In Oakland, California, Thanksgiving has been taking on a lysergic flair since Greg Ashley (Gris Gris) and Brian Glaze have made it a tradition of cutting tape in Greg's home studio instead of turkey at the dinner table. And from the latest feast comes the sophomore effort on Birdman Records by this modern troubadour from the land that spawned the Brian Jonestown Massacre (of which he was a member), Badly Drawn Boy and Mayo Thompson (Red Krayola). Between the deep, rich and dark songwriting and the masterful Ashley arrangements, Rainsplitter widens Glaze's scope and puts him prominently in within the New Weird America folk psych scene. Fresh from the Greg Ashley Medicine F*** Dream Hootenanny, Brian Glaze is ready to open hearts as he splits the rain from the sky.
