Artist:	LABRADFORD
Title:	Prazision LP
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 001CD

"The debut album from Labradford, as well as the premier Kranky release, was originally issued in October 1993 to a surprising amount of acclaim as well as a fair bit of confusion. What was one to make of these beatless atmospheres cum pop songs that had very little to do with contemporary 'indie-rock'?? The album was typically lumped into such newly-minted sub-genres as 'lo-fi' and 'post-rock' even though there was no connection to any such imagined scenes. Lo-fi? You can hear Mark Nelson breathe between vocal lines, for chrissake. Must be the lack of cymbals and hi-hat that accounts for that fallacy. Post-rock? Does this catch-all phrase for disparate musical groups and sounds even imply anything concrete or encompassing? Alas, just another label that quickly became meaningless. What is clearly evident upon listening to the album anew is that this is not a dated or stale work by any means. It could just as well have been recorded in 2003, or 1983 for that matter, as in 1993. It does not contain any of the markers so typical of pop music that would place it in any time frame, no production touches or instrumental sounds that would identify it as being the product of a specific period. At the very least, Labradford created a timeless work, one that still challenges the listener today. More to the point, they created a masterwork. The album has been given a proper mastering job for the first time, and the B-side of their debut 7" single has been added that appeared as an addendum on the original release."

Artist:	JESSAMINE
Title:	Long Arm of Coincidence
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 012CD

"From beginning to finish, The Long Arm.... is a remarkable work that documents the range this quartet can cover; from Moog squiggles to blissful balladry to rhythmic tangle and stellar directed drones. The full integration of percussionist Michael Faeth into the band has resulted in a more confident and varied rhythmic base. The Long Arm... is a resolutely percussive album, inspired in part by the extended interplay of Can in their Tago Mago period. More directly, it is the result of Jessamine's commitment to live improvisation. "

Artist:	BOWERY ELECTRIC
Title:	Beat
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 014CD

Transcendent 2nd full length album for the label, recorded 6/96. "With their now familiar sense of economy apparent in the arrangements, Beat finds Bowery Electric adding layers of analog synth and sampled guitars to their 'drone n' bass' foundations, along with programmed loops and live beats; further befuddling those Luddites still wondering whether the band is rock, post rock, ambient or dance." Stolen off the internet, summing things up: "Beat is a STUNNING record. A truly seamless meeting of their dreamy glacial drift, the muscle of the first (Loop-ish) 2x7", and the overpowering dub-erotic feel of Mad Professor/Massive Attack. Organic, metallic, and icy/hot. A compendium of contradictions which is one of the sweetest listens you'll hear all year. They certainly deserve the 'drone & bass' tag -- but don't expect Jenkinson breaks. The electronic elements are kept simpler (and buried)." --G Man II.

Artist:	DOLDRUMS
Title:	Acupuncture
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 016CD

First full length following an EP on VHF by this trio. "Doldrums have carved out their own section of the neo-futurist pavilion, combining instrumental improvisation (created entirely by a bare bones lineup of two guitarists and one drummer), spatial exploration, folkish strands and textural condensation. The debut EP drew comparisons to Main, Cul de Sac, Labradford, the Dead C., Cluster and Jessamine. With the new album, listeners ought to draw more appreciation for the considerable rhythmic maneuverability Doldrums bring to the table as well as the mathematical skills they can use when the mood fits them."

Artist:	AMP
Title:	astralmoonbeamprojections
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 017CD

"Any association between the3 group Amp, its origins in Bristol, England and the various bands based in that area ought to be put aside for a moment. With their second album, Amp have moved beyond any scene identification or family tree into a realm of their own creation. Their initial singles, debut album Sirenes and collaborations with the Third Eye Foundation found Amp moving between delicate piano figures, jungle rhythmic clatter, outer limits drone and cosmic balladry. This new double album on Kranky finds Amp delving into speleological explorations, working within sound caverns that echo with bass and the distant thunder of drums."

Artist:	PHILOSOPHER'S STONE
Title:	Preparation
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 019CD

Solo recordings by Gareth Mitchell, a contributing member of the UK group Amp. "Mitchell's home recordings sound like a combination of Zoviet France, Robbie Basho and Scott Walker, with guitar-originated textures floating over percussion, loops and Mitchell's wavering voice. The soundfields he constructs with guitars and loops expand and swirl around the listener's head. Melodic vocals flutter above strings and guitars burst through pushing meters into the red. Sound is tingled, smeared and looped. Within the mass the listener can hear what sounds like the chiming of bells, gongs and faint voices."

Artist:	LOW
Title:	Songs For A Dead Pilot
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 021CD

New 36 minute six song EP from this trio from Duluth, MN. Three previous albums have been released on Vernon Yard, as well as a split single with the Dirty Three. "The careful unveiling of melody has always been Low's forte, with the new album the group adds the transformative factor that the blurring and merging of an eight track tape deck brings to the recording process. Low have retained the patient song craft, the riveting vocal interplay...and the relaxed pace that allows songs to stretch themselves out. Keyboard drone, throbbing drum patterns and waves of bass feedback are new flavors added to the mix, giving Songs For A Dead Pilot a subtle, experimental fee."

Artist:	LABRADFORD
Title:	Mi Media Narania
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 023CD

"With their fourth album, Labradford have once again broadened and varied their sound, while maintaining their distinctive identity. Mi Media Naranja adds a string section, Fender Rhodes electric piano and slide guitar to the trio's sound bank. It is the most cinematic of Labradford's recordings to date. The music alternately stretches, ripples or lofts its way past the listener as if it was coming off a screen and not through speakers. The sounds here are reminiscent of John Barry, Bill Evans and most of all, Labradford."

Artist:	WINDY & CARL
Title:	Depths
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 024CD

"Put aside whatever preconceptions you might have about Windy & Carl. Their new album for Kranky is well named: a journey into deeper and more unsettling waters than you may have come to expect from the Dearborn, Mi duo. Across two albums and a slew of singles, Windy Weber and Carl Hultgren have created some lovely, blurred melodies and extended drones. On Depths they put down layer upon layer of guitar and construct a wider and darker album than their previous releases might lead you to expect."

Artist:	PAN AMERICAN
Title:
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 025CD

"Mark Nelson has been recording and trading tapes under the name Pan American for some time now. Mark's contributions to Labradford, as the trio's guitarist and singer, may prepare the listener somewhat for the debut Pan American album. It is a resolutely rhythmic album, carrying with it traces of dub and bossa nova. A drummer plays on 2 tracks. All of the other beats you hear are samples. Tones generated from voice, guitar and electronics are maneuvered and warped across the soundfield. At times Pan American is reminiscent of the long lost Embrace the Herd album by the Gist (with the low key traces of dub rhythms) and at other times of current practitioners of minimalist techno such as Panasonic or Porter Ricks or of old school sound organizers like Zoviet France." A lo-pulse mood-enhancer and one of the finest Kranky label home-listening documents to date.

Artist:	BAILIFF, JESSICA
Title:	Even In Silence
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 026CD

Debut album from Jessica Bailiff from Toledo, OH. " Across Even In Silence extended guitar figures float over Jessica's vocals, bass, drums, samples and percussion. The album is an affecting mix of instruments and Jessica's beautiful vocals that leave trails of melody for the listener to follow. The mix of the album allows echoing piano chords, traces of bass guitar or whiffs of percussion to emerge from the clouds of guitars. A delicately balanced mix of organ lines and rhythm is placed next to Jessica's fragile vocals, followed by deep guitar drones."

Artist:	GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR
Title:	f#a#
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 027CD

Remixed/remastered reissue of this Canadian's group's debut LP-only release. "Taking the epic scope of Ennio Morricone, the artsy slash of 17 Pygmies, the desert-tones of prime Save Republic, bolster the mix with rhythmic chugalug of The Ex and add the Canadian tradition of radio drama and you begin to get a hint of what the band are up to. With twin percussionists, three guitar players, violin, cello, glockenspeil and tape loops, godspeed... can make a big rumbling sound or stretch out into delicate filigrees."

Artist:	STARS OF THE LID/JON MCCAFFERTY
Title:	Per Aspera Ad Astra
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 028CD

"The unique pairing of the tonal feedback duo Stars of the Lid and NYC minimalist line painter Jon McCafferty. McCafferty (best known for the cover art of R.E.M.'s Green album) approached Stars of the Lid in the summer of 1995. McCafferty had done a series of paintings influenced by Stars of the Lid's Music For Nitrous Oxide. After discovering the similarity in McCafferty's paintings to the colors of sound in Stars of the Lid, Adam Wiltzie contacted McCafferty and collaboration began. In an attempt to blur the distinctions between the mediums, Wiltzie has incorporated the sounds of Jon McCafferty painting in his studio into the music. In arranging this recording, the acts of the visual artist have become sound worthy -- they determine a context and become music."

Artist:	TOMORROWLAND
Title:	Sequence Of The Negative Space Changes
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 029CD

"Tomorrowland's music is the sweet sound of robots singing to themselves. The duo use guitars augmented with organs, synthesizers, percussion and audiometer to construct swirling masses of dancing colors and shapes. Sequence Of... was recorded on an 8 track deck, which allowed the band to overdub and open up a wide sound spectrum. The result is a subtle album that flows, bubbles and chirps as filtered loops and drones create an electro/organic atmosphere."

Artist:	JESSAMINE
Title:	Don't Stay Too Long
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 030CD

"From the initial tickling and teasing of a Fender Rhodes electric piano, Don't Stay Too Long announces that Jessamine have harnessed their experimental muscle to song craft. They link the instrumental forays of The Long Arm of Coincidence to the melodic invention of their singles to make a definitive statement. Dawn Smithson's crystalline vocals float over bubbling synths, trade off with Rex Ritter's voice, counter cascades of guitar and weave around Michael Faeth's superb drumming to make each song here direct and effective."

Artist:	AMP
Title:	Stenorette
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 031CD

"The third album from the English duo Amp. Richard Walker and Karine Charff have distilled the exploratory and songwriting sides of the band into a potent, accessible brew. Recorded and mixed with the help of Robert Hampson, Stenoretee marks a return to the rhythmic emphasis of the first Amp recordings, with lock stepping, stuttering and clattering percussion moving behind, around and through the music. Richard Walker composed a good deal of the music here on piano, a point of origin that is reflected in the more delicate pieces as well as in the melodies and moving sheets of sound. Focal points of sound Stenorette shift from the grooves to looped drones to smears of guitar and finally to Karine Charff's seductive vocals. Amp have made a recording that reaches the listener on many levels, from the simple effectiveness of a beautiful tune to whirling sonic vertigo."

Artist:	PLOTKIN/MARK SPYBEY, JAMES
Title:	A Peripheral Blur
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 032CD

"The five pieces includes on this release were made primarily through the use of processed electric guitars and acoustic instruments. Music that requires active participation by listeners. Music that seeks to utilize repetitive structures with occasional harmonic references. Central to Spybey's and Plotkin's collective approach is their preference for improvisation. They are both enthusiastic collaborators with a wide variety of people. Both have preferentially abandoned the need to orchestrate live concerts, preferring to play unrehearsed and raw, often meeting 'band' members for the first time on stage. A Peripheral Blur was created through the recording of first take improvisations which were carefully arranged by the duo. Spybey sent tapes of his work to Plotkin, who added to and then remixed the composites to reveal a whole which the duo feel is indicative of their current concerns."

Artist:	MONTGOMERY/CHRIS HEAPHY, ROY
Title:	True
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 033CD

"Roy Montgomery has a well-deserved reputation for crafting music that evokes images of place and time. The music on True was composed to run continuously as the undercurrent to a play of the same title written by Stuart McKenzie and performed in New Zealand in 1996 and 1997. Roy recorded most of the music at home while tracks 4-7 are studio improvisations done with his partner in Dissolve, Chris Heaphy. True matches the introspective, unfolding melodies of Montgomery's solo work with the stark, edgy guitar interplay displayed on the first Dissolve album."

Artist:	GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR
Title:	Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 034CD

"Presenting 2 new pieces from the Montreal collective. Consider Slow Riot... a travelogue of sorts; across the expanses of North America or inner landscapes not so easily charted. The sonic crests and swells that this nine member band achieves is apt reminder of the physicality godspeed you black emperor! works with. Three guitars, two bassists, two drummers and a string section coordinate together with a nimbleness that defies the expectations you might have of a nine piece band. Add field recordings and you have an unparalleled listening experience."

Artist:	PLOTKIN/BRENT GUTZEIT, JAMES
Title:	Mosquito Dream
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 036CD

"James Plotkin and Brent Gutzeit met in Japan in 1994. Plotkin was touring with Scorn, Gutzeit was living in Tokyo. They began a collaborative project. Plotkin recorded a guitar track. Gutzeit destroyed it and rebuilt it. Gutzeit used handmade instruments (an upright 18 string steel 'bass' strung with piano wire and a 3 string instrument strung with 100 foot piano wires), boom box, stereo and four track tape deck to create 5 different tracks. Plotkin remixed those tracks and sent Gutzeit 40 minutes of music. Each remix of became Mosquito Dream took a year to complete. Mosquito Dream is expansive yet attentive to details, reverberant but granular."

Artist:	LABRADFORD
Title:	E Luxo so
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 037CD

"Soft-focused, haunting and beautiful, this is the frontline of guitar-based modern American music.' It's hard to improve on this description of the music of Labradford written by Dave Howell in Obsessive Eye fanzine. Labradford have, over the course of four albums, constantly expanded their sound. With their fifth studio recording, E luxo so, the trio have done it again...utilizing a string section, dulcimer, tape loops that stretched around a room as well as integrating digital technology via samplers. The result of these efforts are six songs that combine organic and electronic elements into a seamless whole. Labradford leads the listener to fill the gaps in their music. They do more than create an atmosphere, Labradford take the listener across a descriptive landscape in which process is just as important as product."

Artist:	BAILIFF, JESSICA
Title:	Hour of the Trace
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 038CD

"With her second album Jessica Bailiff has expanded and defined the ravishing sound that typified Even In Silence. Hour of the Trace can entrance with Bailiff's delicate and alluring vocals, overwhelm with waves of guitar feedback, stumble along in molasses slow rhythms, evoke country gatherings around the pump organ, or puzzle with a clackety-clack that sounds like an old kinetoscope. It is not only an incredible personal statement from Jessica Bailiff but a work that invites complete immersion. Unlike so many post-rockers content to coast on a few effects pedals, Jessica Bailiff combines serious sonic research with songwriting. It's the familiar aspects of the pop song and Jessica's beautiful vocals that lure the listener in."

Artist:	PHILOSOPHER'S STONE
Title:	Apparatus
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 039CD

"The materials used on this recording were made from the sampling of Gareth Mitchell's own sounds -- derived mainly from electric guitar -- which were then processed and reprocessed, edited and re-edited over a 9 month recording period. Each sound was chosen individually for its own specific identity. Compositions stemmed from what these sounds gradually suggested. The pieces demanded time to gestate, then to metamorphose (often several times) before finally revealing their form. Apparatus is designed with many carefully placed details. Those details form part of equally considered structures. It is hoped that the listener may be drawn into the music, whether investigating its minutiae or experiencing a more overall, visceral impression. Two years after the release of the debut Philosopher's Stone album, Gareth Mitchell has made an entirely different second album utilizing the capacities of digital sampling and editing. Apparatus may have familiar elements from Preparation like looping sounds and outbursts of static, but the second Philosopher's Stone album is a departure. Gareth Mitchell has crafted an album that will leave you puzzled but delighted, curious enough to lean in for closer listens."

Artist:	DOLDRUMS
Title:	Desk Trickery
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 040CD

"The title refers to the computer technology applied to the mixing process. There's a great deal of computer-mutated guitar damage going on. You may think it's sampling, looping, sequencing, breakbeats, or the like, but it's electric guitar sounds transformed via silicon chips. There are also some wah-wah jams. Of the seven tracks, guitarist Bill Kellum sings on two. Lots of folks talk about mixing instrumental improvisation and the transformative capacity of digital technology -- Doldrums actually do it. They've dragged the swollen corpse of prog rock straight into the future, and brought along some mountain boogie too. No clinical demonstrations of instrumental technique or digital editing will be found on Desk Trickery, just a commitment to kick it out."

Artist:	PAN AMERICAN
Title:	360 Business/360 Bypass
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 041CD

"The second recording Mark Nelson has made under the Pan American imprint continues and expands the rhythmic intricacies of its forbearer as new instrumental and melodic textures are added to the mix. Like Pan American, 360 Business/360 Bypass was recorded by Mark Nelson at his home studio. Special guests Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker of Low add vocals, cornetist Rob Mazurek from the Chicago Underground Duo/Trio contributes some distinctly Cherryesque horn solos, and the entire album was mixed digitally with the aid of Casey Rise, the designer at Classics, Chicago. Rhythms trace and underpin vaporous melodies, or disappear altogether. Pan American balances atmospheric dread with hints of dub, funk and bossa nova as few artists can, hinting at a whiff of Studio One while utilizing digital technologies."

Artist:	FONTANELLE
Title:
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 042CD

"This all instrumental project features the talents of Andy Brown and Rex Ritter of the late, great Jessamine. Fontelle extends and develops the sound of the last Jessamine album, Don't Stay Too Long, taking the bubbling electric piano and synthesizers of that album into even more complex patterns. Guitars and keyboards repeat looping, Reichian melodic lines over drums that can click into Can-type patterns of shift into a funky lope. Melody and rhythm weave, bob and play off each other subtly."

Artist:	GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR
Title:	Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 043CD

"Appropriately titled in Franglais, Lift... was recorded at Chemical Sounds in Toronto, with 4 track snippets and field recordings added in Montreal. After months of touring, the band is at the peak of its powers. They've spread an audio net out across the continent, recording the static on the radio, the random airwave proselytizing, and the corporate spokesvoice of the service station that are the companions of the long distance driver. Whether it's rickety piano melody, the gentle foreplay of strings, the roil of guitars and drums, or a reminiscence about sleeping on the beach at Coney Island, Godspeed You Black Emperor work on the smallest and grandest of scales (often simultaneously). Nearly two years after the recording of Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada, the band's studio skills have sharpened, bringing the guitars to a howl and the drums to a rumble. The two CDs work well as discrete units or as one extended work."

Artist:	AIX EM KLEMM
Title:
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 044CD

"Aix Em Klemm is Adam Wiltzie and Bobby Donne. It is pronounced 'ex em clem'. These are songs. Stretched out at times, sometimes with fragmented pieces of song structure carefully placed inside. Present are slowly developing melodies that still manage to hook your ears. The guitar-based clouds of Stars Of The Lid are here, as well as the clanks of Bobby Donne's bass, augmented by a deft mixture of samples and keyboards. And Adam Wiltzie sings. The measure of any collaboration is the extent to which it exceeds the sum of its parts. Aix Em Klemm is more than a combination of one part Labradford and one part Stars Of The Lid. The attention the musicians paid to range and detail is reflected in the rewards the listener receives."

Artist:	LOW
Title:	Things We Lost In The Fire
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 046CD

"It's the new Low album, what more do you need to know? The trio have succeeded in topping Secret Name, Things We Lost In The Fire has songs that are lush ('In Metal') and songs that are naked ('Whitetail') and adds a layer of fuzz and distortion ('Dinosaur Act'). Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker's voices remain at the center of Low's music, Zak Sally's bass anchors the whole with carefully placed pauses making every second count. After five albums Low have moved beyond tags like 'slowcore', pace is not nearly as important now as placement."

Artist:	LABRADFORD
Title:	fixed::context
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 047CD

"To record their sixth album, the members of Labradford met in Chicago to work with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in June 1999. fixed::context finds the trio stripping off the string trios of the last two albums and working with interlocking sound sources and modifiers; Carter Brown's vintage synthesizers, organs and electric piano, the distinctive Duane Eddy plays Satie guitar of Mark Nelson and Bobby Donne's four and six string basses. Beginning with the 16 minute 'Twenty', Labdradford demonstrate grasp of the dialectic between organic sound sources, digital processing and composition. The guitar duet 'Up To Pizmo' shows a refocusing on basic elements like melody and twang while samples pulse below and keyboards waft above."

Artist:	LOSCIL
Title:	Triple Point
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 049CD

"Scott Morgan records and performs under the name loscil. Morgan uses sampler, synths, fx, and a healthy dose of computer programming to create loscil music. The entire album is based on the concepts of thermodynamics; the exchange of energy, heat, the transformation of liquids into solids and so forth. It is conceptually a fake scientific document. The fluctuating tones and pulses reminded us of long time personal favorites Cluster as well as newfangled electronic artists like Gas and Monolake. Morgan points to predecessors like Hugh Lecain, Henry Mancini, Gavin Bryars and Raymond Scott as influences, explaining both the texture and melodic sense at play."

Artist:	STARS OF THE LID
Title:	The Tired Sounds Of Stars Of The Lid
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	2CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 050CD

"Are there other earthling-conjured soundworks rivaling the majesty of Henry Flynt's minimalist hillbilly fiddle fantasias or the heavens-rending power of Messiaen's works for organ? Undoubtedly, else why bother listening. But the only thing speaking at us right now from these charmed regions are the celestial airs of these Stars of the Lid. Alternately lulling and wielding a potency that wholly escapes 'experimental' musics, SOTL bring big, whomping chunks of sonic firmament with a sustaining, life-affirming sweep. For the most part the latest SOTL missive offers sound sources which refuse to readily reveal themselves. Treated strings, organ or backwards tubular bell runs -- it's simply a sublime chorus of instrument voices, irresistible as the undertow. Also gurgling up in the mix are whimpering pups, shuffling feet, Dictaphone-preserved foreign lecture hall blather, a city bus shouldering to an unsteady stop -- common enough stuff, but rendered here as the sounds of civilization heard distantly, the human receiver filtering everything through a palpable dis-ease that bespeaks a Higher yearning." -- Dean Blackwood

Artist:	LOW
Title:	Trust
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 052CD

"Trust was recorded with Tom Herbert at 3rd Ear Studios in Minneapolis, and mixed in London by Tchad Blake (Latin Playboys, Lisa Germano, Pearl Jam). Guest vocals are contributed by Gerry Beckley of 70s soft-rock giants America on 'It's In The Drugs' and 'La La La Song'. Marc Gartman plays banjo on 'It's In The Drugs.' Blake's presence is immediately apparent with the bells, whistling and echoing drums on '(That's How You Sing) Amazing Grace.' Trust is the most assertive and expansive Low album yet, and loaded with meaningful sonic details. This record grazes you with a brick then knocks you over with a feather."
