About this product

Limited translucent black smoke colored vinyl LP pressing. Includes . Led by drummer Jose Medeles (Breeders, 1939 Ensemble, Revival Drum Shop), Railroad Cadences & Melancholic Anthems is a drummer's tribute to guitarist and DIY iconoclast John Fahey. Joined for a series of guitar and drum duets with M. Ward, experimental guitarist Marisa Anderson, and Chris Funk (Decemberists, Stephen Malkmus), it's a genuinely honorific project, featuring not Fahey compositions, but rather a series of improvised rendezvous inspired and informed by his looseness and rhythmic idiosyncrasies. Recording in the comfortable setting of Bocce Recording in Vancouver, WA, in 2020, these duets are playful and spiritually deep, presented with snapshot clarity Medeles likens to the recordings of Alan Lomax or Chris Strachwitz, 'who boldly captured field recording of Southern chain gangs and juke joint raconteurs decades ago. The result here is similar pure and honest recordings.'

Jose Medeles - High Above The Ground   - VINYL LP

Though this record is technically a José Medeles album co-starring Marc Ribot, the drummer approached the project by imagining how his playing would work alongside the New Jersey-born songwriter. It's something he's thought about a lot over the years when listening to Marc's music. InchMarc is one of my favorite living guitar players and writers, and I have often tried to imagine what my drumming voice would sound like with his playing - he's inspired me that much as an artist,Inch Medeles explains. As such, he approached the session with an excitement aided by just a bit of anxiety. It was to be a singular moment in his recording career. InchThis particular session was a musical Mount Everest for me, and I am definitely a better drummer and creative after the session. It was just so open and freeing,Inch he adds.Describing the process, Medeles broke it down simply enough InchEssentially what happened is that two musicians that are viciously dedicated to their instruments got together in a beautiful studio one afternoon and played for the sheer love of playing.Inch The duo decamped to Tucker Martine's Flora Recording And Playback to document the performance, and in the studio they were able to capture the raw immediacy of something akin to a concert with all of the clarity offered in a world class recording space. It's the perfect middle ground between prepared and whimsical.
