Ben Chasny's "The Intimate Landscape"

At the invitation of KPM Music, the wizard of Six Organs of Admittance steps behind his acoustic to produce a new instrumental guitar set. Library music, or deeply personal essays on a formative instrument? Under his fingers, Ben plays it both ways, making simply beautiful music that spans beyond the limits of folk, ambient and soundtrack music.

Come one, come all for another exclusive look at The Intimate Landscape! For this third and final pre-release single before its November 5th release, (after "Water Dragon" and "Six Diamonds") Ben Chasny has chosen to shine a bright, "Second Moon" down upon us, correctly predicting we're ready for lunar illumination while keeping both feet on terra firma. Go on, get blissed while woodsy guitar notes pull you deeply inward to the core - those rusty accoustics are balanced by gauzy synth notes sure to evoke a sense of yearning and zen-like intention! Minimalist ambiance that works on the ear as both music and atmosphere? Why yes, let's all have another!

Speaking of having another, watching something is nicest with a bevy in hand, isn't it? Well, to further commemorate Ben's first official solo release, our buds at Illuminated Brew Works have revealed an exceptional new offering: the Intimate Landscape Belgian Dubbel, which anyone within drinking distance can grab while watching the visualizer for "Second Moon"! We're not in the business of describing beer, so here's how the folks at IBW describe this sweet, Chasny-inspired nectar:
