Chris Kyle’s single “Space Flower” from his latest EP Stardust conveys a sense of infinite drift and flow with drawn out guitar work and his own hazy, slightly echoing vocals. The echoing riffs and use of musical space makes you feel like you’re hanging out there beyond the stratosphere with Jimi Hendrix and Bowie. Especially in the context of the music video in which a space bee lands on the technological space flower satellite after an astronaut observes the tranquil beauty of the earth from orbit. The languidly psychedelic song is an example of how Kyle, a guitarist in brilliantly eclectic R&B act Cautious Clay, is able to experiment outside his usual mode of songwriting with weaving together styles to create something unique and compelling and in this case playful music in which it’s easy to get lost for a few minutes.
