Low Skies
I Have Been to Beautiful Places is a collection of haunting daydreams wrapped in a country-tinged atmospheric haze. Low Skies’ music accuses, rages and mourns in equal measure and ushers in an onslaught of ambivalent emotions about romance, religion, salvation and eternity. Originally formed in 2000 by singer/guitarist Chris Salveter and drummer Jason Creps, the album is the first recording from the band to feature the now permanent core lineup that includes multi-instrumentalist Luther Rochester, guitarist Jacob Ross and bassist Brandon Ross as well. With a firestorm of guitars and howling, stricken vocals, I Have Been to Beautiful Places is a tour de force and a taste of what’s to come — and it looks to be quite a dark road ahead.
