Opening gambit “Hom Hung Our Garden” is a slow, safe slip into retrograde psychedelic swirl. It sounds like a thought flitting through Brian Wilson’s head the first time he dropped and saw Maharishi Mahesh, yogi, leading the beat scene in circles. Which I guess sounds a bit like what Les Rallizes Dénudés would sound like if they’d misinterpreted the Velvets a bit less harsh. What I’m trying to say is that “Hom Hung Our Garden” — laterally shouting the Kowloon King as it does — has an East/West mix on music-making and recording that uproots it from Orlando, New York, wherever this web was spun. That feeling seeps into track two (“Peace in the Valley”), though this one’s a more local hybrid. Shaker harmony belted to a Baptist-slow beat, Appalachia meets the Deep South but gets sun-baked & blistered in the Florida boys’ brains beforehand. Just brothers singing.
　　Then the globally local fraternity travels on, over to the flip, where the peripatetic brothers Frank — Joshua and Simon — advance their spooky action at a distance as Hot & Cold. The band’s existed in New Delhi, Beijing, New York City, Montreal, et al, but almost never in the same place + time. The “Betel Nut Girl”, much like Hot & Cold itself, could be coming from (or going to) ANYWHERE. All we know is that her arrival is heralded by Hot & Cold’s signature phaser-itual, Casiorgan spiralling, samba preset shuffling half-time. After the extended instrumental intro we close things with “City Walls”. Global nomad blues. The rootless traveler sees everything, absorbing nothing. Just sound phases.
