“GUITARWORKS II” - Mortal Prophets

If last year’s GUITARWORKS felt like John Beckmann’s first steps into a strange and resonant new landscape, GUITARWORKS II feels like he’s dug deeper into the soil, brushed off the dust, and started mapping out the ruins. The Mortal Prophets’ new release is less an “album” in the conventional sense and more like a series of sonic postcards from places most people have forgotten about—or never even knew existed.
