Time Indefinite (LP)
William Tyler
Amoeba Review
Time Indefinite is William Tyler's (Silver Jews, Lambchop) first solo record in five years. "Cabin Six" opens the album with a flutter of distorted noise, harsh sounds layering upon one another, a sort of voice crying above the tumult. Perhaps it's no surprise that this eerie track is a response to the anxiety, fear, and confusion of early 2020, when the world shut down. Partway through, however, a stillness emerges, laced with delicate beauty and quiet resilience. That understated loveliness carries the album forward, creating a rich atmosphere that highlights the joy amidst pain, the wonder amidst the terror. Time Indefinite is brilliant, thoughtful, and essential listening.
