The Two Halves is the debut album from Brooklyn-based singer and multi-instrumentalist Finnegan Shanahan. Part travelogue and part song cycle, The Two Halves is an ambitious statement of purpose from the 22-year old Shanahan. Based on a map of the Hudson River Railroad circa 1852, the album is divided into six songs, each one its own small piece of a dream-like narrative — beginning along the Hudson River and gradually moving out over the Catskills, hurtling across the country to the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, and eventually leaving the planet.

Commissioned and recorded by powerhouse new music ensemble Contemporaneous (of which Shanahan is a founding member), The Two Halves balances Shanahan's deft violin work and ethereal vocals with sprawling arrangements of strings, horns, percussion, and electronics.  Musically, the album inhabits the ever-shrinking border between avant-garde composition and lushly-orchestrated folk music and moves seamlessly from passages of breathless beauty to moments of high-energy groove, capturing the breadth of the Hudson Valley itself.

James Elkington
Wintres Woma
LP/CD/Digital
PoB-034
Worldwide release date: 6/30/17

Drawing from British folk, avant-rock, and jazz traditions alike, Wintres Woma—Old English for “the sound of winter”— is James Elkington’s debut solo record, but you’ve likely heard his masterful guitar playing and arranging, even if you didn’t realize it. Elkington (an Englishman living in Chicago) is an inveterate collaborator who brings his lyrical compositional and improvisational sensibilities to any group. He has toured as a band member, recorded, and/or collaborated with Jeff Tweedy, Richard Thompson, Steve Gunn, Michael Chapman, Joan Shelley, Nathan Salsburg and Brokeback, to name just a few of his many enthusiastic admirers. His assured album, recorded at Wilco’s Loft, is baroquely detailed and beautifully constructed, featuring both his baritone vocals and some of Chicago’s finest, including Tomeka Reid.
