Nathan Bowles - Whole & Cloven 3xLP this private press sees MacFarlaneOn his exquisite third solo album, Nathan Bowles (Steve Gunn, Pelt, Black Twig Pickers) again augments his mesmeric clawhammer banjo pieces with piano, percussion, and vocals. Instead of the programmatic place based narratives of its predecessor Nansemond (PoB 16), Whole & Cloven offers a stoic meditation on absence, loss, and fragmentation, populating those experiential gaps the weighty interstices and places in between with stillness and wonder.
