About this product
Amor de Días is the long-term collaboration between Alasdair MacLean (The Clientele) and Lupe Núñez-Fernández (Pipas). While their debut album Street of the Love of Days took three years to make, The House at Sea was recorded and mixed in only nine days. The fast pace of the sessions resulted in a rawer, more urgent album, featuring a rhythm section of James Hornsey and Howard Monk, both formerly of The Clientele. The House at Sea is a snapshot of a year's songs written in London and Madrid. There are pop songs, delirious dream accounts, strange lyrical puzzles, and stories from the city and the suburbs. The theme of the sea threads it's way throughout the record along with a gentle sense of drifting and departure, of being lost, of saudade-a sadness at lost things.

Vinyl LP pressing. On No Keys, Dommengang maintain the classic rock aesthetics and abandon of previous releases with a darker edge colored by personal losses. For guitarist Dan Sig Wilson, bassist Brian Markham, and drummer Adam Bulgasem, making music together became a therapeutic communion. No Keys captures the energy of that through dynamic blues-inflected rock while their lyrics grapple with anxieties both personal and global. No Keys was recorded with guitarist and engineer Tim Green (Joanna Newsom, Howlin Rain, Sleepy Sun, Fresh and Onlys, Golden Void) who also contributed guitar to track Blues Rot.. The albums emotional layers are mirrored in it's robust production. Dommengang recorded live with minimal overdubs, preferring to experiment further with effects and instrumentation in the mixing stages in order to maintain the records spontaneous force. Skittering reverb and echoes lends Sigs guitar solos a cosmic quality, while rippling distortion add depth and weight to Markham and Bulgasems hypnotic grooves. Guest vocals from Camilla Saufly-Mitchell (Golden Void) on Jerusalem Cricket add a perfect counterpoint to Markhams cries of No keys, while Adam Parks of Timber Rattle added buzzing organ overtones to album closer Happy Death (Her Blues II). Dommengang's No Keys harnesses musics primeval power to provide respite and . Moving fluidly from muscular riffing to scorched-earth dirge to sweeping ballads, the album is a potent soundtrack to a personal journey of healing - or to your next road trip.

Originally released in 1975 this is the second album that David Crosby and Graham Nash recorded together, coming after the first CSN&Y reunion tour. Crosby & Nash always had the virtue of bringing out the best in each other, and that is the case here. Their 2-part harmonies work wonderfully, from the opening track InchCarry MeInch to InchHomeward Through the HazeInch and InchNaked in the RainInch. There are also background vocals from James Taylor Carole King and Jackson Browne.
