2021 . Michael Hurley's first new studio record in 12 years features eleven songs recorded in Astoria, Oregon during the brief time of year when the foxgloves bloom. Hurley had been workshopping the set at home for the past few years. Friends and collaborators came into town and contributed from afar. The songs are lifted by violin, organ, upright bass, banjo, percussion - but at the center, of course, is the enigmatic Snock, whose songs have grown only more unique and more 57 years after his debut album (First Songs - Folkways, 1964). It could only be Snock. Heartbreaking, heartfelt, easy and carefree. The glorious opener InchAre You Here For The FestivalInch - punctuated by a pair of violins - came to him while working in the garden. InchLittle Blue RiverInch floats by on a cloud. The haunting InchJacob's LadderInch sounds beamed in from another era. Or dimension. Foxgloves is as comforting and wonderful as any Hurley record that has come before it Album Tracks 1. Are You Here for the Festival 2. Alabama 3. Se Fue en la Noche 4. Blondes and Redheads 5. Love Is the Closest Thing 6. Boulevard 7. Knocko the Monk 8. Jacob's Ladder 9. Little Blue River 10.

Although the Skull Snaps self titled album contains drum breaks that have been sampled many times on various hip-hop records by well known acts such as Ol' Dirty Bastard, Das EFX, Eric B. & Rakim, Digable Planets, DJ Shadow, Rob Dougan, Black Moon, Guru and the Prodigy, the funk group released only one album in 1973 before disappearing. The rare 1973 single from that album is presented here in it's original glory with the a and B side flipped, befitting the legendary status of InchIt's a New Day.Inch
