Mountain Heart - Blue Skies - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Mark Pritchard returns this Spring with The Four Worlds. An eight-track body or work further exploring the sonic worlds first encountered on 2016's critically acclaimed opus Under The Sun. Akin to that album, Mark has once again collaborated with acclaimed visual artist Jonathan Zawada on artwork and visuals. The highlight of which is a thirteen minute visual odyssey through the four worlds bringing to life the ambient feel and engrossing cinematic soundscapes of the music. Having already collaborated on his last record with Thom Yorke, Bibio and Linda Perhacs, as well as touring with James Blake, The Four Worlds features Pritchard working with a collection of underground poets and musicians including Colorado's psychedelic heroine Space Lady on InchS.O.SInch, and eighties cult radio artist Gregory Whitehead on InchCome Let UsInch.A1.

2018 . Hard-charging bluegrass outfit The Hillbenders are celebrating their 10 year anniversary as a band with the of an eponymous new album and an anniversary tour. The Hillbenders is the follow-up to Missouri quintet's critically acclaimed 2015 , Tommy A Bluegrass Opry, an acoustic interpretation of The Who's legendary rock opera of the same name. Rolling Stone said the album turned Inchthat pivotal moment in rock history upside down but still retained it's stunning creative juice. The Hillbenders were able to recruit Eric Uglum (Ralph Stanley, Alison Krauss, Sara Watkins, Rob Ickes) to produce The Hillbenders and all 11 tracks were cut live with the entire band, with the only overdubs being additional harmony vocals. As usual with this band, they all write and sing. The Hillbenders also came across some interesting cover selections to help tell their story, pulling from the electro-pop world with a grassy version of MGMT's InchKids.Inch There's also a Inchco-writeInch with the late, great John Hartford that came from guitarist Jim Rea, who crafted the music and melody to lyrics found in Hartford's book, InchWord Movies.Inch High energy performances, a diverse catalog, and a slice of humor make way for what appears to be more of a brotherhood than a business-and each audience they play for becomes a part of that family.
