We instantly feel in love with the Squanto sound from way back in early 2012 when Ben sent over an early demo for what is now known as 'Every Night Draws the Same Crowd'. We knew this was going to be a very special album, and one that has been close to our heart...

The photographic prints that come with the album are taken from a trip to North Wales (Snowdonia National Park). This location was always in Dan's mind for the album... The beauty and mystery that encapsulates Snowdonia seemed the perfect fit for the Squanto sound so off we went in the van with camera in hand.

Squanto is Ben Lovell from New York. Ben has been releasing his home-recorded experimental folk music on small-run CD-Rs and tapes since 2009, primarily on his own Lily Tapes & Discs, but also on other labels including Rok Lok Records, Diving Station, and now Fluid Audio.

This album was written and recorded 2011-2013 between bedrooms at school and at home, inspired and informed by long aimless walks through familiar neighborhoods in the dark, trying to pretend that eventually there would be something different behind the houses.

Music by Ben Lovell, drums on "To the Grid and Back" by Sean Kelly. Thanks to everyone in Rochester and LI and everywhere else for your friendship and support, and thanks to Dan for making this release possible.

Polaroid Notes - Golden Heart

To shed some light about how the piece was created, Will has shared some insight into how he went about approaching the concept of Scale.

'Throughout my career I've almost exclusively relied upon my ability to perform and record all the elements of my arrangements through multi-tracking as the means for realizing my compositions.

Because of this I am all too familiar with having to wrangle with proximity effect (how close an instrument or sound source is to the diaphragm of the microphone) and how can either aid or negatively impact a compositions sense of space and convincing ensemble qualities.

When Jim Perkins approached me about contributing to this compilation and mentioned the overarching theme was "scale" I immediately thought of how I might use proximity effect as a guiding identity for a composition.

For this project I decided to disassemble a few music boxes and experiment with using some of my larger instruments (my harp, Concert bass and kettle drum) as resonators for the boxes and mic'ing them at a good distance away from the attack of the tines giving these tiny little instruments a sound far more resonant than they would've had in there original cases. I pitted these ideas against the sound of the highest register of several larger instruments (Harp, Contrabass, cristal bichet and piano) playing the very highest register they could muster, mic'd them extremely close with small diaphragm mics to emphasize the attack and smallest minutiae of performative gestures. I continued to build on this inversion of physical size and pitch relationship for all the subsequent overdubs and arrangement (bass clarinet playing super high multi-phonics, the viola being tuned down a whole fifth and playing two octaves below the basses artificial harmonics etc etc)

It was a joyful little exercise and the tonality and spirit of the peace represents that enjoyment, I think!
