I am very excited to share the news for today’s BANDCAMP FRIDAY & RELEASE DAY.

‘Reverberations from the American Southwest’ is out now on Desert Records.
Available on Bandcamp.
Streaming on all platforms.

For fans of: Ennio Morricone, Neil Young (‘Dead Man’ soundtrack), Earth, Emma Ruth Rundle.

“This one is near and dear to me, as I have taken a leap and have released my debut solo album.
I recorded this entirely outside in the high deserts in & around Albuquerque, NM in the spring of 2025. I hauled all gear in a wagon and hiked as far out on quiet trails, deserts, and forests as I could. This is an immersive piece of music, blending the natural landscape and soundscape of nature with psychedelic western electric baritone guitar and harmonica.
I recorded the 15 tracks at seven different locations over two months. Finding a setting that was completely free of human voices, car noises, and airplanes was actually quite challenging. On top of that, wind was a constant battle as the area is very windy in the spring.
Each track starts with a drone, the underlying foundation of each piece. These drones are meant to match the vibe and hum of the locations in which they were captured.
I performed the songs at very low volume in hope to reduce any intrusiveness that I may have on nature. I spent more time listening and waiting for the right moments than I actually did performing the album. Some of these tracks are short, as the setting only called for a minute or two. Ultimately, I succeeded in capturing as honest an album that I possibly could.

This will transport you to the deserts of New Mexico.
Thank you for listening.”

Tiny amp, big sounds.
From the ‘Reverberations from the American Southwest’ outdoor recording sessions.
Using only an all tube Fender Champ 600 w/ an upgraded Ted Weber speaker, I achieved a larger than life sound.
Let the microphones do the work.
Sennheiser e609 on the front. Shure SM57 on the back.
Fowl Sounds pedals were a big part of the sound (full pedal board pics coming soon).
290w Jackery generator powered the sessions.

SONG PREMIERE!
“Desert Is As Desert Does” is premiering via The Obelisk.
Dark, twangy, reverb/tremolo guitar licks.

“Easy enough to imagine Frye with the guitar, amp and a pedal board in the car, driving out into the desert around Albuquerque, finding his spots and hopping out to do a bit of self-recording.
The key is immersion, and “Desert is as Desert Does” represents just a sliver of the world the album unfolds.” - JJ Koczan/The Obelisk
