Der mysteriöse Art Feynman entzieht sich jeder Kategorisierung, sein Album ist ein genialer Mix aus Krautrock, Afrobeat, Psych-Rock und munterer Elektronik.
Blast Off Through the Wicker documents Art Feynman looking for life in the lifeless, questioning what it means to be living. There is a calm, disciplined pocket to be felt in everything Feynman does; krautrock slink, staccato bounce, and pentatonic bursts of Nigerian Highlife fuzz pour on the temporal canvas with unquestionable ease, never falling in the wrong place.
Even more admirable is, that his »canvas« is a four-track tape recorder, and that Blast Off features no loops or drum machines despite its aesthetically faithful motorik and afrobeat underpinnings. Nowhere is this fact more surprising than on album standout »Slow Down« which pulses along infectiously with a crunchy backbeat, and deftly arpeggiating bass lines that are so locked-in that it would be hard to fault an unknowing ear for assuming the whole thing is tediously programmed.
There are gentler sides to Blast Off that conjure the spacey tenderness of Arthur Russell inventively and respectfully, without adopting their muse's palette wholesale. In this regard Blast Off is an endearing collection of songs that capture the ear with warm-yet-clear cassette aesthetics and spot-on musicianship, both of which form an angle that points lovingly to Feynman's deep and varied influences. Make no mistake – this one truly is alive.

Rezensionen
»Art Feynman – ein Name wie ausgedacht und doch passend. Denn was der Kalifornier, der sein Gesicht lieber verbirgt, mit einem Vier-Spur-Rekorder in seinem Wohnzimmer aufgenommen hat, ist große Kunst.« (VISIONS)»Mal irrlichtert seine verhallte Stimme durch taumelnde Gitarrenriffs, mal schmiegt sie sich an vertrackt-synkopische Grooves. Dazwischen entsteht luftiger Psych-Pop, von gleißender Sonne durchflutet wie das Gebäude, das das Albumcover ziert.« (SPEX)
»Ein sanfter, psychedelischer Vibe durchzieht das Debüt des Kaliforniers, dessen Songs meist von repetitiven Kraut- und Afrobeat-Rhythmen getragen werden und trotz aller Sonnigkeit alternativlos auf die Tanzfläche ziehen. Arthur Russell poppt immer wieder als Referenz auf, und das ist nicht zu hoch gegriffen, denn Feynman bekommt in seinen zehn Tracks sogar dessen souligen Glam hin. Sehr reichhaltig und sogar noch besser.« (INTRO)
