WHITE RAINBOW: Zome
- Paul Haney
If Zome is the first major White Rainbow release, and it will be followed by a five-disc box-set of older material on Marriage Records. Zome is also said to be "an audio love letter to Honey Owens" (of Jackie-O Motherfucker fame). If Zome is any indication, Adam Forkner's (a.k.a. [[[[VVRSSNN]]]]) White Rainbow venture aims to occupy the more serene and pretty realms of the improv-heavy, post-rock spectrum. The ringing guitar tones that open "Guilded Golden Ladies" give way to four more pieces of gorgeous ambient guitar chiming, skittery beats and sparse accompaniment, all prefacing the 20-minute tranquil buzz of the title track. Forkner avoids cluttering the already dense post-rock field with a compellingly soothing sound, the kind of record to listen to while lying in the sun all afternoon.
