Free Music Monday MV EE Too Far to See

MV & EE's latest LP —due out May 15 on Woodsist— is named Space Homestead. It's, likely, a tongue-in-cheek name for the sound the Vermont duo turns out. The veteran acid-folkies —whose infamous '90s band, the Tower Recordings, basically forged the freak-folk blueprint— make rustic, down-home Americana laced with interstellar psychedelia; sounding at once rural and cosmic.

"To Far to See," an in-advance taste of Space Homestead, is a curious 'single' choice for the prolific pair. After early Erika Elder murmurings about "special flowers" and "circular shapes" amidst milling noise, the jam settles into a lazy groove and Matt Valentine gets to wigging out. There's bascially two solid minutes of exploratory soloin', with effects-draped lead licks left lingering, trailing out bright then fading into space.
