- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Glitterhouse Records will release the "dirtmusic" album. About a year ago the
idea of making an album of stripped back semi-acoustic songs was beckoning me
so I talked to my friends Chris Eckman and Chris Brokaw about it and although
we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into, we decided to let it
happen. We wrote individually and met up last european spring to rehearse a
few days in Ljubljana, play some shows around central Europe and generally
let the dirtmusic thing breathe a little. Following that brief spin, we
recorded this album in a fine analogue studio near Prague and its these
sessions that make up the long player coming out now. There are three song
writers here coming from different places and so there's a tension pulling
in different directions but basically its about voices, stories, guitars,
harmoniums, atmospheres. Although the disc is predominantly desolate there
are some strange detours here and quite probably it's not what you expected
- which is how it should be. We're getting together in January to take a trip
to Mali, Africa and play live at the Festival au Desert near Timbuktu where
the desert tribes meet once a year for a weekend of open air music, presided
over by the presence of the late, great Ali Farka Toure. This adventure may
well transform the future dirtmusic experiment completely - but in the
meantime, we propose this document of a debut album...
