Vinyl LP pressing. Reissue of this 2016 release from the experimental rock band. Historical Graffiti is the band's fourth full-length. Gary Arce, the guitarist, seems comfortable sitting on a single vamp throughout the opener 'The Wind Cries Edalyn', allowing the additions of violin and bandoleon accordion (played by the tango musicians Sara Ryan and Adolfo Trepiana, respectively) to weave melodies in between. Despite the titular connection to the Jimi Hendrix song, it bears no discernible resemblance to 'The Wind Cries Mary' and it is a deceptive number; what seems such a simple, almost easy-listening song reveals more color with every listen.
