This is the debut full-length from Julian Lynch, who to  date is probably best known for a split 7" with Matthew Mondanile of  Real Estate, Ducktails and Predator Vision fame.  The two are childhood  pals and frequent collaborators, but here Lynch steps out of the shadows  and into the lo-fi limelight.  The album stitches together fourtrack  recordings and various fragmentary, cross-cultural elements into a fluid  tapestry of psychedelic doodles and hazy songs driven by keyboards and  guitar.  Lynch is a graduate student in ethnomusicology, having  previously cultivated an interest in Indian and South Asian musics  whilst working for Smithsonian Folkways Recordings.  Orange You Glad  combines its influences in such a fashion as they seem to dissolve into a  cassette-bound ambience though, and often you won't necessarily know  how Lynch's humble yet very beautiful melodies have come about.  Highly  recommended.
