Antony And The Johnsons - Cripple And The Starfish

"Son" by Distance, Light & Sky taken from the new album "Casting Nets" coming 11/21/2014 at Glitterhouse: http://tinyurl.com/mwgw5ey

Distance, Light and Sky are: Chris Eckman (The Walkabouts, Dirtmusic), Chantal Acda (Isbells, Sleepingdog) and Eric Thielemans (EARR ensemble).

"Distance, Light & Sky" - Not the title of a post new-age novel, nor the christmas wishes of some purple haired granny after a wizardly seasoned apple cake, nope. Chantal, Chris and Eric (we might as well get familiar right away) are happily lost together in this surrealistic menage a trois. Picture a carpet in some West-African nomad's tent or no, even better imagine that we see our 3 heroes picturing themselves on that imaginary carpet sharing stories, songs, visions and dance (one can always dream). To celebrate the moment and all those many moments and heroes before and after who are and were and will be there to celebrate many more moments and this we hope ad infinitum. Yes dear reader (are you still there?) - this is serious business! Therefore we must keep things light.

In a world on fire our 3 heroes decided to step down and become Distance, Light and Sky. Coming together through a desire to build and share an imaginative space for their songs and sounds, where there is a place to connect to a world family of storytellers, singers, griots, shamans, preachers, fools and players a space where time is never only now but past and future together in that now from that space now they are happy to present Casting Nets. Their first album. Recorded at Sono Studios near Prague during the spring of 2014, together with the kindred spirit and good soul Phill Brown behind the studio cockpit, this album came about like a spring breeze. Effortless (well, except for too many weird Czech greek salads and Schnitzels), graceful, as a result of a gentle sharing mood and generous spirits.

At the end of December 2013, Christmas looming and the New Year just around the corner, Phosphorescent played a four-night stand at the Music Hall Of Williamsburg in Brooklyn; and for four-nights running, blew the roof off the place.  Matthew Houck, fronting his seven-piece band, plus an auxiliary string trio deployed throughout the set, played for more than 10 hours, all recorded and eventually edited down to the 19 tracks that appear on the new three-album set, Phosphorescent Live At The Music Hall, out 2/17 on Dead Oceans.

Inspired by live albums such as Bob Dylan’s Hard Rain, Houck envisioned an album that, rather than play like a greatest hits collection, would present songs from throughout his catalog in new ways, representative of how the songs have grown and transformed over the years in the live setting. Phosphorescent were coming to the end of almost a year of hard touring behind 2013’s Muchacho before the four Brooklyn Music Hall shows, (one of which was a solo performance by Houck), and the ability of Houck’s songs to morph and expand is showcased here through these revelatory performances. 

Live At the Music Hall spans nearly 10 years and four Phosphorescent albums total, including 2005’s Aw Come Aw Wry, 2007’s Dead Oceans debut Pride, breakout 2010 album Here’s To Taking It Easy, and ultimately, 2013’s transformative Muchacho. The Phosphorescent live line-up here features Ricky Ray Jackson on guitar and pedal steel, pianist Scott Stapleton, drummer Christopher Marine, bassist Rustine Bragaw, percussionist David Torch and organ / keyboards player Jo Schornikow.

“Playing those four shows, it was clear something special was going on,” says Houck. “After eight months of touring, we’d gotten to a really good point where we weren’t quite exhausted yet with the material, but we’d had enough time to really grow with the songs. So we were in that sweet spot where we were pulling something great out of the songs every night.” Without a doubt, Live At The Music Hall is an inspiring document of a band at the peak of their powers.

Clogs are a mostly instrumental project led by Bryce Dessner and Australia's Padma Newsome, both men familiar from their membership in the acclaimed rock band, The National. But don't call Clogs a side project. Their existence predates The National, and Clogs have released five widely acclaimed albums -- a highly melodic debut THOM'S NIGHT OUT (2001), then the experimental polyphonies of LULLABY FOR SUE (2003), the minimalist explorations of STICK MUSIC (2004), the post-classical beauty of LANTERN (2006) and finally THE CREATURES IN THE GARDEN OF LADY WALTON (2010), a progressive song-cycle featuring performances by Sufjan Stevens, Matt Berninger of The National &amp; Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond.
