Anyone missing the instrumental flavors of 1990s Chicago and Cologne may take interest, as “This World” contains the work of seminal practitioners, even in guest spots such as Rachel Grimes of Rachel’s. I didn’t get the poster for the release show, that is said to come with each of the edition of 100, nor did I attend said concert, which also featured Steve Gunn and Ryley Walker, but it’s ok, I plan to see all of these artists someday, maybe all in the same show again if I can. It’s a nice poster of two Russian dolls holding hands on a cable footbridge connecting and running through two different people’s ears, suspended over a rocky shore. There are complimentary sounds and visuals to consume and appreciate by all parties surrounding Watter. Louisville, KY’s auralgami Sounds is worth investigating, with artists such as Dominic Republic, Insect Policy, and The Wrists filling in the blanks, stuffing nuggets in hidden vaults.
