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

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

What in the Natural World is really nice!

Isn't it gorgeous?! I'm a sucker for that open, ringing Tele sound.

Speaking of gorgeous, the Gendron album is a stunner.

the band global and i are in got to open for william tyler and marisa anderson last night in st. paul.

what an amazing show, you must go see them. did the excellent new duo album and also a cool arrangement/melody of dvorak/stephen foster melodies

Congrats that's so cool!

yeah was an honor, and they were super nice and cool to us (not unexpected but still always nice when it's people you admire)

near as I can tell, William T. is one of the nicest dudes out there doin' it.

Marisa is the best as well, having met her several times. great people.

They were both really nice and polite with the sound guy and everyone that worked there which is a big tell on what a person is like imo

extremely otm

That's so cool. Congrats!

V cool! Does your band have anything recorded?

Not really anything that's ready at this point, we did some multitrack recording in the basement pre COVID but haven't been mastered

this show was recorded on reel to reel but not digitized yet

This was p cool:

i missed her live in my area a few weeks back and now i wish i hadn't.

i liked but didn't love the album, but that video was lovely and i want to support her regardless of how much i like the music. (plus, i think it's growing on me. or maybe i'm just fuckin' stressed and need it right now.)

Hey we were just talking about this guy

https://pitchfork.com/news/jake-xerxes-fussell-announces-album-shares-new-song-love-farewell-listen/

This was shared on Reddit within the past day or so:

Jack Rose - Live at Routure, Portland, OR (2007)

It looks like the label/mastering studio Sound-O-Mat is going to also be reissuing two other Jack recordings that have been listed on Discogs for years but never really saw a pressing of more than a dozen or so CDRs at the time of release. This includes the 2001 "Portland, OR" CDR that has been mis-titled on Wiki and elsewhere as "Hung Far Low", as well as the 2003 Ironto, VA CDR. Gonna follow their IG @sound_o_mat to keep up with what's to come.

And by "reissuing", Sound-O-Mat means that they'll be put up as a free download, like the Routure recording above.

Hey everyone, hope all is well out there. Here is something I came across late last night, while stressed out as ever. It's not strictly in the soli guitar canon but rather rooted in our shared collective side quest for all things acoustic drone with rural tendencies. The sort of band that would share a bill with a late aughts solo guitar player. It's a New England type record, both physically and sonically, and in the vein of the kind of stuff I fell in love with over ten years ago. It's great stuff, and maintains the idea that you can still turn out unique work within this area. The best music is new music, as always.

Hi Neal, plz check the Brightblack Morning Light thread :)

This is lovely, Neal Cassady, thanks for the heads-up. Reminds me of Scott Tuma (catnip to me, basically) and the Dead Tongues record from a couple of years back, albeit at about three steps of abstraction. Not surprised to see Andrew Weathers' name in the small print.
