Unapologetically pure wistful acoustic slide-guitar improvisations from who other than Jon Collin, finally back in print.
What’s really left to say about Jon’s music?Few contemporary musicians have the confidence (or virtuoso ability) to present two full sides of their own music with little other than feint atmospheric sound to fill in the space.The Nature was recorded both here in Stockport and Jon’s present day home in Stockholm, notably without electricity.Jon’s intuitive slide-improv shares space on the tape with sparrows overhead, the endless undercurrent of the wind and a distant urban hum.As the title suggests, this is music in its most undiluted form.It’s most likely the most common form of music, other than the fact that mostly moments this intimate and in-the-moment aren’t shared with people.The pacing and unpredictably of Jon’s playing here is really inimitable, complexity presented as simplicity in the most time diluting manner imaginable.One we’ll always go back to.(Mint / New / hand-made paste on sleeve - shops pls getin touch for wholesale).
