Daniel Higgs

Daniel Higgs's third full-length in less than a year, and second for the Holy Mountain label, METEMPSYCHOTIC MELODIES, finds the Lungfish frontman continuing to explore his organic fusion of roots forms and more experimental themes. While it's neasy to dismiss the idea of the artist as a vessel for metaphysical inspiration, Higgs's art (he is also a poet and a painter) is so visionary, yet so fully realized, that it's hard to hear it as a purely terrestrial creation. Cosmic finger-picking, celestial minimalism, and exalting drones are all offered up to something or someone: who or what remains the beautiful mystery of Higgs.
