Jeffrey Halford & the Healers - Lo-fi Dreams - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Ting was released in 1992. The band decided to record the songs with mainly piano and percussion accompaniment. Hofstede put his guitar aside, Stips did not touch his extensive library of sounds and samples and Kloet did not played the drum-set, but played orchestral percussion instruments. Guest musicians were invited for most songs (mainly bass and cello) and on some songs 'Klangsteine' (musical stones), works of art by the Swiss sculptor Arthur Schneiter, were used. These stones could be played with mallets, which explains the title of the album. They could also be rubbed by hand to create a buzzing sound. On the album the entire band plays the stones, together with Schneiter and friend Swiss percussionist Fritz Hauser. The music is often quiet and melancholic, but also contains some strong pop songs, including the cheerful 'Soap Bubble Box', the lyrics of which were inspired by the artist Joseph Cornell and the Nits classic 'Cars And Cars'. The lyrics are often introverted and/or abstract, even poetic and much less immediately understandable than on previous albums. Ting is available as a limited edition of 500 copies on silver colored vinyl and includes an insert with additional pictures provided by the band. LISTEN //youtu.

2019 . 'Atmospheric, funky, rustic, and raw this is narrative Americana at it's finest; poetic story songs delivered with the voice of authenticity, sitting atop a moody bed of dirty slide guitars, organic drums, and swampy bass. Subtle touches of violin, piano, and lap steel adorn a song cycle that chronicles the westbound adventures of two mythic brothers in an equally mythic America. Jeffrey Halford, co-writer Don Zimmer and Adam Rossi created something so many strive for, and yet too few achieve a genuine Americana concept album that is simultaneously devoid of pretension, and richly authentic. If Cormac McCarthy played guitar, he'd have a regular slot at The Sad Cafe, and folks would come from miles around to hear him sing 'The Ballad of Ambrose and Cyrus.'
