About this product
The musical duo of Shane Butler & Caity Shaffer released their debut album as Olden Yolk last year, an alluring concoction of hypnagogic folk & kosmiche rhythms, expanding & refining Butler's work in his former band Quilt toward a more focused direction. The songs on InchLiving TheatreInch were written & recorded during a heavy time of transition & upheaval for the duo, with personal tragedies and a big move from their NYC home to a warmer climate in Los Angeles coloring the album's inception. Musically, the duo's songwriting has gelled into a unified front, relying more on the subtle shifts of melody & rhythm than a barrage of chord changes; Living Theatre's hooks lap at your feet like a babbling brook, rather than bowl you over like violent waves. The refinement in tunes like InchCastor & PolluxInch, InchGrand PalaisInch & first single InchCotton & CainInch points to a new frontier for the group; soaring skyward toward the emotionally textural plateaus of trailblazers like The Go-Betweens or Yo La Tengo. There's a discernible romantic feel to tunes like InchViolent DaysInch or Distant Episode's rich arrangements - Living Theatre showcases a band breaking free from it's chrysalis, and embracing it's next phase of evolution. Album Tracks 1. 241 D 2. Blue Paradigm 3. Cotton & Cain 4. Meadowlands 5. Castor & Pollux 6. Violent Days 7. Every Ark 8. Grand Palais 9. Distant Episode 10. Angelino High

For bluegrass aficionados, InchMuleskinner LiveInch is something of a watershed event. Originally broadcast on PBS in the late '70s, the documentary captured the bluegrass supergroup at the peak of it's powers. Muleskinner's lineup boasted the talents of Clarence White, David Grisman, Peter Rowan, Bill Keith, and Richard Green, so it should come as little surprise that this live record is a powerhouse Album Tracks 1. New Camptown Races 2. Dark Hallow 3. Land of the Navajo 4. Blackberry Blossom 5. Knockin' on Your Door 6. Opus 57 in G Minor 7. Red Rocking Chair 8. Going to the Races 9. Eighth of January 10.
