Influenced by artists like Sir Richard Bishop, Robbie Basho, and John Fahey among others,*Loren Connors* has carved out his own niche in the world of experimental music. His distinctive approach to playing the guitar sets him apart from other musicians in the field.

Family Vineyard is an established music label that has been curating newfangled and archival sounds since 1999. With a motto of "Newfangled and archival sounds aged to perfection," the label prides itself on bringing unique and timeless music to its audience.

Whether it's *John Smith*'s soulful melodies or *Jane Doe*'s avant-garde compositions, listeners can expect nothing less than exceptional musical experiences from this esteemed label.

Connors is an avant-garde legend, his singular alien take on the blues is considered on par with John Fahey’s rewrite of American string music. Connors’ previous vinyl releases for Family Vineyard quickly sold out. After ten years, legendary avant guitarist Loren Connors returns to his much acclaimed and beloved The Departing of a Dream series. 

Initially based loosely as tribute to Miles Davis' masterwork "He Loved Him Madly," Connors delves further into the inspiration to explore melody as a slow-moving spectrum of shades projected against a fragile, often decaying ambiance. Volume Five continues the theme, as Connors coaxes complex blues mutations and wide swathes of distant vibrating tones - not unlike the expressionistic cry of Miles' horn. The flutter of voices and din that seep in between the sustained notes transform into a choir as only Connors can lead.
