In 1982, when the guitarist was a toddler, his parents co-wrote the hit single \u201cBobbie Sue\u201d for veteran country group The Oak Ridge Boys. His father also wrote LeAnn Rimes\u2019s 1997 hit \u201cThe Light in Your Eyes\u201d. Its folksy message about staying positive amid life\u2019s setbacks was originally penned by Tyler Sr as advice to his son.The younger Tyler has since established himself as a notable musician in his own right. He found his feet on the other side of the musical tracks, playing guitar in Nashville alt-country band Lambchop and cult indie act Silver Jews. His solo albums are instrumental affairs rooted in Americana but with a prodigal range of reference. The psychedelic folk-rock of 2013\u2019s Impossible Truth was inspired by the twinned Californian impulses towards utopia and apocalypse. His 2016 breakthrough Modern Country combined fingerpicked acoustic guitar with the synthesiser tones of 1970s cosmic music.\u00a0Time Indefinite is named after a film by autobiographical documentary maker Ross McElwee. Tyler\u2019s guitar-playing is plainer than usual. It is embedded in computerised textures and loops, like a ghost in the machine. The album\u2019s off-kilter but immersive sound follows Tyler\u2019s collaboration with electronic musician Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet, on a 2023 double single. It also results from a mid-life sense of crisis and last chances, the dawning understanding that time is not actually indefinite.\u00a0\u201cCabin Six\u201d opens with abrasively clattering beats, like a close-up of helicopter rotor blades, which give way to eerie keyboards and the desolate sound of wind blowing across an empty land. Tyler\u2019s fingerpicking is not apparent until the next track, \u201cConcern\u201d, in which an attractively simple guitar melody cycles through a smeary electronic soundscape. \u201cElectric Lake\u201d shimmers like a mirage while a staticky, echoing voice delivers the indecipherable message of a strange dream. \u201cStar of Hope\u201d has samples of wordless choral vocalisations and slow-motion hymnal guitar, as if grasping through a fog for the reassuringly solid world of \u201cThe Light in Your Eyes\u201d, the song that Tyler\u2019s father wrote for him when he was a child.\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606\u2018Time Indefinite\u2019 is released by Psychic Hotline<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
