The album, which features Peter Buck on 8 of the 11 tracks as well as Scott McCaughey (The Minus 5, The Baseball Project, Young Fresh Fellows) has been 3 years in the making. This is a new chapter in Viciconte’s ever-evolving musical trajectory, a career marked by creative integrity and an almost painful honesty which attracts fans from high and low that still believe in the redemptive power of rock and roll. Even better, KEXP featured the first single “Save Me” on their Song of the Day podcast.
It’s finally here! Today is the official release day for Fernando Viciconte’s long-awaited 7th full-length release, “ Leave The Radio On“. Posted in News, Press Release, Videos Tagged Charlie Maxton, Hard Landing, Mike Coykendall, Oregon, Portland, Pysch Rock Fernando releases "Leave The Radio On" The ride isn’t over till the big carnie kicks you off.” The video is dedicated to or “The lucky ones who got to spend a little extra time at the county fair. Then, if you’re really lucky, you live long enough that you gotta deal and it’s scary. “If you’re lucky, you can procrastinate dealing with certain issues for quite some time,” says Coykendall. The song itself is one of deep personal reflection. The video was produced by Coykendall and long-time friend (and fellow Portland musician), Charlie Maxton. Today, we are happy to present the first video from the record, for the ballad “Hard Landing”. American Standard Time calls it “a slice of seriously fuzzy, spaced-out folk music”, which seems a pretty accurate description. On July 17, Mike Coykendall released his latest record, Half Past, Present Pending via Fluff and Gravy Records. Posted in Albums, News, Press Release Tagged anna tivel, Folk Music, Lincoln Crockett, Nathaniel Talbot, sam howard, Singer-songwriter, washington, Whidbey Island Mike Coykendall releases "Hard Landing" official video “simple, pure, haunting” – Vortex Magazine “It’s a wealth of lyrical vision, complex guitar playing, and expert musicianship a work about people’s connection to one another through the earth, disguised as a folk album about farming.” – American Standard Time
His approach to music feels like that of someone who treats it as a craft handed down and honed, like the tilling of soil or the carving of wood. Tracking guitar and vocals live and solo, usually in just one or two takes, Talbot then brought in his quartet of Portland all-stars, Anna Tivel (violin, vocals), Sam Howard (double bass) and Lincoln Crockett (mandolin) and Benji Nagel (dobro), whose auxiliary instrumentation is used intentionally and sparingly to great effect, filling in and conversing with the core of Talbot’s playing and singing. “Challenging what folk music is capable of,” says Seattle Weekly, “Talbot’s powerful, uplifting voice harnesses a country twang complemented by lush acoustic finger-picking and a violin that feels like it was birthed next to a babbling brook in the mountains.” Channeling the lyrical prowess and gritty charm of Anais Mitchell on tracks like “As the Way,” and the concrete characterization in the work of Elliott Smith on tracks like “Able Man,” Talbot stands on the shoulders of generations of folk musicians and Americana singer-songwriters before him. Swamp Rose & Honeysuckle Vine captures the raw, live energy of Talbot’s guitar playing, and has a more stripped-down approach than his previous albums – no drums, fewer string arrangements, and sparse vocal harmonies.
As such, the songs on the album are intimately tied to the lush farmland and windswept vistas of Whidbey Island, deeply rooted in the earth and American traditionalism. On November 20, Nathaniel Talbot wil l release his fourth full-length album, Swamp Rose and Honeysuckle Vine, via Portland’s Fluff and Gravy Records. Nathaniel, who operates an organic vegetable farm on Whidbey Island, WA, works roughly 60 hours a week on the farm every year from March through October.
