About this product

There are times in life when you're so present, so fully immersed in the moment that you can catch a glimpse of another universe, of a realm beyond our own,Inch says Louisa Stancioff. InchIt might last for a second or an hour, it might come in the midst of bliss or sadness, you might be alone or with a lover, but when it happens, there's nothing quite like it.Inch When We Were Looking, Stancioff's stunning Yep Roc debut, is full of those moments. Written and recorded through a period of deep heartbreak and uncertainty, the collection is the raw and unflinching work of a nomadic soul who spent stints living in Alaska, California, New York, and North Carolina before returning home to her native Maine, one that holds nothing back in it's bittersweet reckonings with pain, healing, acceptance, and growth. Stancioff writes with a cinematic eye here, conjuring up richly detailed stagings for her emotionally-charged character studies, and the guitar-and-synth-focused arrangements are immersive and nuanced to match, thanks in part to the evocative sonic landscaping of producer/keyboardist Sam Kassirer (Josh Ritter, Craig Finn), who proves to be an ideal creative foil on the record. Add it all up and you've got a dreamy, nostalgic Polaroid of an album that blurs the lines between indie stoicism and folk sincerity, a rich, cathartic work that hints at everything from Phoebe Bridgers and Arlo Parks to Big Thief and Waxahatchee as it learns to find the beauty in grief and rebirth.

Basia Bulat - Basia's Palace   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Let's get one thing out of the way Basia Bulat doesn't live in a château. The property at the heart of the songwriter's new studio album is at once her apartment, her jam-space-and the inside of her head. Basia's Palace is a place festooned with love and memory, bad wiring; it's a paradise that comes alive in the wee hours of the night, at a time that's suited to video games and Leonard Cohen records, when you sit in all that richness, taking in all the mess we inherit.Reuniting with co-producer Mark Lawson, she found herself moving through a dreamworld of whispers, synths and early Eurovision tunes, Cohen's I'm Your Man and Air's Moon Safari, her great uncle's gauzy Maryla Rodowicz LPs. The result feels like an album that was concealed behind the backings of Bulat's childhood photos-tracks like InchMy Angel,Inch where mystery and romance mingle over squelchy synths + drum-machine, with a soaring string arrangement by Drew Jurecka (Dua Lipa, Alvvays), or InchLaughterInch- which was mixed, like all tracks on the record, by legendary engineer Tucker Martine (Beth Orton, Neko Case, The National)- that takes a quiet domestic scene and sees it build to a deafening sublime. InchDisco PoloInch is a track Bulat's been threatening to make forever-a folk-song named for a genre of trashy Polish dance music that was beloved of her father-whereas InchBaby,Inch which took years to finish, makes an elegant dance number out of an oh-too-familiar predicament InchBaby, baby, baby,Inch Basia sings, InchI don't learn!Inch At some moments there are shades of Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot's InchBonnie and ClydeInch or Charles Aznavour's InchEmmenez-MoiInch; at others it's the silicon-shiny sweetness of The Cardigans' InchLovefoolInch or Air's Moon Safari.Basia's Palace is set to be released February 21st, 2025 via Secret City Records.
