Johanna Samuels - Bystander - VINYL LP

Chaotic Good?is Warren's fifth full-length album and first for Wax Nine/Carpark Records. It represents a moment of rupture in the singer-songwriter's career as she transitions away from the quiet, folk-adjacent work that defined her early solo albums with a bold statement piece that demonstrates the breadth of her ambition. Here, Warren flits between crushing admissions set to spare piano solos and muscular declarations of independence that have more in common with grunge acts of bygone years than anything we've heard from Warren in the past. Warren decided to produce the album on her own and adding to the album's dynamism is the fact that it took shape over the course of four years in studios across the United States while Warren was touring her most recent albums?Gemini I?and?II.

Founded in 1987 the annual Rarities of Piano Music Festival in the North German town of Husum is a major event. Danacord is proud to the recording from the extra festival from June 3-5, 2022. Due to Covid-19 the planned 2020 festival had to cancelled and an extra short three day festival came in June this year. As a theme the music was all around Alkan. Listen to Marc-André Hamelin, Artur Pizzaro, Claire Hammond and other fine pianists performing rare piano music. All lovers of piano music will want this , not only because of the first class pianism from truly outstanding performers, but also because the quality of the often unknown and rare mostly romantic piano music is of such invaluable substance. Critics greeted all the previous releases with enthusiasm.

Sometimes an album title arrives like a voice from across time. For Johanna Samuels, Sorry, Kid began as a message to her younger self, part apology and part recognition. Gathering songs written as far back as 2007 alongside newer work, the album bridges nearly two decades of lived experience.The record holds 70s tones without leaning on them, drawing from a lineage of melody and restraint while staying fully alive in it's own time. It feels lived in, steady, and quietly powerful, like something finally understood without needing to be explained. The result is intimate and fully realized, songs that began as questions now settling into something like resolution.
