achilles botes

With his band Ghostplane Achilles has released 2 particularly well recieved albums on the Arch Hill Recordings label - the fiesty 'Panther Valley Country Club' and it's ambitious and ambient big brother 'Beneath the Sleepy Lagoon' .With Ghostplane Achilles has had the pleasure of supporting Calexico, Lambchop, Bonnie Prince Billy, David Paho, Lou Barlow and many other good folk.So what does he sound like solo ?Within the barebones framework of voice, percussive fingerstyle guitar and sparse accompaniment Achilles manages to weave a beguiling and intriguingly diverse spell . Achingly melodic verses slip unpredictably into hooky chorouses and just when you think you have a song figured out, he springs another twist or two.This is folk through a filter, music of the unexpected for people who like suprises
