ONE STRAY COPY

French globe-tourist High Wolf has hand-rolled his way up Mount Fuji, trainspotted through Europe, hitchiked America and Australia, chugged Ganges water, and crouched on all manner of smoke-stained prayer rug since first looping a bongo back in ’09. His apprenticeship in the House Of Wah is nearly complete. He’s hinted at a seismic shift in the High Wolf third eye doctrine lurking in the near future; perhaps an Away Team exfoliation moment is nigh.

Lucky then for listenerships he’s granted us the astral jungle concoctions of Kairos: Chronos, as it encapsulates the depths and dreams of his half-decade Amazon Cosmosis. All the tenets are in place: heat-spells of hand-percussion, snakecharmer fuzz-guitar, sunlit synths, bass thumping through grass amps, etc. From the hidden temple hymn “Kulti” to the 13-minute self-beheading solar eclipse shakedown, “Alvarado,” the record represents rarified proof of The Wolf On High. On tour now in every country on Earth.
