David Lord — Way Over the Rainbow
Release date: 12/12/2025
With the first release following his four album Forest Standards series, Lord shifts the focus of his Extended Lydian Polychordal System to the sky. High strung and nylon string guitars imagine rainbows as dimensional portals used by butterflies as they travel between worlds. Way Over the Rainbow features contributions from Charles Rumback on percussion, Dale Black on double bass, Jeff Paker on electric guitar and Sam Hake on vibraphone.
