ILX Gonna Shine in My Backdoor Someday (new post-Fahey folk for ppl posting in Takoma/Tompkins Square threads Pt II)

wow yeah it's great. some of her other left-field moves didn't grab me, but i am way into this. not to speak for her, but based on the 1,000 roses fest, part of me imagines that she's thumbing it to the old codgers in attendance there, wonderfully recounted by UMS way back when

ugh is 'grab me' the only thing i can think of to say in lieu of 'i liked this music'

global - I've thought that several times that I think that specific day changed the trajectory of her career

when I and (our bandmate MB) went to see Itasca we were buying her record and I mentioned we had seen her there she was like "yeah that whole thing was weird"

Do you look back on it negatively? I think besides the silly Q&A drama nothing else seemed too off to me honestly.

BTW by then Sarah was already on her way departing from the tropes of that genre, exhibited by her performance at that festival (was overtly not "American Primitive" in any identifiable way).

no I had one of the best times of my life, the whole thing was great. and the general vibes were very positive. just some of those really old codgers seemed to have some axes from like 1966 to grind

but again i wasn't a woman on that particular panel, i feel like that could really sour someone on the whole thing

oh for sure, you're right, her thing was way more..free jazz? frankly, i appreciated the gesture more than the actual performance (didn't really seem to go anywhere for me, jazz is hard it turns out)

yeah her post-solo guitar stuff has struck me as cool, but not quite getting there. this new one gets there, i think.

just discovered my new favorite singer songwriter with some thread relevant content

for the past several years, i've gone to the Pickathon festival near Portland (Oregon), and one of my favorite little games to play is noting which of the artists on the bill i see at the most *other artists'* sets. (poorly worded, but you know what i mean.) a few years ago, Sarah Louise won by a landslide; i remember watching her get *deeply* into Kikagaku Moyo, Circuit des Yeux and Milo (aka RAP Ferreira), to name a few

i remember randomly finding that guy on spotify (probably how most people find him), his ouvre was singing about cleaning the toilet at the time. glad to see he's expanded his reach xp

A message to the Spotify musician The Passionate & Objective Jokerfan (aka Matt Farley)

ah should have figured there was already a thread

xp oh good I was waiting for this generation to finally produce its very own Wesley Willis

I think maybe this fits the thread, and I've been enjoying it so far on limited listening. Nice cover art too

cameron knowler is a really pretty album, reminds me a big of ambsace by elkington/salsburg

got my vinyl of the new marissa anderson/william tyler in the mail, really great they compliment each other so well. some songs are exactly what you'd expect but there are some curveballs that don't really sound like anything either has done individually.

Agreed! WFMU's Garbage Time (on Tuesdays) has been playing that a lot among other new things all in this wheelhouse & more. Have you ever listened to it? Great show.

Mine is still in the mail, I hope. So looking forward to it showing up any minute.

yeah can't wait for that anderson / tyler LP.

I've heard the new Hayden Pedigo LP (https://haydenpedigo.bandcamp.com/album/letting-go) and it's really beautiful in a mellow popol vuh kinda way.

oh and Ben Chasny's upcoming album is a welcome return to his Octavio Paz era, really nice, mostly solo acoustic (a little synthy stuff happening occasionally). https://benchasny.bandcamp.com/album/the-intimate-landscape

Whoa, ok so both of those were played on Garbage Time too... I think Hayden even came on right after Cameron.

sounds like a good show!

Wow I gotta check out that show

That it is. Minor correction, he played Ben Chasny last week. I was right about the others being back to back.

Liked the Cameron Knowler on first listen. Some of the things I sometimes want more of in this genre are stronger foregrounding of melody, variation in texture, and more extended harmony, all of which are things he provides.

Pitchfork front page today has Steve Gunn and Nathan Salsburg!

WTF? ok neat

ha, nice. that new hayden record is great — maybe one of the best *sounding* acoustic guitar records I've heard, really well recorded.

Taken me a while to get around to it but What in the Natural World by Jake Xerxes Fussell is magnificent.

yeah I love him! really engaging

I love his tone, particular the washes and runs on the high strings. I keep having to remind myself that he's Travis picking most of the time (on this album at least).

his interpretation of "jump for joy" by duke ellington is so amazing

Hell yes.

Is this the best place to talk about how good Myriam Gendron is? The new one took a few listens but it's really starting to grow on me.

And she covered Brian Eno!

Not so Deep as a Well is one of the great albums of this century

Excited to hear the new one

following, I tried once with her new one but I gotta hear that Eno cover

The first listen to the new one really caught me off guard, because Not So Deep as a Well was a record that grabbed me immediately, and I think the length and breadth of this one was a bit overwhelming at first, but there's enough interesting stuff going on that it keeps compelling me to go back to it.

What is the best way to get updates on Feeding Tube releases? "Follow" on Bandcamp? Myriam's new one was put out on tape by FT and subsequently went OOP at some point but I never got wind about this release until Marc Masters posted his review on Pitchfork. Would've been nice to grab a physical copy.

Update: nvm, it's only sold out on Myriam's bandcamp, looks like it's still avail direct (link below). Would still be nice to sign up for some kind of newsletter, can't find one atm.

i have not been able to find any reliable way to keep up with Feeding Tube stuff. i guess that's supposed to be part of the "charm"

I get weekly email release announcements?

Had never heard of Myriam until this thread last night. Super cool; thx for the recommendation ILX!

yeah i get bandcamp notices from feeding tube every time they release something

Feeding Tube is a little weird — they don't put everything up on Bandcamp (the label releases a *lot* of records), but sometimes the artists themselves will put it up elsewhere on BC.

(anyway, the new myriam gendron is indeed amazing!)

I loved Not So Deep As A Well. Excited to hear this!

A few songs in and it's completely spellbinding.

i want to know the 'story' with feeding tube, i know byron runs it, but i feel like there has to be some rich guy's passion money behind it. vinyl is already prohibitive to produce, let alone at the scale they do

it is pretty wild — basically an LP a week! I think the co-founder Ted Lee has sort of deep pockets from something, but I don't really know the details.

It def took a few spins for the new one to sink in but I played it the other night and it really clicked.

Feeding Tube deserves a Nobel Prize for doing the Spielgusher 2xlp

haha yeah

this feeding tube 2021 release fits in here, can't remember if it's been mentioned here: https://feedingtuberecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-dreaming-bridge

and similarly, the new Rolin / Powers / Gerycz is excellent: https://geryczpowersrolin.bandcamp.com/album/lamplighter

yes, big fan of the Powers/Rolin/Gerycz axis and all of their releases
