Rake Kash – Rake Kash

“Omaha multi-instrumentalist L. Eugene Methe’s Rake Kash ensemble have become a favorite this winter, thanks to their varied and amiable self-titled LP on his increasingly active Gertrude Tapes imprint. Spending time in the Midwest for work the last several months, the album was a timely introduction to the area and a wildly unexpected nostalgia loop — Gertrude’s compact catalog having some overlap with Gary Beauvais‘ defunct Animal Disguise imprint, on hiatus since 2013 when he let go of the wheel ostensibly to focus on his project Mammal. An “Untitled” EP from Rake Kash was among the last trio of Animal Disguise releases, so the current lineup’s library-tinged psych amble hits with the force of both legacies. Whether it’s the jazzy kosmische of “Stonebreakers” and “Mirren;” the rambling, mournful harmonica and spacey guitar licks of “The Wheat Sifters;” the drunken, transcendental skronk of “New Citizen;” or the revery of closer “New Directions,” the tone throughout is brilliantly cosmic. Saxophone and drone mingle to add a wonderful, smokey haze of noir, though other deft hands all contribute their own light touches. Thematically, the listener is probably left wondering if Methe plans to move farther west. So many of the incidentals here — right up to the cover art adaptation of Gustave Courbet’s 1849 painting The Stonebreakers — conjure American expansion, the drive to the Pacific, even the first railroads laid across the old Nebraska Territory. Whatever the case, it’s good fun.” – Decoder Magazine
