Lina Tullgren - Won - VINYL LP

Hello and welcome to Decide Which Way The Eyes Are Looking, the new record by LinaTullgren. It is a deeply gorgeous intervention, a carefully ornamented dilemma, the mostinviting crisis. Made with a host of Los Angeles musicians, Decide exposes Tullgren'sdaring and trust. Each song is a ring of curious sound the skip of harp strings, the flutterof woodwinds, the ratchet of percussion, the euphonium's sigh. And at the center of eachwreath, Tullgren sings, finding this space between Judee Sill and Sam Jayne. It's a tonethat signals weariness, but a weariness hand-in-hand with tenacity. There's a clarity, akind of immovability.Lina Tullgren's first record came in 2016, a homemade, under-the-skin set of laments.Subsequent LPs and constant touring cemented Tullgren's reputation as a composer ofInchwide-eyed wonder paired with a resonant despair.Inch 2019's Free Cell showed Tullgrenlingering in the margins of their songs, finding places both aloof and spare. Floodgatesopened; Tullgren spent the subsequent years exploring deep listening, improvised music,and extended technique. They developed a patience and faith in cooperation that rangedat the far edge of song. Collaborations with Mayo Thompson and Claire Rousay furtheredthis development. This was not a break with the past for Tullgren, rather it was anopportunity to see how far a song could go. And from that distance, deep in a landscapeof drone and tension, Tullgren returned to the bright vulnerability of a lyric and a hook.Weaving together the affective and the radical, Tullgren took the quiet isolation of ashoreline cabin to write the songs that would become Decide Which Way The Eyes AreLooking.For Tullgren, Decide is a culmination of all the work they've done throughout their life themelodic, the dense, the confessional, the unknowable. It's also a tribute to collaboration.Describing the sessions as having Incha lot

Janet Klein & Her Parlor Boys Present InchREADY FOR YOUInch produced by Robert Loveless Hot & Beautiful Vintage Jazz from the 1910's, 20' & 30's. Ready for You opens with terrific swingy dance numbers by a spirited singer and band that has put a spit shine and Polish on it's ensemble musicianship. These wonderfully robust tunes will set you jazzing for romance and hurly-burly speakeasy steppin out. Starting with the title track (I m Getting Myself Ready for You a rare Cole Porter song originally by Blanche Calloway - Cab's sister), you ll be rocking to the rafters and then Bear Hugging your baby. From there, the tunes roll into new stylistic water with steamy Riverboat shuffles and a hot southern style repertoire specifically designed for and being performed in intimate historic settings in the US. New to the mix, this break out trio featuring Janet and her first Parlor Boy - John Reynolds who's known for his expert whistling and hotter-than-hell guitar and banjo playing. John provided accompaniment on her 1st CD Come Into My Parlor and is joined with maestro violinist Benny Brydern (Hot Club Quartet) a Parlor Boy regular. This little threesome performs with tremendous drive utter simplicity. Along with the swinging & swaying there's dreamy romance tunes delivered with great arrangements and timeless lyrics by the sweet and vivacious Ms. Klein. As always there's plenty of variety with obscure movie tunes, a load of sassy Dixie mania, novelties and jazz age tales of bad behavior all mixed with a yummy plate of down home fun. Three songs feature Janet singing duets and harmonies with Parlor Fellows- John Reynolds (grandson of 20's 30's movie star Zazu Pitts), Ian Whitcomb (music historian and 60's pop star) and David Barlia (fellow ukulelian and eefing crooner David Barlia).

Pershagen's third studio album, InchHilmaInch, gives both hope, mystery and warm feelings. An instrumental album built up of an amazing mix of heavy rock, Twin peaks mood, Scandinavian gloominess and a bit of 90's indie pop melodies. Featuring current and ex-members from bands and artists, such as The Riven, Sarah Klang, Henning and Staffan Sundström, Pershagen has toured across both Asia and Europe.
