Some things take a long time. And some things are meant to last. But how you know that, or learn how to find out, that’s a more intangible thing. That’s ‘A Shaw Deal’ - intangible. A communal meeting place for two old friends and their different musics. ‘A Shaw Deal’ is the first album by Geologist and D.S.. They go back a long ways - back before Highlife, before Shaw joined White Magic - back to the early childhood of Animal Collective. Basically, Doug Shaw touched down in NYC around 2003, and he and Geologist (Brian Weitz) have been friends ever since. D.S. first released his own music under the moniker Highlife on the album ‘Best Bless’ in 2010. Listeners were lifted by the sound - a vital new transmission imbued by the popular African guitar music, British folk-pop, desert blues and the ritual spirit energy that Doug had been evoking in White Magic with Mira Billotte. And really, if you knew Doug, this incredible alchemy was just one of the amazing ways he could come through on the guitar. And also, if you know Doug, you know that all his crazy shit is just massed up somewhere, ready to fill up a great album of his own. A couple of years back, Doug was posting bits of his playing on Instagram and Brian found them to be a much-needed escape from reality – he would just let them loop for stretches of time, get lost in there, and emerge with recharged energies. They were such perfect mini-encapsulations of Doug’s fantastic spirit. Brian was inspired. Eventually, he ran them through his modular system, editing and tweaking and looping as he went, creating new shapes and juxtapositions, instinctively rewiring Doug’s original sounds to extend the feeling of peace they’d given him. Once it was all together, it would make a cool birthday present to regift to Doug. And once the gift was given, it was sounding like an album too. From start to finish, ‘A Shaw Deal’ taps into D.S.’s guitar playing and the vibe of his expression, drawing out meditative waves in new forms while exploring the worlds within them. Geologist and D.S. collaborate in a manner that has brought comfort and release to them both. ‘A Shaw Deal’ leaves no doubt, as it radiates further into the world and beyond - it will bring a new range of views and feels to everyone who listens in.
