about

Since 2003 Justin Wright’s Expo 70 project has been pushing drone and Kosmiche Musik to new realms, creating a layered world of sound that brings the listener to alien lands and foreign terrain while maintaining a dreamlike quality with shifting melodies and moods. Constant touring and a string of critically acclaimed albums released on labels such as Kill Shaman, Beta-lactam Ring, and Peasant Magik have clearly brought Expo 70’s name to the forefront of modern drone and Kosmiche Musik.

Where Does Your Mind Go? is the brand new studio album from Expo 70 recorded during one prolific evening in 2009 while on an East Coast tour. The recording was tackled by Jason Meagher (No Neck Blues Band, D. Charles Speer & the Helix) at his Black Dirt Studios in upstate New York. On the recording Expo 70 founder Justin Wright is joined by part-time player Matt Hill (Umberto) and the two truly capture time and stand it still. Where Does Your Mind Go? is a 74 minute journey released on deluxe double LP and comprised of four long-form tracks that each take up a side of the two LPs.

The drum rhythm of the album’s opening track “Close Your Eyes and Effortlessly Drift Away” will surely put the listener in a relaxed trance. Delicately strummed notes from guitar and synth slowly surface and come to the forefront, building as the guitar melodies shift and flow alongside majestic ambiance that is eventually joined by a moody bass line. Side B’s “Night Dusting the Atmosphere” is a more electronically driven piece that conjures the best of mid-70’s Klaus Schulze with darker moods that sound more like a 70’s horror film than a loose drift into space.

The second record shifts as “Transgressing Outward Which is Inward” opens with a pounding synth loop and is accompanied three minutes later by piano. Clocking in at nineteen minutes this track’s brooding synth melodies and fluttering piano notes build into a John Cage-like choral resonance. It’s not hard to lose time while listening, as the moods of each instrument delicately transform and intertwine.

The last song recorded during this eventful night is the album closer “Ancient Hawk Soul Takes Flight”, a heavy and morbid psychedelic affair. Dubbed out sitar lines and organ melodies build off delayed echoing reverb and morph into trance drum loops while spaced-out synth parts are accompanied by a dubbed-out bass.

Where Does Your Mind Go? is the sound of Expo 70 breaking into new terrain and is an epic statement from an artist already so highly regarded. The album will also be one of the most widely distributed and available of the Expo 70 catalog and is also rare in that it was recorded in a proper studio (almost all Expo 70 recordings to this point have been recorded in Wright’s home studio.)

The remaining songs captured during these recording sessions will be released early next year on Immune as a companion album entitled Journey Through Astral Projection.

If you were in an industrial accident in the rubber bullet factory at which you are a shift supervisor, but for whatever reason that particular day you decided to use all your braided rawhide leather belts to sandwich pillows around your body instead of wearing clothes to work, and by so doing you survive the accident... this is that, but more guitar-forward. woe_bonnet

Blending jazz rock and post rock with minimalist instrumentation. Tortoise is one of the best examples of a band being able to take a little and make it sound full and dynamic throughout a track. My fav album from them and a true masterclass of post rock. 10/10 angrypizza98
