Evan Caminiti is a guitarist full of big ideas and even bigger sounds. Currently known as one-half of the San Francisco Bay area avant droners Barn Owl, Caminiti has spent a great deal of time the past few years playing and recording gorgeous solo explorations focused primarily on the guitar, but, when need be, accented by additional instrumentation. Following several prior releases, Caminiti’s abilities have been honed to the razor sharp point of his new LP, West Winds his most mature and meditative to date. West Winds is a discourse on solitude and cosmic exploration which calls to mind Roy Montgomery, Hex-era Earth and Popul Vuh.
