A taciturn loner and skilled cook (John Magaro) has traveled west and joined a group of fur trappers in Oregon Territory, though he only finds true connection with a Chinese immigrant (Orion Lee) also seeking his fortune; soon the two collaborate on a successful business, although it's longevity is reliant upon the clandestine participation of a nearby wealthy landowner's prized milking cow.

Originally released in 2008 by German imprint Apparent Extent under the moniker The Paper Hats, it is now being reissued under Tyler's own name. The album is imbued with immense meditative space in comparison to Tyler's more recent work, such as 2013's widely acclaimed Impossible Truth. The blend of familiar melody, atmospheric arrangements, and esoteric subject matter is present, but in a nascent form. Deseret Canyon is exploratory in both aesthetic terms and technique. It is the sound of a guitarist and composer coming into his own, finding his voice. Deseret is a term from the Book of Mormon meaning honeybee and also refers to a lost alphabetic script briefly used by the Mormon Church in the 19th century. While Tyler's music is instrumental, he has always been fascinated by the intersection of cultural memory, lost languages, places of exile, and myth. The music on Deseret Canyon acknowledges the drones of the desert, whether they are in the Middle East or the American West. Largely played by Tyler himself, Deseret Canyon includes guest appearances from Lambchop's Paul Niehaus and Ryan Norris as well as engineering work by Mark Nevers and Joe Pisapia, both of whom would later collaborate with Tyler on Impossible Truth and Lost Colony, respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMan of Oran\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Parliament of Birds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Green Cigar Kept Smiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Sleeping Prophet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hermit Kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Waltz of the Circassian Beauties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Crystal Palace Sea of Glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merge Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45005954973917,"sku":"673855053516","price":21.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/2853044.jpg?v=1727231847"},{"product_id":"william-tyler-tyler-william-lost-colony","title":"William Tyler- Tyler, William : Lost Colony (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Whole New Dude\" was born from a conversation on tour with M.C. Taylor (Hiss Golden Messenger) about Julian Jaynes' The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind and how ancient peoples slowly transformed into what we could consider more \"modern\" thinking. Tyler and Taylor joked that the title of the book should have been Whole New Dude, and it stuck. The song is a reworking of an older piece titled \"Man of Oran\" that was originally featured on 2008's Deseret Canyon LP by The Paper Hats, which was the original recording moniker Tyler used for his solo work.\nAfter over a year of solo touring in support of Impossible Truth, Tyler was excited to write and arrange more for an ensemble. Including a pedal steel guitar-infused cover of \"Karussell\" explores Tyler's enthusiasm for seventies German psychedelic music. The 12-inch was recorded and mixed by Joe Pisapia at Middletree Studios in Nashville in late 2013. The full band for this recording is William Tyler on guitar and keyboard; Reece Lazarus (bass guitar); Jamin Orrall (drums, percussion); and Luke Schneider (pedal steel guitar).

His productive enclave of instrumental music has not only ushered in new sounds, but also critical new voices. No other solo American guitarist this century has impacted that fecund scene quite like him. And on the brilliant, bracing Time Indefinite, Tyler's first solo album in five years, he steps at last into the widening gyre he helped create. The guitar is the starting point for an album that will make you reconsider not only Tyler but also the possibilities of an entire field. A vortex of noise and harmony, ghosts and dreams, anguish and hope, it is not just a great guitar record. It is a stunning record by a great guitarist, a masterpiece of our collectively anxious time. In early 2020, as the world teetered at the edge of unrests still unimagined, Tyler left LA for Nashville, where he'd lived most of his life. Most of his gear and all of his records stayed, awaiting a presumed rapid return. It, of course, wasn't. So as Tyler dealt with the depression, nerves, and questions of those endlessly tense times, he began recording ideas with his phone and a cassette deck, resigning himself to the distortion inherent in those devices. Tyler was talking with Kieran Hebden about making a record together, and some of these bits felt like test cases. As that collaboration crept in other directions Tyler magpied other sounds. He asked longtime friend, producer Jake Davis, to help stitch them together, opting to embrace the hiss and wobble and to unintentionally make a record that reflected those times and these-uneasy, damaged, honest. A seesaw of struggle and survival defines these songs, a map of anguish and belief and the trails that link them. \"This is a mental illness record,\" Tyler will tell you without shame, as open in life and speech as he is on tape. \"It's music about losing your mind but not wanting to, about trying to come back.\" He doesn't need to tell you that; you can feel it, possibly recognize it from your own experience. Tyler's albums have been nests of non-musical influences, as he has pivoted between spirituality and philosophy and summoned the landscapes of the greater American imagination. Time Indefinite is no different, especially in the way it conjures the deeply personal films of Ross McElwee. In the mid-'80s, he began to make a movie about Sherman's march through the South, but it spiraled into a tangled history about family, loss, and what we do when our best instincts surrender to the worst things we can imagine. The record is a nod to this idea, of time's relentless push and our place in, beneath, and beside it.

His productive enclave of instrumental music has not only ushered in new sounds, but also critical new voices. No other solo American guitarist this century has impacted that fecund scene quite like him. And on the brilliant, bracing Time Indefinite, Tyler's first solo album in five years, he steps at last into the widening gyre he helped create. The guitar is the starting point for an album that will make you reconsider not only Tyler but also the possibilities of an entire field. A vortex of noise and harmony, ghosts and dreams, anguish and hope, it is not just a great guitar record. It is a stunning record by a great guitarist, a masterpiece of our collectively anxious time. In early 2020, as the world teetered at the edge of unrests still unimagined, Tyler left LA for Nashville, where he'd lived most of his life. Most of his gear and all of his records stayed, awaiting a presumed rapid return. It, of course, wasn't. So as Tyler dealt with the depression, nerves, and questions of those endlessly tense times, he began recording ideas with his phone and a cassette deck, resigning himself to the distortion inherent in those devices. Tyler was talking with Kieran Hebden about making a record together, and some of these bits felt like test cases. As that collaboration crept in other directions Tyler magpied other sounds. He asked longtime friend, producer Jake Davis, to help stitch them together, opting to embrace the hiss and wobble and to unintentionally make a record that reflected those times and these-uneasy, damaged, honest. A seesaw of struggle and survival defines these songs, a map of anguish and belief and the trails that link them. \"This is a mental illness record,\" Tyler will tell you without shame, as open in life and speech as he is on tape. \"It's music about losing your mind but not wanting to, about trying to come back.\" He doesn't need to tell you that; you can feel it, possibly recognize it from your own experience. Tyler's albums have been nests of non-musical influences, as he has pivoted between spirituality and philosophy and summoned the landscapes of the greater American imagination. Time Indefinite is no different, especially in the way it conjures the deeply personal films of Ross McElwee. In the mid-'80s, he began to make a movie about Sherman's march through the South, but it spiraled into a tangled history about family, loss, and what we do when our best instincts surrender to the worst things we can imagine. The record is a nod to this idea, of time's relentless push and our place in, beneath, and beside it.

Taylor:  William s new record, Goes West, is the best music that he s ever made. I m sure of this because I know and love all of his music intimately, and this album moves me the most, and the most consistently. The first time I heard it was in the late spring in the Texas Hill Country, rolling between limestone and scrub. I was on a cleanse then no alcohol, no drugs, no evil thoughts and was astonished at the emotional clarity that the album held. It offered up a model for what I wanted my head to feel like. Goes West marks a sort of narrowing of focus for William s music; it sounds as though he found a way to point himself directly towards the rich and bittersweet emotional center of his music without being distracted by side trips. Perhaps this is down to the fact that William only plays acoustic guitar on the album, a clear and conscious decision considering that he is one of Nashville s great electric guitarists. The band that performs Goes West alongside William including guitarists Meg Duffy and Bill Frisell, bassist and producer Brad Cook, keyboardist James Wallace, drummer Griffin Goldsmith, and engineer Tucker Martine is the best and most sympathetic group of players that William could have assembled to play these songs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFail Safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot in Our Stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCall Me When I\u0026amp;#39;m Breathing Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEventual Surrender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRebecca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVenus in Aquarius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVirginia Is for Loners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMan in a Hurry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur Lady of the Desert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur Lady Of The Desert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46986979147997,"sku":"673855064529","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3841000.jpg?v=1762931947"}],"url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/zh-cn\/collections\/william-tyler.oembed","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
