john craigie asterisk the universe

​John Craigie (from the album Asterisk the Universe available on Zabriskie Point Records)
Standing firmly with his feet planted in 2020, John Craigie comes to the realization that an array of infinite possibilities is not a direct path to infinite understanding. His words wrestle and chew on the imbalance with Asterisk the Universe, his latest release. An ambient hum creates an edge underneath “Vallecito” while its wintery tale of darkness slowly unravels, John Craigie cruising on late-night noir rhythms as he works through what makes a man in “Part Wolf” as he walks on a sluggish beat, providing a DIY-guide for life in “Climb Up”. Asterisk the Universe explains its album title with “Don’t Deny” while showing off a ‘brand new’ persona. 
 
The album opens on a superfly-groove, John Craigie wearing shifting skin while “Hustlin” on Asterisk the Universe’s opening cut. Recorded at in the Bodega, California home of Rainbow Girls, the trio sing over a sweet slide guitar, harmonizing on “Used It All Up”, popping up throughout the recording. Quieting the melody to a hush, John Craigie begins the tale of “Nomads”, the story seeking the blessing of a fellow traveler on a persistent shuffle as Asterisk the Universe borrows a song from J.J, Cale to give a shout out for the welcomed arrival of “Crazy Mama”.
