Beirut - Postcards From Italy

From the album ‘The Bearer Of Bad News’ (2015) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/andyshauf

Me and a couple friends, we had a big idea about getting money and getting out of here: we were wide-eyed dreamers of wealth. We were getting tired of killing time, filling up our heads with cheap wine. Jerry had a van so we could make our escape. He would say: “Boys, our time has come to live among the privileged ones.” Now it was Jerry’s plan but we all agreed: skip town and split the money up evenly, lay low ‘til the winter rolled in. He said, “I know an old farmer doesn’t trust the bank, keeps his money buried out behind his water tank. He told me once when he was out of his mind. Oh boys, our time has come to live among the privileged ones.” Now Jerry had a girl, the only one of us to ever have one last and so no questions asked, she’d be the fourth one involved. Her name was Mary-Anne and she was nice enough. Always a cashier, only once in love, with Jerry — the dreamer and the clerk, who said, “Boys, our time has come to live among the privileged ones.” So on that Friday night on which we all agreed, we took our shovels and crept out carefully through the farmyard darker than sin. The plan went off without a hitch ‘til we passed the chicken coop and Mary tripped, turned the hens to sirens in the night. And when the farmhouse lights turned on, a warning shot rang out into the dawn. And we ran like hell for Jerry’s van, but when we arrived we were only three. And while Jerry’s greed fed gas to the engine, his words showed us a coward we’d never seen. As he said, “Boys, our time has come. We’re gonna save ourselves and live among the privileged ones.”

Meticulously written over four years and recorded over one in a makeshift studio set up in his parent’s basement, Shauf, whose delivery at times reminds of Elliott Smith or Paul Simon, plays nearly every instrument on The Bearer of Bad News. The album was crafted on his grandfather’s timeworn guitar and heavily influenced by the aforementioned—and newly learned—clarinet, which was a Christmas gift from family. In spite of his modest recording set-up, Shauf imbued The Bearer of Bad News with an enduring warmth and redolence that lingers long after the album ends.

Andy Shauf - Jerry Was A Clerk

Portrait d'Erik Satie peint par Suzanne Valadon (1893).
Cette chanson que j'ai écrite et composée y fait référence.
Monsieur Gontrand en est l'interprète.
Le son du piano provient d'EZ Keys2.

Au 6 de la rue Cortot
Erik met son manteau
Direction Le Chat Noir
Et sur le trottoir
Ses pieds, par leur tempo,
Martèlent son humeur du soir

Des marteaux qu’actionneront ses mains
Tel est son gagne-pain
Ses doigts sur un clavier
Va-t-il retrouver la belle Suzanne
Qui se pavane
Elle fera bientôt
Son portrait chez lui, rue Cortot
Pour ses beaux yeux
Montmartre est merveilleux

Au 6 de la rue Cortot
Erik retire son manteau
Il revient du Chat Noir
Et se sert à boire
Rêvant de ce tableau
Comme un voyage vers l’espoir



Au 6 de la rue Cortot (avec Monsieur Gontrand)

Best Boy

If You're on the Water

New Tradition

The "If You’re on the Water" EP, while self-released, is The Saxophones' first studio recording. It was recorded and mixed on an analog Toft console by Cameron Spies of Radiation City over the course of a spring week in Portland, Oregon. It features Alexi Erenkov on guitar, vocals, and woodwinds; his wife, Alison Alderdice on percussion and vocals; and his longtime friend and collaborator Richard Laws on bass, vibes, and Crumar synthesizer. 

The title track was inspired by a summer week that saw suicide, the transition of a relationship, and Alexi and his Father’s near death experience in a boating accident. The album pays tribute to the currents of beauty, sorrow and regret that run through our lives.

Catch a glimpse of you while I walk through the airport by myself 
Got a sweater on I’ve seen in a few pictures that you’ve sent 

I can’t say that I’ve been missing someone I’ve only met once 
And the pressure we put on ourselves come right to the forefront and we ask 

What’s gonna happen when the lights come up? 
My eyes get big and I’m with you 
What’s gonna happen when the lights come up 
And you’re still on my mind 
Oh what are we gonna do? 

What’s gonna happen when the lights come up 
Oooooh 

What if you drink too much and cheat your way through school 
Is that ok? 
Bite your nails and move to cigarettes to make it through your day? 

But we both feel it that we need to be together every day 
How can I go on when I know you exist so far away? 

What’s gonna happen when the lights come up 
My eyes get big and I’m with you 
What’s gonna happen when the lights come up 
And you’re still on my mind 
Oh what are we gonna do? 

What’s gonna happen when the lights come up 
Oooooh 
Feel something happening 

What’s gonna happen when the lights come up?
