His early discography is an unparalleled example of American Primitive, but his later albums depart strongly from that movement in search of ambient and drone-oriented experimentalism. Two of his final albums, “The Mill Pond” and “Womblife,” go as far as abandoning the language of acoustic guitar in favor of churning, feedback-heavy noise-passages.

The Sun City Girls, composed of Bishop and his brother Richard along with the late Charles Gocher, gained a considerable cult following with their prolific, eclectic output that runs the gamut from folk revival and psychedelic to noise, drone, and experimental world music. While Sublime Frequencies never released an SCG album, the parallels between the band’s evolution and the stylistic samplings of the label are abundant.The label’s mission and appeal can be described with a story about one of their finest releases...
