As Plankton Wat, Dewey Mahood uses his considerable guitar prowess to deliver songs on Future Times that encompass both the wild, seeking energy of free-improvisation and the deliberate arrangements of more traditional composition. With his deft and stylistically varied playing Mahood escapes psychedelic tropes and chemical fueled alterations and instead celebrates an escape into the natural world. Future Times taps into psychedelia's counter-cultural heritage as music for protest, liberation and imagining new ways of being in this world.
