Brad Frye is known as the owner of Desert Records, founder of Red Mesa, and half of the duo Droni Eye Omi.
In the spring of 2025, Brad Frye set out to self-record his first solo album.
Armed with a Reverend baritone guitar, a Fender Champ tube amp, a solar powered generator, and a pedal board, Frye hiked out to remote locations around Albuquerque, NM.
Frye set up a Zoom H6 recorder to capture the ambient natural sounds of the New Mexican landscape. Birds, trains, rivers, wind, insects, and animals are heard throughout the songs.
Drone meets spaghetti western.
Partially composed, but mostly improvised, this is hypnotic and mesmeric instrumental electric guitar music.
100% recorded outside in the high desert….
…A love letter to New Mexico.
