Release Notes:
Originally coming together just to sit around and pick on their guitars, Roger
Riedlbauer (Jolie Holland, Transmission, Boxcar Saints) and Charles Sommer
(Halifax Pier) found a good thing arising out of their late night music sessions
and decided to get to work on a full-length album. You can almost hear the
creaks in the wood that surely formed the background during these late night
recording sessions. A distillation of the two friendsÆ inspirations and
interests, these songs draw equally from the absurd, the conflicted, the organic
and the derelict. The result is a heartbreaking sound that wonÆt easily leave
your head.
With an all-star ensemble of musicians who have played with the likes of Tom
Waits, Jolie Holland, Sean Hayes, Court and Spark, and John Vanderslice, The
Cannery bring us a solid debut album of melodic acoustic songs accompanied by;
Ara Anderson (trumpet), Tom Heyman (pedal steel), Jason Schwartz (upright bass),
Josh Tillinghast (drums), Alison Johnson (backup vocals), and Kristina Forester
(cello).
