Chuck Johnson: Sun Glories
Briefly

In 'Sun Glories,' Chuck Johnson reshapes the pedal steel guitar's identity, choosing to explore ambient soundscapes rather than conforming to traditional country associations.
'Teleos' starts with pedalboard experimentation, evolving into a vibrant post-rock anthem, showcasing the uplifting potential of Johnson's unique sound.
'Broken Spectre' parallels 'Teleos' in its structure, transitioning from introspective sound to a climactic finish, reflecting Johnson's innovative approach to ambient music.
Johnson's work mirrors that of Polmo Polpo, exhibiting a willingness to defy conventional uses of the pedal steel guitar within modern ambient genres.
