Michelle Branch - The Trouble With Fever - VINYL LP

Armor for Sleep - THERE IS NO MEMORY BIO How much of our past do we carry with us into the present? And how much of it should (or shouldn't) we leave behind? Those are the simple yet profound questions at the heart of There Is No Memory. The fifth full-length from Armor for Sleep-and the New Jersey outfit's second record after a 15 year wait for it's predecessor, 2022's The Rain Museum-it's songs force the listener to question the very nature of their existence, of what makes us the people we are. It does that because that's precisely what Ben Jorgensen was doing while writing it. While The Rain Museum was a record written in the throes of the dissolution of the Armor for Sleep frontman's eight year marriage and his subsequent divorce, it's setting was more fictional and metaphorical. By comparison, There Is No Memory is much more literal, much more grounded in the real world, and much closer to the bone. InchWhen you're going through a traumatic experience,Inch he says, Inchand are actually underwater in an event like that, it's very difficult to have any kind of perspective on anything other than that one thing that's consuming all aspects of your life. The Rain Museum was written right after I went through this crazy life event. For this one, in contrast, I'm higher off that waterline, and I have a broader perspective now. I've been taking stock of my life as a whole, and so I found myself thinking and writing about the strange experience of memories and the power they have over all facets of who I am.Inch If that statement doesn't give it away, one listen to this record will. There Is No Memory is actually punctuated by it-it's an album steeped in life (and lives) lived, in recollections of the past, in the absence of what once was, in the lacuna brought on by the memories of what had been. Jorgensen is well aware of the irony of the title, but it's an intentional

After six years, the American alternative rock band Buffalo Tom are back with their tenth full-length studio album, titled Jump Rope. During the lockdown, the band kept on writing and sent each other ideas for arrangements and parts, which resulted in a sizeable backlog of song ideas. A sort of direction made itself apparent from the ideas they were trading; most of the songs called for an acoustic, quieter production. Eventually, emerging from their basements, they slowly got to actually working together on the songs in the same room, rehearsing quietly (especially for the super-loud Buffalo Tom), with acoustic guitar. After giving most of the songs a good amount of overdubs and a lot of electric guitars, the songs evolved into this beautiful and thrilling new Buffalo Tom album Jump Rope. Jump Rope features the single 'New Girl Singing' and is available as a limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies on crystal clear vinyl exclusive in the U. S..
