Steven R. Smith’s Worstward Recordings
Bandcamp Monday!!! This week, I’m directing you over to Steven R. Smith’s Worstward Recordings page, which is an embarrassment of psychedelic riches. Over on Aquarium Drunkard last week, I wrote a bit about, Salt, Smith’s latest on Soft Abuse (released under the Ulaan Khol moniker), but it is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to exploring this guy’s fertile musical imagination. For a guide, I recommend hitting up Marc Masters’ Out Door column … and then just start digging in. I haven’t even scratched the surface, but I’ve loved everything I’ve checked out so far.
“To be honest, most of the time, I don’t really know what I’m doing, I’m just trying things. My goal is to create a situation where accidents can happen—hopefully good accidents. There’s never perfection; I’m not looking for that. I’m just looking to get something that I didn’t expect. Because then hopefully people listening will hear something that they weren’t expecting.”
