His productive enclave of instrumental music has not only\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eushered in new sounds, but also critical new voices. No other solo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmerican guitarist this century has impacted that fecund scene quite\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elike him. And on the brilliant, bracing Time Indefinite, Tyler's first solo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ealbum in five years, he steps at last into the widening gyre he helped\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecreate. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe guitar is the starting point for an album that will make you \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereconsider not only Tyler but also the possibilities of an entire field. A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003evortex of noise and harmony, ghosts and dreams, anguish and hope, it\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis not just a great guitar record. It is a stunning record by a great\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eguitarist, a masterpiece of our collectively anxious time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn early 2020, as the world teetered at the edge of unrests still\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eunimagined, Tyler left LA for Nashville, where he'd lived most of his life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMost of his gear and all of his records stayed, awaiting a presumed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erapid return. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt, of course, wasn't. So as Tyler dealt with the depression, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enerves, and questions of those endlessly tense times, he began\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erecording ideas with his phone and a cassette deck, resigning himself to\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe distortion inherent in those devices. Tyler was talking with Kieran\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHebden about making a record together, and some of these bits felt like\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etest cases. As that collaboration crept in other directions Tyler magpied\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eother sounds. He asked longtime friend, producer Jake Davis, to help\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estitch them together, opting to embrace the hiss and wobble and to\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eunintentionally make a record that reflected those times and\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethese-uneasy, damaged, honest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA seesaw of struggle and survival defines these songs, a map of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eanguish and belief and the trails that link them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"This is a mental illness \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erecord,\" Tyler will tell you without shame, as open in life and speech as\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehe is on tape. \"It's music about losing your mind but not wanting to,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eabout trying to come back.\" He doesn't need to tell you that; you can\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efeel it, possibly recognize it from your own experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTyler's albums have been nests of non-musical influences, as he has\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epivoted between spirituality and philosophy and summoned the\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elandscapes of the greater American imagination. Time Indefinite is no\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edifferent, especially in the way it conjures the deeply personal films of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoss McElwee. In the mid-'80s, he began to make a movie about\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSherman's march through the South, but it spiraled into a tangled\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehistory about family, loss, and what we do when our best instincts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esurrender to the worst things we can imagine. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe record is a nod to this \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eidea, of time's relentless push and our place in, beneath, and beside it. It\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis no great revelation that the lives we lead shape the work we make,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewhether or not we intend that to be the case. In these songs, you can\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehear Tyler wrestle with incoming demons out loud-addiction, middle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eage, loneliness, neurosis. All of our struggles are different, but we are\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eunited in having them.
