2007's Shelter from the Ash (Drag City), found guitarist Ben Chasny (a.k.a. Six Organs) fusing tuneful folkie-ness and visionary raga-guitar into compact, accessible music. But just because Shelter's succinct and pretty doesn't mean it's toothless—witness the tormented guitar solo on "Coming to Get You" and the haunting vocal bridge on "Jade Like Wine." Tourmate Mick Turner's reinvented his guitar vocabulary over the last 25 years in the Fungus Brains, Moodists, Dirty Three, Tren Brothers, and on solo records. His current mode is laconic and painterly: His pieces unfurl slowly and spontaneously; soothing at first, they're sad and beautiful on a closer listen. 18+.
