Guy Blakeslee

Leaving Records and 2220 celebrate the release of Guy Blakeslee's latest album *Extravision*, with a full concert and a solo set by Lael Neale.

After a limited self-release in 2022, *Extravision*, the deeply therapeutic musico-psychonautic offering from experimental guitarist Guy Blakeslee has received the Leaving Records “all genre” re-release treatment (dropping on October 18), with the understanding that more listeners should hear with this vulnerable and graceful document. The record is, in a word, a balm. Like a window flung open on a sweltering day, *Extravision* occasions the sudden awareness of space, of calm, of context, of possibility. The record also catalogs a musician’s search for meaning and healing in the wake of catastrophe.

"Healing music, New Age tape music, ambient soundscapes, Satie on acid, music for psychedelic therapy, extraterrestrial film scores … call it what you will; Blakeslee considers it “channeled material” sent through him from other, parallel dimensions.

"His allegiance isn’t to genre but to the pursuit of artistic liberation through psychedelia" - the *New Yorker*, on Guy Blakeslee

"With a celestial voice stripped of any artifice, Lael Neale skillfully blends romance and the banality of life with brilliant songs of drama and humor.” - *Les Inrocks*
