Peyton Pinkerton - Rapid Cycler

2016 release, the second solo album from renowned indie guitarist/songwriter Peyton Pinkerton (New Radiant Storm King, Silver Jews, Pernice Brothers). Peyton expresses an angular, hook-filled, heartfelt six-string dexterity through his tunings, timings, textures, effects and arrangements-stamped with a rarefied and charismatic sonic intuition. In Peyton's guitar work, you can hear influences from the likes of Keith Levine, John McGeoch, Geordie Walker and Will Sergeant, all integrated into his own distinctive sound. At times his songs evoke the musings of Wire, APB, early Talking Heads, Magazine and Gang of Four-just to name a few. Peyton lives in Western Massachusetts and has maintained his relationship with studio guru Mark Alan Miller who he has worked with since 1990. Drummer J.J. O'Connell (the only other musician to appear on Rapid Cycler) has been recording with Peyton since 2004. Peyton also engineers and produces records for developing solo artists, often playing most of the instruments himself.
