Biography

Ben Chasny's Six Organs of Admittance is one the most revered ensembles in the underground avant-garde folk movement of the early 2000s. Chasny's combination of deft finger-picking in the mold of John Fahey and Leo Kottke, heady psychedelic drones, and mantra-like vocals became one the finest musical examples of what some had dubbed the "new weird America." In 2003 Chasny became a full-time member of heavy San Francisco space rockers Comets on Fire. The prolific Chasny released SUN AWAKENS in 2006 under the Six Organs moniker in addition to performing and recording with, among others, Comets on Fire, Howlin Rain, and Current 93.
