pilgrimjake It's with unadulterated delight to have an expanded version of this album reissued. P.G. Six was one of the highlights in the psych folk renaissance of the mid 2000's. It still fills my heart with longing, sadness and hope today.

about

Amish Records is happy to announce an expanded, gatefold 2XLP version of P.G. Six's second album, 'The Well of Memory, originally released in 2004. This 2025 expanded edition has beautiful new artwork, reimagined by Meredyth Sparks and comes with a bonus LP entitled 'Lost and Live". The LP includes six previously unreleased songs from 'The Well of Memory' sessions and a handful of live versions of songs from the album.

Continuing many of the themes introduced on 'Parlor Tricks and Porch Favorites', PG Six's well-received first record, 'The Well Of Memory' made further nods towards 60's folk artists like Bert Jansch, Pentangle, Incredible String Band, and John Fahey, while also fitting in with contemporary musicians like New York psych folk poster-boy Devendra Banhardt, Anglo-folk traditionalist Alasdair Roberts, and West Coast psych guitarist Ben Chasny of Six Organs of Admittance. Pat's lyrics draw on narrative force, spinning mythology in abstract patterns that stretch moments of clarity between dreamlike sequences. His music, composed away from the bustle of the city in upstate New York, breathes as solemn spirituals.

The Wire’s 50 Records of the Year 2004

"As mesmerizing as ‘Parlor Tricks’ is, “The Well of Memory” is even stronger, a stunning seamless stream of shining tunes, dark hymns and layered drones” - The Wire

‘The Well of Memory’ is a beautiful and open document, full of gorgeous songs and lamp-lit instrumentals, effortlessly easing proto-minimalist method into a folk music framework. It’s also a cipher appearing from nowhere, another mysterious shot in the arm. Folk music captured alive and breathing, without a trace of dogmatic outsider discourse. - Dusted Magazine
