Girlhouse - The Girlhouse EPS - VINYL LP

Originally released in the mid-2000s, Stranger On The Sofa is an album tied together by it's mysterious cinematic composure. Each track is used to demonstrate the breadth of musicianship and re-presentation of countless timeless genres, moving in between electronica and jazz with shadowy ambience scattered throughout. Nick Plytas and Adrian Owusu provided their expertise on the organ and slide guitar, with Barry playing almost every other instrument. Composing, performing, recording and producing Stranger On The Sofa undoubtedly makes it an album that represents Adamson fully embracing the DIY aesthetic from where he began. Album Tracks 1.

Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas is a double live album by Texas singer/songwriter Townes Van Zandt. The recording captures Van Zandt in a series of July 1973 performances in an intimate venue and there is a strong critical consensus that this recording is among the most exemplary of Van Zandt's career. In July 1973, Van Zandt performed a string of shows over five sweltering nights at the Old Quarter club owned by Rex Bell and Dale Soffar that were recorded on a portable four track by Earl Willis, the album's producer and engineer. They would eventually be released four years later by Van Zandt's previous producer and manager Kevin Eggers on his new Tomato Records tag. The liner notes describe the recording as the InchRosetta StoneInch of Texas music. One can hear Van Zandt's influences in covers by artists like Bo Diddley, Texas bluesman Lightnin' Hopkins, and country picker Merle Travis. Van Zandt's most famous works can also be heard, such as InchIf I Needed YouInch and InchPancho and LeftyInch played to an audience not already familiar with these songs. The singer's laconic banter and corny jokes are also on full display. The album is also noted for the intimacy of the performance, with Van Zandt taking the stage alone and accompanying himself on guitar as he did thousands of times during his career. In the 2007 biography To Live's To Fly The Ballad of the Late, Great Townes Van Zandt, John Kruth writes that Van Zandt played Inchto nearly a hundred folks per set, packed shoulder to shoulder within the club's bare brick walls. The room was so jammed that it was impossible for a waitress to wend her way through the crowd to take drink orders. People had to pass money hand over fist and wait, in hopes that a mug of cold beer would eventually find it's way back to them.Inch Van Zandt is introduced by Dale Soffar and, after apologizing for the busted air condit

With an adventurous and daring take on instrumental afrobeat, Super Yamba Band's Last Leap EP takes listeners back to 2014, the band's formative year. InchWe had just moved to Brooklyn-Walter, Sean, Evan, and I,Inch said Daniel Yount, the band's founder and drummer, Inchand our only plan for 'making it' was to just play as much music together as possible.Inch Finally released from the Yamba archives, the Last Leap EP is a sonic timestamp of the band's creative energy during those very special first days in New York City. InchWe were excited, inspired-and probably a little overwhelmed. We wanted to record a few of our tunes so that we could have something for the clubs to listen to as we were trying to book gigs,Inch Yount explained. InchFrom there, we immediately fell into playing shows at Harlem's African music clubs-places like Silvana and Shrine-as well as DIY dance parties in Brooklyn.Inch The result of all of this, Yount said, was Incha sound that we intentionally designed to keep people dancing for as long as possible.Inch From the early days of the Last Leap sessions, Super Yamba Band never relented. Today the group has gained notoriety in the global afrobeat and afrofunk scenes largely through it's extensive touring and Ubiquity Records releases with singer, composer, and guitarist, Leon Ligan-Majek, aka Kaleta, a veteran of the genre. InchOur project with Kaleta gained traction so fast, we basically put these masters on the shelves and forgot about them,Inch Yount explained. InchYears later we went back to listen-with fresh ears-and it was reinvigorating. We're going to keep exploring these sounds and pushing the limits of what an instrumental, afrobeat-centric band can be, even as we continue to double-down on our work with Kaleta.Inch Album Tracks 1.
