Two Dollar Guitar : The Wear And Tear Of Fear :
A Lover's Discourse (US,2006)**
“Though each love is experienced as unique and though the subject rejects the notion of repeating it elsewhere later on, he sometimes discovers in himself a kind of diffusion of amorous desire; he then realizes he is doomed to wander until he dies, from love to love” says the back cover.
Tim Foljahn with no doubt is a wanderer. Homeless and without ever having known a home of comfort (that creatively could develop a way of sustaining ; when being responsible for something with a different power like of a returning love, on one chosen random potential place that can develop’s life resources), for Tim, on a human level, anything to fall back upon seems to be like an undiscovered territory.
In the 5 years of the making of this fourth album, showing only little variations and while collecting layers of delicate, only slowly moving guitars (amplified, lapsteel, strummed) with moving around sounds, for real or like ghostly shadows, he himself remained stiff on one spot, dark and desolate, mournful and worn out with feelings and with energy.
At the same stagnant spot it still reveals landscapes, certain thoughts, and there is a beginning of creativity that is sustaining, as a form of love that can be loved by listeners..
