Ben Chasny has built up quite a catalogue--Shelter From The Ash is his ninth release since 2000, not including his louder work with psych-hurricane Comets On Fire. Over this time, Chasny has found a way to merge the 20-minute raga drones of his early music into more concise songs. Just how that merging emerges is what lends Shelter its addictively morphing qualities. Whether it's the extended marriage of airplane howls and repeated codas on "Final Wing" or the more straight-up psych-rock of the title track, Chasny guides his music with just the right balance of sober assuredness and wired curiosity.
