Uno Loop presents the first-ever licensed reissue of Phil Yost's 'Bent City' (1967), a rare Takoma Records title and a landmark of jazz-folk-psych experimentation. Long out of print, 'Bent City' has gained strong early support with airplay on BBC Radio, Worldwide FM, KCRW, and WFMU, alongside praise from Bandcamp Daily and Aquarium Drunkard. Yost's cult following - particularly within spiritual jazz, American Primitive, and experimental ambient and folk communities - positions this reissue as a high-interest archival title with strong cross-genre appeal.This edition is fully authorized by the Phil Yost Estate and Concord Records and pressed in a limited run, packaged with an 8-page archival booklet featuring previously unseen photographs, biographical notes, and original research on the enigmatic Bay Area musician. 'Bent City' is the first release in a broader, multi-title restoration of Yost's catalog, with three additional albums to follow (at minimum), including 'Fog-Hat Ramble' (1968), 'Touchwood's Dream' (1970), and Yost's unreleased 'Sunflower Sojourn'. With growing press attention, renewed visibility among collectors, and it's unique place in Takoma and outsider jazz-adjacent history, 'Bent City' is a standout for those interested in jazz, experimental, ambient, and private-press reissues.________________________________________'Long before 'ambient jazz' had a name, Yost quietly created one of the genre's most distinctive works. At a time when spiritual jazz was finding it's voice in the towering figures of Coltrane and Sanders, 'Bent City' took a different path by turning inward. Rather than trying to summon the cosmos or channel divinity, it tunes into sounds far more ephemeral and terrestrial: birdsong, distant clatter, and vocalizations evoking the feeling of being lost in a city on an empty, hazy night.' Julianne Wilson - Bandcamp ________________________________________'Bent City' is a spectral album unfolding a multi-tracked mirror house of sonic fantasias, with each wondrously bizarre corridor becoming an entire dimension unto itself. It's a mesmerizing work of 'sound-on-sound' composition, Yost's intricate method of weaving home-recorded tape loops together, which allowed him a canvas for improvisation a la Sandy Bull, using 'various combinations of soprano saxophone, flute, electric guitar, bass, maracas and tambourine.' Jarrod Annis - Aquarium Drunkard Tracklisting:A1. Ellipse for Bluejay (3:44)A2. Solace Stone Somewhere (6:11)A3. Bent City I (3:14)A4. Ethan Dreams Two People (4:37)A5. Ever Surprised Blue Eyes (4:09)B1. Bent City II (3:13)B2. Vision at 1000 Centigrade (11:46)B3. Lizard-Watcher's Theme (3:46)B4. Wave Your Moonlight Hat for the Snowfall Train (3:09)
