The New Honey Shade – Ozark Dream
November 12, 2011
Scissor Tail Editions: Just from glancing at the cover, it is apparent that Ozark Dream by The New Honey Shade is a tape created to invoke a pastoral setting. Playing this music brings listeners right into the home of experimental music maven Mark Kuykendall, the stretching fields and golden mountains of Oklahoma. But this is music that transcends geography and occasion – it sounds as great soundtracking hazy, sunny days as it does during dark, rainy nights. Ozark Dream is an extremely unique tape in today’s world of drone in that – instead of aiming for the depths of outer space – it attempts to bring listeners right home and let them appreciate the beauty of their own backyards. Just beautiful.
