Britain’s James Blackshaw has been garnering critical accolades over the last couple of years for his minimalist guitarwork. I think it’s wrong to call him a minimalist. True, his records consist only of solo 12-string guitar pieces, but those pieces brim: notes, themes, and moods rain into the lengthy tracks until they overflow, tip over, or burst. He is not afraid of repetition, and then more repetition, but what he is repeating isn’t at all pared down: Waking into Sleep’s effusive, colorful patterns come back again and again, but to my ears, the end result is no more minimal than Panda Bear’s Person Pitch. Blackshaw rides bold, repetitive bass parts that lend an Eastern, sitar-like feel to the otherwise rustic filigree he imparts via fancy trills, slides, and picking patterns. He works over his 12 strings with authority.

Summoning Suns' is James Blackshaw's tenth studio album and the first recording to feature his voice and lyrics. Drawing inspiration from 60's and 70's singer-songwriters, baroque/orchestral pop and folk music, while still sounding contemporary, 'Summoning Suns' is Blackshaw's foray into more traditional forms of songcraft. Blackshaw sings in a gentle but assured voice while his words combine his personal experiences, neuroses and fantasy through many layers of abstraction, poeticism and dark humour.
