Improvika

VINYL FORMAT. On Improvika, Sir Richard Bishop rides a very tall horse through a surrealist's cowboy set that's one part bruit Peckinpah muscularity and two parts illuminated Jodorowskian symbolism. A very strange place, indeed. Armed only with a single steel string wooden guitar, bare-knuckled Bishop fends off the horrors and dangers of the night with ease as he spits out glorious white robed arabesques, Django inspired gypsy arcs, and Latin terracotta flourishes like so many spinning tumbleweeds in a one horse town that is his alone. Improvika is Sir Richard's follow up to his part on locust's celebrated Wooden Guitar collection and second full length release after his debut on John Fahey's Revenant label.
