David Vertesi - Cardiography - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The David - Transformations [COMPACT DISCS] date 03/15/2013

New pressing on black 140 gram vinyl. Sisters Eleanor and Bonnie Whitmore, two of roots music's most accomplished songwriter/instrumentalist/vocalists, are releasing their first album together as The Whitmore Sisters. Titled GHOST STORIES, it's inspired by the loss of family, friends, ex-boyfriends and - on the title track - people who died by police violence. Produced by Chris Masterson.

Orbiting Human Circus is the continuing evolution of the imagination of Julian Koster (Neutral Milk Hotel, The Music Tapes, Elephant 6), whose music and storytelling under this moniker have encompassed immersive theater and podcasts as well as more traditional EPs and singles. Quartet Plus Two is the group's debut album. The origins of Quartet Plus Two are as magical and seemingly unlikely as everything else in Koster's career. While walking through New York's Central Park, he stumbled upon standup bass player Gauvain Gamon and drummer Kolja Gjoni playing Gershwin and Mingus, and, with the addition of pianist Benji Miller, a musical partnership was born. Koster's longtime collaborators Robbie Cucchiaro (horns) and Thomas Hughes (orchestral arranging and chimes) of The Music Tapes also contribute to the record.
