I wanted to share a record my close friend and I recently completed, Brundlefly and the Swede, "CABIN MUSIC".
It's a weird record, in the sense that it's an instrumental LP with 2 sides, no song breaks which we started recording in a rented cabin outside Asheville, NC in 2010. We began by tracking the main acoustic guitar tracks (in the neighborhood of John Fahey type stuff, or Gastr del Sol/Jim O'rourke's works) that over the next two years we embellished and fleshed out with all manner of instrumentation (upright bass, electric guitar, bass guitar, drum kits, synths, violins, flutes, bass clarinets and so on). It ended up being a pretty lively record that moves about consistently from sound to sound, but we feel works as a unified whole. Fans of some of the work Tortoise in the 90's, might hear some something familiar in there, and there is some somewhat shameless aping of Close to the Edge era Yes thrown about with reckless abandon!
We are expecting the vinyl to be in (180g limited pressing) this next week, and it's available to pre-order. It was recorded by ourselves, and mastered by Mr. Carl Saff.
As we are not a live band (part of what made the record special to us was the fact that the two of us live on separate coasts, and had not played together in 10 years prior to these sessions), we are hoping to share with as many people as possible as we can't play it live...
So please have a listen, won't you?
