Ben Shepards latest effort is an exercise in contrast,
spanning territories alien and natural, both stark and
verdant. Assembled in Brooklyn and San Francisco,
the records lush instrumentation surrounds an
elegiac cast of supporting vocalists, contributed by
members of M83, Farallons, and Gregor Samsa.
Mercury Revs Jeff Mercel provides drums, with
Juilliard master violinist Sarah Koenig-Plonskier
comprising the overdubbed string section. A colorful
collage of texture and shape, The Vision is intricate,
woven together like a melodic tapestry. The songs
evolve over time, revealing new rooms with
meticulous landscapes.
