Bill Orcutt
Curated by Tropical Fuck Storm
In its simplicity, the title of Bill Orcutt’s latest album, Music in Continuous Motion, captures the musician’s decades-long career as well as his style: a steady flow of riffs and arpeggios that takes shape through guitar quartets, punk bands, power trios or in solo shows with his loyal four-string Telecaster. He’s a great guitar innovator—with a groovy style—whose practice is rooted in blues, americana and psychedelic rock. Rather than focusing on abstraction, his experimentation is the kind that feels deeply emotional, where every string buzz aligns with a heart beat.
