Nonesuch releases its second record from North Carolina-based string band the Carolina Chocolate Drops—a four-song EP—on January 25. The record is a collaboration with the New York City–based Romanian gypsy punk band Luminescent Orchestrii; it was co-produced by that group’s sound engineer, Joseph “Bass” DeJarnette, with the Carolina Chocolate Drops and Luminescent Orchestrii. The project began when both the Luminescent Orchestrii and the Carolina Chocolate Drops, longtime admirers of each others’ music, were performing at the Folk Alliance festival in Memphis, Tennessee. The Chocolate Drops were soon invited to Brooklyn to join the Luminescent Orchestrii and their friend human beatboxer Adam Matta to record “Knockin’,” from the Lumiis’ record Too Hot to Sleep, and Blu Cantrell’s “Hit ’Em Up Style,” which was on the Drops’ album Genuine Negro Jig. Next the Lumiis and Matta went down to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to record a new version of the Sam Morgan jazz classic “Short Dress Gal” and the Lumii song “Escoutas (Diga Diga Diga).” These four songs comprise Carolina Chocolate Drops / Luminescent Orchestrii.

Never know, never know, never know, 
Maybe he's a cop dressed in normal clothes, 
Never say, never say, never say 
What you really mean, what you really think at the end of the day 
And even if you did, would you want everyone to know 
That he is a cop dressed in normal clothes? 

Never turn, never turn, never turn around 
His big, booming voice came yellin' at you yeah yellin' from the clouds 
"No, baby don't look back or you'll be a stack of salt for the rest of your life, the rest of your life" 
Who'da known who'da known who'da known he was not bluffin that night? 

Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go slip out the back door 
Every body seems to know what they're comin' here for 
They seem to know what they're after 
No but there ain't no chicken pot pie that is worth the time 
So I gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now 

And it's an eye in the sky, it's a big golden light 
And it's comin' to find you in a matter of time. 
And it's the weight of the world dressed up like a little girl 
Sellin' hot dogs and candy on the 4th of July

Eye In the Sky

What makes the homey Ozark stew of Handmade Moments so very nourishing, so perfectly spiced? Partake and be effortlessly guided through wistful and deep channels of musical flavor, rich with hearty roots and fungi, vegetables home-gardened and watered from the sacred well of American musics: jazz old-time country blues soul hip-hop rock (and it don't stop). Glistening with insight and whimsy, long-simmering with righteous compassion and beauty, Handmade Moments are a fearless all-weather duo - complementary spirits of musical tightrope and magic - serving up entrée to their secret river of goodness.

A COLLABORATION WITH @dirtwire

This song was created by me and my good friends Dirtwire. The idea came to us to do a song together because we were about to go out on a major tour together and thought it would be fun to do a collaboration. The song is really about strength and power in unity. During these crazy divisive times, it's important for us to remember that we are all in this together and that no progress will be made unless we move forward as one people. We hope this song inspires unity amongst listeners.
