STANDING ROOM ONLY<\/p>\n
THE MOTHER HIPS
\nBased in Northern California, the Hips headed to New Mexico, spending time at Ghost Ranch before settling in at Jono Manson\u2019s Kitchen Sink studio in Sante Fe for sessions in late 2021. Self-produced, When We Disappear features nine new tracks co-written by co-founders Tim Bluhm and Greg Loiacono \u2014 collection of lit-psych rock songs Inspired by psychology and literature \u2014 as well as a raw, garagey cover of Buffy St. Marie\u2019s 1964 addiction song \u201cCodine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGreg [Loiacono, co-founder) sent me a rough demo of this song and I thought it was promising,\u201d says Hips co-founder Tim Bluhm of \u201cWhen We Disappear.\u201d \u201cWhat he was singing was place-holder gibberish, or sounds mixed with some actual lyrics, including what would become the title. I went through it and matched words to his sounds and then tweaked the words to tell a kind of impressionistic history of our adventures together. In this way I believe both Greg\u2019s and my own subconscious worlds revealed themselves. The music is simple and loose, helping with the devil-may-care attitude of the singing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as \u201cone of the Bay Area\u2019s most beloved live outfits,\u201d The Mother Hips\u2019 headline and festival performances have became the stuff of legend, finding them sharing stages with everyone from Johnny Cash and Wilco to Lucinda Williams and The Black Crowes. Rolling Stone called the band \u201cdivinely inspired,\u201d while Pitchfork praised their \u201crootsy mix of 70\u2019s rock and power pop,\u201d and The New Yorker lauded their ability to \u201csing it sweet and play it dirty.\u201d<\/p>\n
SOUNDING ARROW<\/p>\n
Veteran recording artist Scott Kinnebrew returns with SKYMAN, the newest release from his solo project, Sounding Arrow. An ode to easeful living, the soundscape of SKYMAN feels intimate, layered, and expansive.<\/p>\n
Co-produced by Gary Jules (\u201cMad World\u201d from the Donnie Darko soundtrack) and mixed by Bill Reynolds (Band of Horses, The Avett Brothers\u2019 Emotionalism), SKYMAN weaves a vivid sonic landscape rich with the textures of rock, folk, country, blues, British invasion, R&B, and pop. It\u2019s a brew that resists classification, as it lands somewhere between tradition and invention \u2014 what Kinnebrew thinks of as \u201csonic impressionism.\u201d<\/p>\n
The songs on SKYMAN are rooted in a personal narrative, but stretch far beyond autobiography, they sound like they could be telling anyone\u2019s story. From Kinnebrew: \u201cGary calls it \u2018the last great American novel\u2019, I call it cool like the rock you find on the beach that ends up on your dashboard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Produced by Scott Kinnebrew & Gary Jules Engineered by Scott Kinnebrew at Captain\u2019s Quarters, Asheville, NC & Gary Jules at Carport Recorders, Asheville, NC. Mixed by Bill Reynolds at Fleetwood Shack, Nashville, TN. Mastered by Dewey Thomas at Forest Hill Sound, Asheville, NC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
