Chris Forsyth and the Solar Motel Band + 75 Dollar Bill

Chris Forsyth champions a borderless approach to avant-garde guitar that draws equally on experimental improv, woolly psych-rock and the left-field punk of his onetime teacher Richard Lloyd. Here he's leading his hardest-driving crew yet—heard on their newest, The Rarity of Experience—a sort of ecstatic jam band built around shaggy, hypnotic roots-gone-raga grooves.
