Delivering an experimental dose of beautifully stark minimalism, Austin-based acoustic-electric duo FiRES WERE SHOT returns with the new single “Dirtdobber.” For over twenty years, John Wilkins and Clay Walton have been writing and producing innovative acoustic guitar duets through the use of colorful effects, abstract playing techniques and warping tape manipulation.
Utilizing a screwdriver in place of a bow and slide, the balance of melody and texture on “Dirtdobber” is as elegant as it is haunting, building layers of looped guitar work that swirl amongst the ambient soundscape. As the richness of their style and sound ripens with the longevity of their career, FiRES WERE SHOT re-emerges with a remarkable track with “Dirtdobber.”
