The Preservation label presents
Beeswax Ephemera
from Iowa City guitarist
Evan Miller
. With one eye on the future and one on the past, his playing has considerable technical and abstract expanse, though retains a wonderful melodic sensibility up front. Evan's experimental leanings give
Beeswax Ephemera
an idiosyncratic quality that mark an inventive new talent in the world of artists taking guitar music into exciting new directions. These nominally earthy compositions take flight with the undeniable spirit of country-blues and early Takoma folk recordings from the likes of
John Fahey
, but also journey into more surreal ruminations for a rapturous work sitting somewhere between down-home, mysterious and timeless. After taking piano and clarinet lessons as a child, Evan acquired his first six-string at 14, though it stayed propped against a wall for a time until the age-old spur of competitive teenage boys made him pick it up and start playing. It was a quick transition from aping FM radio rock staples to fingerpicking folk, via a copy of
Stephan Grossman
's instruction classic
Country-Blues Guitar
book passed on by his father. Its influence still looms large: The closing track on
Beeswax Ephemera
is a dynamic take on
Furry Lewis
' blues classic "I Will Turn Your Money Green" that also finds room for a blistering snatch of electric guitar, rolling clarinet lines and sleigh bells by its end.
Beeswax Ephemera
was originally self-released by Evan in a handmade edition of 150, primarily sold on tour through the United Kingdom. This new Preservation edition has been mastered by former
Yellow Swans
member
Pete Swanson
and also features a suite of new pieces that display an even newer breadth in Evan's style, "Three Visions of Stylites."
