“What I’m going through is hard to describe,” Dan Knishkowy sings near the end of his kaleidoscopic new album, Watch the Sunflowers. Recording as Adeline Hotel, the songwriter, guitarist, and Ruination Record Co. label head has made an art of complicated feelings, whether zooming in so closely that he can describe each individual thread or panning out until the view becomes psychedelic and strange. At a prolific pace, he has accompanied these observations with music that’s just as creatively restless. On one record, he is a solo guitarist improvising in a quiet room; on the next, he’s a piano balladeer backed by strings. He may front a rock band that draws inspiration from Neil Young at his most ragged and Richard Thompson at his most stately; on another, he may blend into the autumnal hush of a complex jazz group.
As is often the case with Adeline Hotel, the vision is fully realized with the enrapturing sound of the music: another distinct entry in a discography that is growing more complex and textured with each new entry. . “Light illuminates the dust between our lives, some things take a little while,” he sings in the opening “Dreaming,” as if narrating his own creative process. “I was free again if only for a moment.” On Watch the Sunflowers, a moment is all it takes to see things clearly.
