About this product
The Life You Save is the third album by Flock of Dimes, the solo project of multi-instrumentalist and producer Jenn Wasner.Across the last few decades - whether it be as Flock of Dimes, as half of beloved duo Wye Oak, or via one of her many collaborations with Bon Iver, Sylvan Esso, and a sprawling list of other musical juggernauts - Jenn Wasner's extensive catalog displays her gift for balancing authenticity and directness with an unmistakable left-of-center sensibility. Her songwriting has always found her as a keen-eyed observer, a deeply empathetic and thoughtful storyteller with a skill for probing memory, heartbreak, and unhealed trauma, a shroud of syncopation or off-kilter guitar taking a song somewhere quietly prodigious. Her last solo album, the critically-lauded Head of Roses, took on heartbreak from a dualistic perspective, following a winding thread of intuition into the unknown and into healing. Her new album, The Life You Save, takes that a step further; put simply, it's the most honest, intimate and personally revealing record of Wasner's career. As heart-wrenching as they are hopeful, it's twelve tracks delve the depths of addiction and codependency, inherited and experienced trauma, and the process of finding peace in the face of others' suffering. The Life You Save is resonant, unflinchingly exposed - like a missive from the eye of a storm. But while it somehow manages to feel both viscerally raw and vulnerable, above it floats a sense of quiet peace, a sheen of hindsight, or perhaps of acceptance. It is the story of how it feels to be trapped between two worlds-the one you came from, and the one you've escaped to; about the belief that somehow, you can take the ones you love with you to this place; about the grief of realizing that the only person you can save is yourself.The Life You Save was produced by Jenn Wasner and recorded at Betty's in Chap

Their sound is as slippery as their (lyrical) irony.'Gaucho - the seventh studio album by Steely Dan, released in November 1980 - and Grammy-winner for Best Engineered Non-Classical Recording, was also nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.The sessions for Gaucho represented the band's typical penchant for studio perfectionism and obsessive recording technique. To record the album, the band used at least 42 different musicians, spent over a year in the studio, and far exceeded the original monetary advance given by the record tag.During the two-year span in which the album was recorded, the band was plagued by a number of creative, personal and professional problems. MCA, Warner Bros. And Steely Dan had a three-way legal battle over the rights to the album. After it was released, jazz musician Keith Jarrett was given a co-writing credit on the title track after threatening legal action over plagiarism of Jarrett's song 'Long As You Know You're Living Yours.'Gaucho marked a significant stylistic change for the band, introducing a more minimal, groove- and atmosphere-based .
