By the time he was 15, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Carter Tanton was already playing bar shows in his hometown of Baltimore.  Two years later, he caught the attention of Gary E. Smith, best known for discovering and producing The Pixies.  After working together for a year, they parted ways, but Tanton never slowed down.  In the mid-2000's he released a couple of EPs with his band Tulsa, prompting Rolling Stone's David Fricke to claim "…his indie-seraphim voice is not of this world…", and after a particularly impressive live set KEXP's John Richards said "…he's one of the best singer-songwriters in the country today."  Beyond his critical acclaim, Tanton's early work was cited as an inspiration by his old friend Adam Granduciel of The War on Drugs.  As Granduciel recalled in an interview with Pitchfork, "He was sleeping in someone's basement, playing every instrument, going through this breakup,...That was the first time I saw someone make music obsessively. I’d never seen anyone living inside of something, to that level."  

Over the years, Tanton has toured and recorded with numerous artists including Marissa Nadler, Strand of Oaks, Lower Dens, and The War on Drugs. In 2012, he assembled Freeclouds, his first collection of songs for Western Vinyl.  A couple of years later, Tanton moved to England where he wrote all of the songs on his new album Jettison the Valley. The change of environment, and his rediscovery of early British influences including Richard Thompson, Nick Drake and John Cale sparked a powerful shift in perspective, which led him to write his most cohesive and personal work to date.  Other than the pedal steel featured on two songs, Tanton engineers and plays every instrument on the album.  His old friend and collaborator Marisa Nadler contributes lead vocals to "Jettison the Valley", and Sharon Van Etten sings on "Twenty-Nine Palms" and "Through the Garden Gates".   

More about Jettison the Valley in his own words: 
"Jettison the Valley began in a little dot of a town outside Bristol called Hambrook in the Fall of 2013. I had just moved to England with my girlfriend where we lived in a caravan on her family's plot of land with the M5 motorway on one side, and a horse farm on the other.  To get away from the incessant low rumbling of cars, I often walked along the area's ancient public footpaths that carve strange ways through the countryside. On those walks, my previous 30 years in America billowed and collapsed in front of me. As I stood there in the blowback, the constant push of time seemed to finally relent, and I found enough distance from it to see my past in clear broad strokes.  After a few months we moved to Oxford and lived in a little attic apartment up on a hill. I spent most days watching the weather roll through the valley and writing these songs about my relationship ending.  Eventually, I felt I had to come back to the states to record them.  I consider this my first solo record. The other two releases I've put out under my own name since 2005 were simply collections of scattered recordings, mixtapes essentially. Jettison was written in one long sitting, each song feeding the next."

~ Lyrics:

I was walking after midnight 
Three AM to be exact 
Crossing city limits 
A heavy coat upon my back 

Counting strangers as I passed them 
All were hurried, eyes ahead 
There is no trusting after midnight 
When we're just looking for our bed 

But I stared out from the overpass 
On the downtown haze 
Hailed a cab and headed toward it 
In a bleary daze 

The driver was slipping out 
Could hardly keep awake 
I prodded him with bony finger 
And we rode swerving to someplace 

Riding 

I pointed to the densest neon 
Made a motion to depart 
When I stepped out the streets were empty 
I let the color filled my heart 

And with it full I asked forgiveness 
With it full I asked for strength 
I asked it of the swirling neon 
And let my wish list turn to blank 

It was enough to pose the question 
I expected no reply 
But spun around found my way home 
And hit the sheets by morning time

Neon

LYRICS:
Was in the way you put your coffee down
there was something on your chest

The days keep dragging on and on
I got a bag of old regrets

You said the whole shebang
The crumbly bits
Aw babe I want much more than this
Okay sera, sera, sera, sera

Don’t go, don’t go
Don’t go making something out of nothing
Don’t go
What do you think it would change?

In a dream you saw a memory
Held a sign that said confess
Nostalgia she’s a shit disease
It’s a shame to reminisce

I want hippie love
Future sex
5am French cigarettes
Okay, okay, okay sera sera

Don’t go, don’t go
Don’t go making something out of nothing
Don’t go
What do you think it would change?

Maybe I’m not enough
It's all coming around again
Maybe I’m not enough

Don’t go making something out of nothing
Don’t go making something out of nothing
What do you think
What do you think it would change?

Dark Dark Dark - Tell Me

C Duncan’s highly anticipated third album sees the Scottish multi-instrumentalist ditch his bedroom studio and work with other producers, engineers and musicians for the first time. “This was the biggest shift in dynamic for me,” he explains, “having always worked alone, it was a daunting prospect but one I knew I had to explore.” Navigating themes of love, anxiety and sexuality, ‘Health’ – produced by Elbow’s Craig Potter - is a deeply personal record that delves into a world Duncan had previously felt uneasy exploring.
