Sean Nichols Savage - Trilogy - VINYL LP

Life Is Crazy, the accurately titled new record from Sean Nicholas Savage, is unlike anything we've heard from the cult balladeer. No drums or bass on the album, the accompaniment consists strictly of pure piano and rich strings, leaving Savage's songwriting bare to the listener like never before. Bold and attuned, InchLive Is CrazyInch marks the dawn of a new era for SNS, and a long-awaiting return to the full-length LP .Life Is Crazy's collaborators are decidedly new as well. The piano is interpreted and performed by renowned virtuoso Marcin Masecki, winner of the 2005 International Jazz Piano Competition in Moscow, while the strings are arranged and performed by adored Grammy-winning composer Owen Pallett. This stark presentation sits within an artistic mix by producer savant Cecile Believe, of Grammy-nominated SOPHIE notoriety.InchLife Is CrazyInch is rich with beautifully ambiguous melodies, refections and new perceptions, all in a world of their own. The album is a masterpiece at a time of transition, in both the world and the oeuvre, from a unique songwriter and performer of the truest quality. Album Tracks 1. Years from Tonight 2. Nothing As It Seems 3. I Believe in Everything 4. A Moment 5. Life Is Crazy 6. Thrill Me 7. Mysteries 8. Save My Life 9. Vanishing 10. In the Silence of the Crowd

The glimmer of light in a stray cat's eye, the ebb and flow of ocean waves upon the shore, the bright streak of a comet across the night sky, the unconditional love between a mother and child these are some of the poetic elements that sparkle at the core of Shine from Sean Nicholas Savage, the follow-up to 2020's Life is Crazy. Where that album explored the crushing beauty of life, Shine is a record about recapturing the will to live after a period of sadness and stagnancy, and the return to positivity and hope wrapped up in music that adds a sense of rhythmic guitar-based folk intimacy to Savage's hallmark ebullient avant-pop.Savage says he was leaning into his InchTatsuro Yamashita and Elliott Smith fandomInch for Shine, a mix that immediately comes through vividly on opener InchFeel Like A Child,Inch which was the first song he wrote for the record. The pandemic had taken both an emotional and artistic toll on Savage, sapping his ability to be creative. It was after a long stay spent alone on the island Crete, sitting and staring at the sea that he felt a spark coming back to him. He sang Incha long joyful memoInch into his phone as he fell asleep one night, transcribing the words upon return to his home in Berlin and putting them to music. InchIt's a circular song about a return, for a time when I could feel wonder again, could imagine anything new,Inch he says. InchIt's possible to heal and fall in love with life in a new way after everything is destroyed.Inch This reaffirmation of love and healing is at the heart of all the songs that make up Shine, not only thematically but sonically as well. Shine was recorded in Los Angeles with Savage's longtime friend Mac DeMarco, who produced the record. Savage credits DeMarco with an enthused and open minded approach, allowing the songs to become a reflection of the vulnerable, intimate feel Savage envisioned for them. I

8 SONGS mixed by legendary producer KEVIN InchTHE CAVEMANInch SHIRLEY (Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, The Black Crowes, Joe Bonamassa, Led Zeppelin, Rush etc - Mastered by Ade Emsley (Iron Maiden). WEST CALDER. SCOTLAND 07 October 2021, The Cosmic Trip Advisors announced today the of their new lockdown covers album, WHAT ARE YOU SINKING ABOUT? The record contains a selection of blues, gospel and country inspired songs regarding the human condition. They have been specially chosen to lift the spirit and soothe the worried mind of those who find themselves adrift on life's stormy seas. The album has been mixed and mastered by the same dream team of Kevin 'the caveman' Shirley and Ade Emsley whose most recent work is by a little band called Iron Maiden. The Cosmic Trip Advisors had been together for less than a year when they recorded their debut album (Wrong again, Albert... released 1 June 2019) in Sweden with brit award winning producer Pedro Ferreira (The Darkness) at the helm. It's not many unsigned bands from West Lothian in Scotland who can say that. Maybe that's because there are no other bands in Scotland like The Cosmic Trip Advisors. The InchSinking AboutInch album was never meant to happen. But pestilence swept the land and forced everybody into exile for a year, so any plans to record the follow up to InchWrong Again, Albert...Inch quickly evaporated. As the long months dragged on, it was impossible to not be affected by the sheer amount of friends, family and work colleagues who were clearly sinking under the choppy waters of their Inchnew normalInch. With this in mind, band members and friends (who could get to the studio or record remotely) were drafted in as required to add their fairy dust to a set of cover tracks that had been specially chosen for their mood improving qualities and lyrics regarding the frailty and complexity of the human condition.
