Landing – Third Sight CD

Connecticut’s Landing have specialized in a mild and rural kind of psychedelia for almost two decades. ‘Third Sight’ – recorded specifically for El Paraiso Records’ Impetus series – builds on the hallucinatory soundscapes of the band’s earliest days. There’s a unique sense of motoric drift to these four long pieces, and an or-ganic blend of rock instrumentation and analog electronics that brings to mind Eno’s best 1970s collaborations. But the group’s flair for fuzzy drones and new weirdsy commune-folk also betrays their affiliation with the experimental American east coast scene – playing shows with Bardo Pond and releasing a split EP with Windy & Carl among other things throughout their career.
