Chris Forsyth :: Returns to Solar Motel
Sometimes a record amounts to more than the sum of its parts. Released 10 years ago, Solar Motel found guitarist Chris Forsyth sidestepping the avant-garde improv to embrace rock urgings. The resulting album struck a note—for listeners, but consequently, the artist himself. A decade later, it’s being reissued with extra music as Solar Motel (Expanded). Ahead of its December 8th release, Forsyth joined us to reflect on how the album changed his life—and his artistic point of view.
