“Anders Nilsson’s Äventyr, a recording of recently-composed guitar duets (in this case performed by two Anders), is a patiently unfolding wonderland of guitar possibilities. Utilizing mostly pristine guitar tones, this work often shimmers like crystal – delicate but not fragile – with the kind of “dissonance” I call “beauty”. Sonorities are masterfully combined, dynamics subtly shift as these rather episodic pieces patiently expand and explore. A kind of chamber work that manages to be both intimate and epic, revealing interior realms while still shredding just a bit… Irresistible.”
-Nels Cline

In the pieces I’ve heard from Night Guitar, Anders Nilsson has managed to find something truly original left in the much pillaged vaults of country blues guitar- something of the ghosts that have haunted it since the beginning. Think Blind Willie Johnson meets Bernard Hermann. Excellent stuff.” Marc Ribot
