Tim Hill returns w/ instant instrumental classic - “Moon Landing” :: 03/15
Wandering autonomy of spacial awareness with a calming, cataclysmic countryside, Tim Hill returns with a spectacular instrumental album entitled “Moon Landing”. An epic saga that is both tragic and cinematic with cascading depths of stunning visual apparatuses, “Moon Landing” is this breathtaking yoga for the mind. A bookmark placed amongst his piers such as Mort Garson, Bill Evans, Coltrane and Bach. Knowing of Hill’s deep love and admiration for classical music and the likes, this album shouldn’t be something difficult, or intimidating to grasp from Hill, even if your more leaning towards his singer-songwriter catalog. He simply transcends way beyond an acoustic guitar and the usual story-telling that follows by quietly pivoting into what interests him the most and its our responsibility as fans and admirers to bravely follow them into that bardo abyss of sound and expression. With his last release, “Shades of Green”, Hill has fully embodied the old world where the capitative, cinematic scores of film and lavish horizons overtake the romantic realm of art.
Both exciting and incredibly moving, the album features 7 tracks all colliding into this gorgeous array of light, focus, conspiracy and softend texture. Hill’s ability to carry a strong narrative throughout his choice mediums is highly contagious. It truly inspires its listeners to fasten their polyester seatbelts while their heads softly rest against a memory foam manifesto, gazing out the craft’s oval eyed windows into a dim eternity of floating notes and elevated bloodstream. As we wrap around expected solar systems, dodging debris from our past explorations, we find ourselves alone in grand solace. Quietly staring through slightly foggy astro glass, “Moon Landing” is a quivering testament to this musician’s rich discography and one that should be listened too with an archaic ear against precious stone as the yellowed lunar blooms into a thousand hands all clapping in a circle of wind and scattered matter. Hill finally made the record that’s been laying dormant in the catacomb caves of his mind and we couldn’t be more eager to finally hear it.
