About this product
The newest longplayer from Tio'tiá ke/Montreal staple Cedric Noel lands with a stunning sense of surety and self. Hang Time stands as a high water mark for a songwriter who's spent the past decade quietly expanding the borders of his music. Longtime fans will recognize the fluid elements of the album's open-ended rock formations reflective strumming, soaring choruses, searing guitar lines, subtle bass grooves; all occasionally dissolving into pools of pure ambience. New listeners will find surprises throughout threads of folk pop, ambient and sound collage fasten the foundations of this expressive whole. However, what's most striking on Hang Time is Noel's newfound sense of voice, both literal and metaphorical.Written primarily in 2017-18 during an intense period of self-reflection, this collection of songs finds Noel wrestling profoundly with his sense of identity, self and place. Born in Niger, adopted by Canadian and Mozambican/Belgian parents, he spent his youth moving around the globe with his adoptive, multi-racial family, eventually landing in Fredericton, Canada for university. While studying, Noel embedded himself in a predominantly white indie rock community that left him feeling, as a Black man, both seen and unseen in complicated ways; both welcome and not. This tension would follow Noel through a move to Montreal in 2016 wherein he found himself again moving within predominantly white music communities. This (dis)placement would encourage Noel to find respite in Ottawa, holed up temporarily in a family home, studying the pieces of himself and putting them to place in music.Listening to Hang Time, one can feel the tensions of this process being held and released, as if being allowed to breathe for the first time forms open and close, surfaces are seen through, feelings go supernova.

![Anjimile - You're Free to Go - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/ca50e975-bf5c-4fdb-8958-cba489594a39.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Anjimile has forged a distinctive musical path characterised by unflinching introspection and deep honesty. Giver Taker, hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the year's best albums, positioned him as a compelling voice exploring enduring themes of spirituality, identity, and liberation. With The King, Anjimile intensified his examination of Black and trans existence amid personal and societal turbulence, reaffirming his courageous commitment to navigating discomfort as a means of liberation.You're Free to Go, picks up where The King left off, but with it's hands open wide - a central question being what happens when you let go and let love in? On You're Free to Go, he learns to trust life again.The album's title symbolises Anjimile's expansive perspective on love and personal freedom, influenced profoundly by his relationship with his partner and their joyful embrace of non-monogamy. Elsewhere, You're Free to Go explores heavier, darker truths; But even in it's most searching moments, the record radiates light. Each song holds space for healing - for turning pain into something tender, communal, and free.Spirituality remains the heartbeat of Anjmile's work. InchSongwriting feels like a prayer, a plea, or a question,Inch he says. Across the album, sacredness feels alive and imperfect - a practice of breathing, wondering, forgiving. The album hums with that same sacred energy messy and full of grace.You're Free to Go is a portrait of transformation - not as a wound, but an opening. Richly textured, this collection of songs is an honest reflection of life's fluctuations. It holds space for contradiction and finds liberation in tenderness. In every note, Anjimile provides space for each listener to reflect and uncover their own truths, while gently reminding us that freedom isn't the absence of pain, but the courage to love, to ask, to keep beginning again.
![Kilfenora Fiddle Ceili Band - Irish Traditional Fiddle Music - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/92a4849c-2802-4ef5-8327-0af28f4ba855.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Originating in Ireland and Scotland, InchCeiliInch is a traditional Gaelic social gathering which usually involves playing Gaelic folk music and dancing. Before the advent of nightclubs and discos, Ceilis happened in most town and village halls on Friday or Saturday nights; a tradition that still endures. Today, Ceili bands thrive throughout Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales. The band presented on this classic album hails from Kilfenora, a small village in County Clare in Ireland. Produced by legendary Irish musician and scholar Mick Moloney, an important figure on the Dublin folk-song revival scene of the 1960's, the Kilfenora Fiddle Ceili Band album was recorded at the West County Inn, Ennis, County Clare on January 4th 1974. The masterful musicians that comprise the band are Tommy Peoples, Tom Hegarty, Michael Kelleher and Tom Ward on fiddles; Jimmy Ward on tenor banjo; Paddy 'Organ' Mullins on flute; Michael Sexton on accordion; Pat Madigan on bass; Jimmy Leyden on drums and Kitty Linnane on piano. P.J. Murrihy is featured on guitar and vocals on tracks 4 and 11. All selections newly remastered. [Note This product is an authorized, licensed CD-R and is manufactured on demand.]
