Overview
Release Date:09/18/2015;Notes:Originally released in 1966. Fahey's never recorded an album that was more thoroughly of it's moment. From the groovy flute and twangy sitar accompaniment to the backwards guitar, this Birthday Party is a charmingly trippy 60s time capsule. But it isn't a two dimensional one. The album gains immense depth from the tension between his sweeping, finger picked melodies and discordant string-battery. It's the audible battle between yearned for rose colored luminescence and ankle blistering hellhound darkness that enables this record to transcend it's hippie dreaminess.
