'Woodcut' is the debut album from Sailcloth, the project name upright bassist/multi-instrumentalist Alex Luquet records under. 'Woodcut' released July 2nd, 2021 with US label, Lost Tribe Sound.

The Pennsylvania native caught the attention of Lost Tribe Sound with the 2019 EP 'Close Keeping'. Its strong lean towards a highly textural and bass-forward sound connected it to LTS immediately.

Original discussions about the debut record centered on creating an album that pushed the often background role of the upright bass to the foreground, letting the rich, sturdy tones that the instrument is capable of be the star of the show.  With the thirteen songs of 'Woodcut', Sailcloth has well surpassed this original outline, undoubtedly giving this massive wooden instrument center stage while also delivering an album that is unexpected yet comfortable simultaneously. It delivers on those rumbling cathartic lows, though it equally gives way to some of the most satisfying big-hearted highs.

'Woodcut' contains this wide-eyed sense of wonder, warming us with its nostalgic melodies and deep earthy undertones that point towards a strong commune with nature and all that breathes around us. At times, it is refreshing, joyful, undeniably playful. Further still its gritty, awkward, elusive, contemplative. Never fully pledging its allegiance to just one spectrum on the color wheel, ‘Woodcut' evades easy classification and the stereotypical jazz-like outcomes one typically expects from the instrument. Best we can figure, it's electro-acoustic music with a longing for travel, adventure, and real connection. It's music that is eager to share its colorful experiences with all who will listen and reward them with sure-handed nuance not often heard in debut albums.

Sailcloth - Woodcut (from Woodcut)

I don't know that there's merit to employing the beast - the internet - to disturb having grown accustomed to the beast.

It wasn't eight years ago that city people would come to the School here on the farm and look at me concernedly when they found out the hard way that I, as it is said, 'had no service'. Two weeks ago the Bell guy was up a pole on the lane at the behest of an erstwhile air b/b landlord, to install - I would say 'impose' - some kind of higher speed version of the beast, to make this rural area attractive to people who want to get away from it all. There's bound to be a pretty stout demand for well appointed places to get away from it all in the wake of all this distancing.
Maybe this virus is a disturbance in the Fentanyl supply. Maybe the internet is the slickest methadone yet, keeping hale and hearty the mania for empty engagement, for the vacant calories of content.
I won't claim that there's loads of requests for more from me, on this or any other subject. There isn't.
I've never been on the other personal devices, or platforms, or anything else. Don't know how to activate them.

This is as compromised a move as I seem capable of, social media wise. Not very sophisticated, but earnest.
Here's an ad hoc meeting of the farm crew, issuing proof of what they're mindful of while forking hay and picking out the poison ivy roots and milking the ewes.
I did my best on short notice. We'd like something here to be useful to your ruminations, before the horn blows and your rumination time is cut short.

Bless. Work. Repeat. That's what we're up to.
Good fortune to your door.

Ommmmmm

Let the fires of transformation blaze. Like the alchemist, you are creating the life that you so choose. Choose wisely. Where your thoughts go, your energy flows. Yes acknowledge & feel everything that arises, and consciously choose to create the most loving relationship you can with yourself. Discover who you are & what you most desire in your life. This will only improve your relationships with others, though sometimes it burns at first. Burn away that which is no longer serving your highest growth & evolution, paving way for the life of your dreams.
