Release Notes:
Groove It Out is a 6-minute dance workout that recalls ESG and 'Voodoo Ray', its
economical funk guitar lines and colourful passages unfurling over simple drum
machine beats, charting moments of joy and uncertainty; in an empty room I
groove it out'.
Following a period of contributing guitar and vocal to other albums, Campbell
returned to solo work, became a recluse, and recorded and produced the material
for her new album in her home studio, mostly using a Tascam 8-track cassette
recorder. Finding that these recordings had an intimacy and integrity of their
own, the album was essentially finished, needing only finishing touches.
This was found at a remote analogue studio in an industrial region in the
States, where Campbell got to play with an Aladdin's cave of vintage analogue
treasures.
Campbell:
"I travelled there in October '13 and again during the 'Polar Vortex' freeze
that descended on the States in January '14. Both trips were real adventures,
injecting the final phase of album making with a renewed energy.
I found it a totally sympathetic environment to be in and found a shared
aesthetic in Bill (Skibbe, co-producer); I knew he'd sensitively aid the
finishing of the songs and not impose on or disrupt their character. We'd often
dig out Youtube clips for the other to enjoy; these exchanges included
'Sharevari' at The Scene, George Clinton's 'Loopzilla', John Carpenter's
'Assault On Precinct 13' and many more."
LoneLady's new album is to be released in early 2015, details to follow.
