About this product

Oh and the way that it feelsTo know youOh and the way it revealsI don't know youSo begins InchThe Way That It Feels, Inch the concluding track of Elanor Moss' debut full-length album The Knife, The Needle, out August 21, 2026 on Merge Records. In two couplets, sung over birdsong and Moss' classical guitar, she manages to capture an entire universe created in the bond between two people. The couplets mirror each other and hang, like a veil, over the rest of the song. Regardless of time, intimacy, love, tenderness, and the way those things can change a person and a relationship, there is, she asserts, an immutable fact to these things that whatever she learns from them, there will always be something unknowable just beyond.It's a gorgeous song, but this sentiment - that what Moss knows about a lover also reveals what she doesn't know - is, for lack of a better term, a knife, burrowed in the back of beauty, an ache which, for lack of a cure, must be accepted, understood, and lived with. Across the nine songs that make up The Knife, The Needle, this is what Elanor Moss does, rendering joy and pain in exquisite peals of psych-folk, it's darkly-dreamed vignettes offering, if not catharsis, an understanding of the complexity of the journey towards it - healing as a process, rather than an object one obtains.Arriving at The Knife, The Needle was itself a complex journey. Moss found herself adrift from her music, pursuing a sound as opposed to occupying the space she had already cultivated for herself. InchNothing felt right, Inch she recalls, Inchso I took the pressure off myself and tried to calibrate my relationship with songwriting and music.Inch The three years she spent writing the songs that make up The Knife, The Needle ultimately found her returning to her roots in and love for, as she puts it, Inchthe music that made me really feel something; the music I wanted to b

Alison Brown - Song Of The Banjo   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2015 album from the acclaimed Grammy-winning musician/composer/producer/entrepreneur. With The Song of the Banjo, her first album since 2009, Alison Brown plants another flag in her journey of musical exploration. As one of today's finest progressive 5-string banjo players, the 2015 IBMA Distinguished Achievement Award/2014 United States Artist Fellowship recipient and Compass Records co-founder mixes seven masterful originals with six surprising covers of pop and rock classics from the '70s and '80s, boldly going where no banjo album has gone before. For their mission, Brown and her co-producer, husband, tag co-founder and bassist Garry West have assembled an equally unconventional all-star ensemble, including Indigo Girls' Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, Keb' Mo', Colin Hay, uke master Jake Shimabukuro, legendary studio drummer Steve Gadd, fiddler Stuart Duncan, Irish phenom guitarist John Doyle, bassist Todd Phillips, guitarist Jim Oblon, Dobro player Rob Ickes and pianists Will Barrow, Joe Davidian and John Jarvis. Combining stunning virtuosity and unerring taste, Brown, with her signature model Prucha banjo creates a roots rainbow of folk, jazz, pop, Celtic, classical, Latin and Americana. Dynamic, introspective and even romantic, The Song of the Banjo is an album for people who didn't know they liked the banjo. For banjo lovers, Alison Brown's 2015 CD rekindles that affair.
