Hovering Resonance by Expo '70
Released by Sound of Cobra January 2012. Edition of 200 single-sided LP's.
SOUND OF COBRA
Expo `70 is the Kansas City, Missouri based multi-instrumentalist Justin Wright and `HOVERING RESONANCE` is his new 12inch (one sided) released by Sound of Cobra from Italy. We consider Expo `70 one of the most interesting musicians of North America`s new kosmische music scene and with this album he continues his travel into a sound made of hypnotic vibes, ecstasy and cosmic oneness. The two tracks of the album are played with synth, guitar, analogue electronics and percussions and trough a wise use of repetitons and loops they are able to conduce into altered states of psychedelic listening and space rock meditations. Limited edition of 200 one-sided LPs.

Justin Wright returns with another floating vabrational anthem under the Expo '70 moniker. His latest release comes from small run masters Sound of Cobra and features two cuts of dark, driven Kosmiche marked with the usual high quality musicianship that we've come to expect from Wright. The title track is a definite highlight, underpinned by an ominous drone and Wright's snaking guitar only building the inky tension to a white-knuckled height. The second cut injects an Eastern raga template to Expo's usual adherence to the Space Rock/Kosmiche axis and its a fittingly ornate counterbalance to the title track's dark spirals. It seems that in our opinion, Wright can do little wrong and this Hovering Resonance is further proof of this theory. It is, however, extraordinarily limited so be sure to pick one up in its handsome vinyl packaging as soon as possible.
