Knock on wood, knock on trees

You can't help but admire the winding career of Warren Defever (aka His Name Is Alive), who has followed his muse across all sorts of unpredictable realms, treating some of his best songs as palimpsests.

I suppose Stars on E.S.P. was Defever's commercial highpoint, and its various shades of '60s-looking psychedelic pop still sound inspired. The kind of album that just wants to flow and not let you get too caught up in individual tracks. Still, this one sounds pretty nice after being fished out of the sparkling river.
