Vinyl LP pressing of this 2011 EP. France's High Wolf possesses a natural-born ability to produce tones most conducive to inducing transcendental states. Prolific without wearing out his welcome, the guitarist and effects box manipulator sets loose fervid streams of fever-dream drones. High Wolf's tracks sound as if they've been sluicing since the beginning of time, siphoned for teasingly brief absorption before they shimmer off to the vanishing point. This elite is one of a few musicians who could title a 7-inch a Guide to Healing without it coming off as an ironic gesture or a laughable boast. (Cop one and try not to get a spring in your chakras.) Fuji Descent, The Dawn of Man, Raagini, Kenya Sunset, Haiti
