Almost perversely skilled in the
Jansch-ian school of acoustic guitar picking,
Mike Wexler snake-charmed the Brooklyn underground in the mid-2000s with his free-form songs and druidic
Robyn Hitchcock voice. A startlingly affecting and spare debut released on I and Ear Records in 2005 immediately placed
Wexler far above his dronier freak-folk peers. He pursued more expansive territory with full band instrumentation and captivating arrangements on
Sun Wheel, the elliptical 2007 release on Amish Records.
Wexler returned in 2012 with
Dispossession. His first recording for Mexican Summer,
Dispossession was the result of over two years of intermittent recording, an eerily beautiful sound world featuring guest appearances from members of
White Magic and
the Occasion as well as a host of N.Y.C. improvisers. ~ Fred Thomas
