about

Dibson T. Hoffweiler is a man on the move. Before his stint in the Bay Area, Dibson was a fixture in the New York Anti-Folk scene of the turn of the century. His recent move to Sebastopol, a small rural town in Northern California, prompted this new album, which we are proud to feature as the latest installment for our Editions Littlefield sub-label.

As the careful reader might guess from the title, one half of Oakland to Sebastopol was recorded in Oakland, the other half in Sebastopol, each side front-loaded with an upper-harmonic-exploring “Enneagram Study.” Occasionally, rural soundscapes or roommates rummaging through the kitchen will weave their way through Hoffweiler’s pastoral finger-picking. Oakland to Sebastopol is emotionally charged and sentimental without giving in to overwrought saccharinity.

Hoffweiler’s guitar playing is agile and considered, his straight-forward song structures emphasize his technical skills without being overpowered by them. First the time on his solo guitar material, he is joined on select pieces by instrumentalists Sarah Stanley and Andrew Weathers providing simple adornment to the already lush sound.

On Oakland to Sebastopol, Hoffweiler captures the fleeting, intimate moments that give meaning to our rote, daily activities with a delicate touch and sensitivity not quite equalled among the current crop of young American Primitive revivalists.

[CFE#68] Modal Improvisations on 34 Strings
by Rob Noyes & Ryan Lee Crosby

supported by 7 fans who also own “Oakland to Sebastopol”

What we have here is two younger string players who have come out of the gates at the top of their game. The combination of Robert’s tuneful fingerpicking with Ryan’s take on the improvisation inherent in indian classical music is a match made in heaven. Like mint ice cream and chocolate chips. Sweet, a microsecond of unexpected hard-to-place flavor, then a refreshing finish. I have NO doubt these two will have more to offer us in the future. Richard Hayes

Fine exercise in acoustic guitar styles/production here, six tracks taking various tacks from classic fingerpicking to American Primitive to collaborations and less-crisp production. A good late night listen. Ned Raggett
