Album of the Week – 08/04/22

You came in search of new sounds and that’s what we’ll deliver! There are new albums from Calexico (El Mirador), Father John Misty (Chloë and the Next 20th Century) and even Kae Tempest (The Line Is A Curve). Rock God Jack White also has a new one called Fear of the Dawn.

There are even some interesting rereleases from Pavement (Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal) and Susumu Yokota (Symbol – Vinyl Reissue).

But… none of them won the top prize! From the moment this was announced, we’ve been looking forward to this one and it did not disappoint! It’s an album we’ll be listening to for many months to come. Daniel is also playing the Pepper Canister Church in a few week’s time if you’re interested…

Album of the Week – Daniel Rossen – You Belong There

“You Belong There is Daniel Rossen’s sophisticated and visceral consideration of what comes after the restless enthusiasm and public fanfare of your youth. It’s a riveting 10-song reintroduction to a voice that sounds both entirelyfamiliar and fully re-energized by the act of unfettered expression and newfound self-sovereignty. These songs explore the personally uncharted territory of adulthood, including the troubles left behind and the possibilities that wait ahead.

For nearly two decades, Rossen had been a crucial component of Grizzly Bear, whose shared harmonies and interlaced textures reimagined music of the early aughts. He is also a founding member of the acclaimed folk and electronica outfit Department of Eagles. Rossen left the close-knit nest of Brooklyn many years ago, first for an isolated patch of land in upstate New York and then for SantaFe, where he slowly built the world that is You Belong There largely in his high desert home. Rossen bought himself an upright bass (one of his instruments as a kid), along with the cello and performed almost all of the parts on the album himself, with Chris Bear of Grizzly Bear contributing as a rare guest on “Tangle.” Best known as a guitarist, Rossen took up woodwinds, too, buying several cheap student models and learning just enough to understand the rudiments.”
