Jeremy Ivey - Invisible Pictures - VINYL LP

This is the kind of songwriting I've always been drawn to,Inch says Jeremy Ivey. InchThe perpetual motion, the intricate melodies, the sprawling arrangements. This album is the real me.Inch Juxtaposing raw, unflinching personal reckonings with jaunty, buoyant melodies and rich, kaleidoscopic production, Invisible Pictures, Ivey's third album for ANTI- Records, is indeed a revelation. Though the songs are rooted in a 21st century swirl of chaos and uncertainty, the record is, at it's core, an undeniably feel-good collection, one that refuses to surrender to the existential ache it so artfully captures. Instead, Ivey embraces the sheer, unmitigated joy of creative freedom and sonic exploration here, drawing on everything from flamenco and classical music to vintage indie rock and British Invasion tunes to craft a passionate, transcendent album more reminiscent of John Lennon or Elliott Smith than anything coming out of Nashville these days. InchI try to put a little bit of hope into everything I do,Inch Ivey reflects. InchNo matter how heavy, no matter how dark things may get, there's always a little bit of light shining through. Album Tracks 1. Orphan Child 2. Trial By Fire 3. Keep Me High 4. Downhill (Upside Down Optimist) 5. Grey Machine 6. Phantom Limb 7. Empty Game 8. Invisible Pictures 9. Black Mood 10.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 . Nashville-based performer Jeremy Ivey has operated in the background for years as a songwriter/guitarist with his wife, celebrated country-rock luminary Margo Price. Ivey is back in the spotlight with his sophomore solo album Waiting Out The Storm via Anti- Records. Produced by Price, the ten-song album finds Jeremy Ivey expanding his sound with his band the Extraterrestrials. On Waiting Out The Storm, an album with electricity coursing through it's veins, Ivey zooms out to take a widescreen look at the world around us-the landscape, the people that populate it, and the ways in which we help each other survive against all odds. Ivey, who writes prolifically and cites Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan as influences, evokes Inch'Mutations'-era Beck along with classic countryInch (Rolling Stone). His solo material travels through a wide spectrum of classic folk, gently frayed psychedelia, pop, and a bit of Southern rock. Album Tracks 1. Tomorrow People 2. Paradise Alley 3. Movies 4. Hands Down in Your Pockets 5. White Shadow 6. Things Could Get Much Worse 7. Someone Else's Problem 8. Loser Town 9. What's the Matter Esther 10. How It Has to Be

In 1974, Jeremiah Sand and his nascent cult The Children Of The New Dawn decamp LA for the Shasta Mountain region and Redding, CA. They set up shop, begin printing leaflets, hold gatherings and start growing their ranks through recruitment. Jeremiah and the Children are not necessarily an odd addition to Redding in 1974. Since the 1930s, psychonauts and spiritual seekers have been drawn to this area in Northern California under the shadow of the dormant volcanic cone of Shasta. By 1974, urban California hippies worn down by direct political engagement with state security forces have started drifting North and the towns along the border with Oregon state are filled with ad-hoc spiritual organizations, commune builders and lost souls. Jeremiah and the Children fit right in. A few years prior to assembling his flock, Sand had self produced and released an album of psych-folk that was unremarkable in almost every way, save for the unrelenting vanity and egoism on display in the lyrics. This early album is one of the only existing documents of Sand. The commercial failure of the album became the catalyst for Sand to leave Southern California and settle in a place where his InchtruthInch would be Inchreceived by pure and open heartsInch. By mid 1974, the Children have grown in rank and Jeremiah becomes obsessed with recording Inchhis masterpieceInch... a musical message to the world, communicating a InchTruthInch that only he has been given spiritual access to. This project becomes the central focus of the Children. His lieutenant Brother Swann overhears that there is a small recording studio just North of the city. He arrives one day at the reception with a large gym bag full of cash and instructs the owner to cancel all sessions on the books. The studio will now focus on one thing and one thing only helping Jeremiah realize his vision. Tents and rough structures appear o
