The Sorcerer Family, “Hell In Mirrors”: Betcha’ never thought a ukulele could sound ominous before, huh? Well, just give The Sorcerer Family a listen. Sam Lopez, formerly of the pitch-black noise project Zsa Zsa Gabor, crafts meditative, discordant and tantalizingly mysterious tunes on a slightly fuzzy electric ukulele. His technical and unorthodox playing recalls traditional folk styles lost to the ages. And at times, it really does feel like he’s prying open a secret door shrouded in mist, behind which lies some spirit whose return was long foretold, but whose power has been forgotten.
Best enjoyed by candlelight. Heck, light a dozen.
