Thank God for Neurosis!

On the Spring equinox, Neurosis released a new album on the streamers, titled “An Undying Love for a Burning World” with physical copies being available in May. And, boy, in this shittiest of times in which we live in, did I ever need an album like this. Hit the link for more info.

Just know that of all the artists I love, there is but a handful of them in which I buy everything they put out. Led Zeppelin has gotten most of my discretionary income in this life, but right there is also Neurosis. I ADORE this band. I won’t bore you with recounting their history and my long relationship with their music. Just go to Neurot Records and go down the rabbit hole.

Steve Von Till

Steve Von Till @Rumba Cafe in Columbus, OH 6-July 2022

I got to see Steve Von Till, best known as the guitarist and vocalist for Neurosis, do a performance of his solo music in a very intimate setting. It was wonderful! He was accompanied by some fantastic musicians including the celloist Helen Money who also opened the show. I summarize the vibe with the words “ethereal”, “organic”, “haunting” and “beautiful”. The music demanded a reverence and emotional engagement from the audience.

I’m very grateful to have been there, especially as I have missed two opportunities to see Neurosis, the last miss was due to my fathers failing health in 2019. I was determined not to miss this opportunity to see Mr. Von Till display his more contemplative side and he did not disappoint.
