Kevin McCormick Sticklebacks

Label / Smiling C
Category / Ambient, Organic Electronica
Code / SC#11

Kevin McCormick's unreleased bedroom studio tape material (1984-1987). Following the release of Light Patterns in 1982, Kevin recorded a series of songs onto tape that explored the sonic possibilities of a solitary guitarist. Shedding the acoustic sound of his previous effort, he adopted a swelling electric palette to explore different moods. These recordings are a shift in direction to a sparse and ambient style, and their hazy, repetitive movements create room for evocative melodies. Kevin fills a deficiency of guitar-forward music with his minimalistic approach that is somewhere in the space between ambient, rock, jazz, and avant-garde. On Sticklebacks, he casts away the morning elegance of Light Patterns and leans further into the introverted feelings of the small hours. It is a nascent springtime journey that shows just what Kevin is capable of with six strings.
