American primitive guitar. Freak folk. Experimental acoustic. Those are just words, and this is just music. Jump on It is the latest album by San Francisco-based guitarist and composer Bill Orcutt, and it’s a beauty. It’s 10 tracks of the instrumental acoustic guitar meditations and improvisations that Orcutt has become known for, fingerpicking his way through a peaceful solitude fit for any hour of the day. Compared to last year’s release, it’s the same but different: Music for Four Guitars was just that, converting the contemplative solo acoustic into an electric chamber jam. And all of it’s distant but still connected to Harry Pussy, the Miami noise rock band Orcutt founded in the 90s.
