Ben Chasny’s music often comes shrouded in a dense fog of haunting distortion and mystical tones, but Asleep On the Floodplain finds him clearing away the cobwebs to deliver one of his most succinct and gleaming psych-folk collections. On songs like “Above a Desert I’ve Never Seen,” Chasny seamlessly blends Eastern influences into his dextrous fingerpicking style, while tracks like “Hold But Let Go” sound both humble and otherworldly at once with their understated synthesizers and circular, meditative melodies.
