Scott Kelly
Spirit Bound Flesh (Neurot)
by Paul Lee
For the majority of this 35-minute disc, it’s just Scott Kelly and his distinctive raspy voice singing with his acoustic guitar. For embellishment, he adds just a touch of bass, percussion, and keyboards. All the songs on Spirit Bound Flesh are basic, with chord progressions similar to his main band, Neurosis. There isn’t a single upbeat song on Flesh, but there’s still a sense of peace and beauty throughout.
