The Sympathetic String Band - unknown

This pair of spiritual psych explorers — a sort of pastoral adjunct to some more rockin' sounds you might hear from Roy as well as one Hieronymus Harry (also of Mr. Joy) — fit in quite perfectly next to Ayal Senior's music (and, in fact, the three would close out the show playing a quick set together as Flotation Device). Bearing some sitar-y, lute-y, and dulcimer-y things as well as their guitars, their pieces were somewhere on the pathway from "jams" to "songs" — here situated in some middle ground of "agreed upon zones".

[I will be guest-hosting Ayal Senior's Tranzac monthly once more next Sunday (October 9th, 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.), which'll feature regulars Nick Flanagan and Kurt Newman along with a special appearance by the Electroacoustic Autumn Ensemble (Kieran Miraj, Fuzzy Nibesh, William Davison + special guests!).]
