Western psychedelic auteur builds his work from one moment, an initial spark, that must fit a certain criteria: it must give him
goosebumps. If that sensation arrives, Blackwell will pursue the idea relentlessly until he has a new song; if not, he moves onto the
next moment, constantly looking for the perfect molecule of a song. On his sixth Night Beats album, 'Rajan', the songwriter is at his
strongest, creating works that shine with captivating melodies and hypnotic rhythms, but are underscored by subtle choices of
craftsmanship that can only be achieved after countless hours in the studio. Blackwell creates a work that lands somewhere between
Spaghetti Western film score and psych-pop opus, a career-defining album that reveals much about Danny Lee Blackwell’s artistic
philosophy while keeping that ever crucial air of mystery intact. Tracklist: 1) Hot Ghee 2) Blue 3) Nightmare 4) Motion Picture 5)
