Frunk29 - Drifting Horses (2024)

Marat Shainsky aka Frunk29’s third album of cyclical six-string shapes for NNF further threads his needle of treated guitar, metronomic rhythm, and slipstream electronics – this time into a 12-track suite inspired by “the free energy of nature:” Drifting Horses. Recorded across 2023 at home, the songs conjure moods of open plains, big skies, and endless journeys, plucked and strummed through webs of kaleidoscopic FX. Patterns ripple and reverberate, lifting into swells of melody, gold dust, and drift.

There’s an ease to Shainsky’s style, born of daily playing and discovery, limber navigations with familiar tools, echoing in his head on long forest walks with his dog. Music of vignettes and vistas, glimpses and memories, spilling from the source to somewhere beyond tomorrow.
