You can see why John Harrison and Ben Felton were drawn together: They’re both seasoned in the local guitar-rockย scene, and they’ve both been probing more abstractย realms in their recent solo work.

After a long stint fronting Chapel Hill indie-rock torchbearersย North Elementary, Harrison is cultivating gentle pastoral psychedelia as jphono1, while Felton has followed his time in the dearly departed Durham dance-punk band Jett Rink by building ambient guitar edifices asย Blood Revenge.

Their new duo project, Tacoma Park, combines their abstract impulses in a style you might call homespun monumental, with heavily processed guitars and richly texturedย synths combining into a Southeastern American take on a certain German tradition of droning, pulsating, landscape-traveling electronic music. Live, the duo augments the music with videos of the imagesโ€”forests and fields, highways and runwaysโ€”that it so readily suggests.
