Mitski Miyawaki has always been wary of being turned a symbol, knowing we’re quick to put women on pedestals and even quicker to knock them down. Nonetheless, after the breakout success of 2016’s 'Puberty 2', she was hailed as the new vanguard of indie rock, the one who would save the genre from the white dudes who’ve historically dominated it. Her carefully crafted songs have often been portrayed as emotionally raw, overflowing confessionals from a fevered chosen girl, but in her fifth album, 'Be The Cowboy', Mitski introduces a persona who has been teased but never so fully present until now—a woman in control. “It’s not like it just pours out,” she says about her songwriting, “it’s not like I’m a vessel. For this new record, I experimented in narrative and fiction.” Though she hesitates to go so far as to say she created full-on characters, she reveals she had in mind “a very controlled icy repressed woman who is starting to unravel. Because women have so little power and showing emotion is seen as weakness, this ‘character’ clings to any amount of control she can get. Still, there is something very primordial in her that is trying to find a way to get out.”
Since 'Puberty 2' was released to widespread acclaim, ultimately being named one of the best albums of 2016 by Rolling Stone, TIME, Pitchfork, The Guardian, Entertainment Weekly, New York Times, NPR, and SPIN, Mitski has been touring nonstop. She’s circled the globe as the headliner, as well as opening for The Pixies, and most recently, Lorde. The less glamorous, often overlooked aspect of being a rising star is the sheer amount of work that goes into it. “I had been on the road for a long time, which is so isolating, and had to run my own business at the same time,” Mitski explains, “a lot of this record was me not having any feelings, being completely spent but then trying to rally myself and wake up and get back to Mitski. I was feeling really nihilistic and trying to make pop songs.”
We want our artists to be strong but we also expect them to be vulnerable. Rather than avoiding this dilemma, Mitski addresses directly the power that comes from appearing impenetrable and loneliness that follows. In 'Be The Cowboy', Mitski delves into the loneliness of being a symbol and the loneliness of being someone, and how it can feel so much like being no one. The opening song, “Geyser,” introduces us to a woman who can no longer hold it in. She’s about to burst, unleashing a torrent of desire and passion that has been building up inside.
While recording the album with her long-time producer Patrick Hyland - “little by little in multiple studios between tours” - the pair kept returning to “the image of someone alone on a stage, singing solo with a single spotlight trained on them in an otherwise dark room. For most of the tracks, we didn’t layer the vocals with doubles or harmonies, to achieve that campy ‘person singing alone on stage’ atmosphere. We also made the music swell louder than the main vocals and left in vocal errors like when my voice breaks in “Nobody,” right when the band goes quiet, all for a similar effect.” Not a departure so much as an evolution forward from previous albums, Mitski was careful this time to not include much distorted guitar because “that became something people recognized me for, and I wanted to make sure I didn’t repeat myself or unintentionally create a signature sound.”
The title of the album “is a kind of joke,” Mitski says. “There was this artist I really loved who used to have such a cowboy swagger. They were so electric live. With a lot of the romantic infatuations I’ve had, when I look back, I wonder, Did I want them or did I want to be them? Did I love them or did I want to absorb whatever power they had? I decided I could just be my own cowboy.” There is plenty of buoyant swagger to the album, but just as much interrogation into self-mythology. The music swerves from the cheerful to the plaintive. Mournful piano ballads lead into deceptively up-tempo songs like “Nobody” where our cowboy admits, “I know no one will save me/ I just need someone to kiss”.
The self-abasement of desire is strewn across these 14 songs as our heroine seeks out old lovers for secret trysts that end in disappointment, and cannot help but indulge in the masochistic pleasure of blowing up the stability of long-term partnership. In “A Pearl” Mitski sings of how intoxicating it is to hold onto pain. “I wrote so many songs about being in love and being hurt by love. You think your life is horrible when you’re heartbroken, but when you no longer have love or heartbreak in your life, you think, wasn’t it nice when things still hurt? There’s a nostalgia for blind love, a wonderful heady kind of love.”
Infused with a pink glow and mysterious blue light, the performer in Be The Cowboy makes a pact with her audience that the show must go on, but as we draw nearer to the end, a charming ditty recedes into ghostly, faded melancholia, as an angelic voice breaks through to make direct communication. “Two Slow Dancers” closes out the album in a school gymnasium, though we’re no longer in the territory of adolescence. Instead, we’re projected into the future where a pair of old lovers reunite. “They used have something together that is no longer there and they’re trying to relive it in a dance, knowing that they’ll have to go home and go back to their lives.” It’s funny how only the very old and the very young are permitted to indulge openly in dreams, encouraged to reflect and dwell in poetry. In making an record that is about growing old while Mitski herself is still young, a soft truth emerges: sometimes we feel oldest when we are still young and sometimes who we were when we were young never goes away, leaving behind a glowing pearl that we roll around endlessly in the dark.

想要来点耐听的吗？来自巴黎的Peppermoon以超过十年时间的酝酿，流淌出兼具浪漫与气质的绝美风情，略带感伤的梦幻氛围让人绕樑三日！或许，你贪心了点；想要拥有充满人文艺术气息的左岸，却也捨不下耳鬓厮磨的香颂浪漫情怀；来自巴黎的Peppermoon，却正能满足你这份对美好、纯真的渴望；在一本大型杂志担任美术设计、音乐线记者长达十一年的Pierre Faa，多年来一直有着一份对音乐的梦想；他同时也担任过不少流行乐手的製作人，并创作出许多美丽歌曲，直到他在2006年邂逅了拥有天籁嗓音的Iris Koshlev，才决定组成以披头四歌曲为灵感而命名的Peppermoon，加上优秀的吉他／贝斯手Benoît Pillon，成就了Peppermoon融合艺术与流行、兼具浪漫与气质的绝美风情。
多年来在MySpace累积庞大人气、拥有超过13,000名乐迷的Peppermoon，在2009年终于发行首张专辑《Nos Ballades》；在六○年代如Jane Birkin的巴黎香颂迷醉外表下，蕴含了如Belle＆Sebastian，Tori Amos等民谣摇滚的清新情怀；第一首歌曲「Après l'orage」除了充分展现Iris那情感丰富、轻柔曼妙又扣人心弦的嗓音外，整体音乐编曲也极为成熟、以简单乐音构筑了如梦似幻的丰富层次，甜美中略带感伤的氛围让人绕樑三日。接下来的「Les Petits Miroirs」是Pierre1997年便写成的歌，受到导演尚‧考克多《Orphée》的启发，在Iris的诠释下，一点点对虚幻与真实的疑惑、一点点对情感与实体的徬徨，但终究还是流淌出如蜜糖的甘美情绪，癒疗效果十足，也成为专辑发行前，乐迷呼声最高的一首歌曲。
「Barcelone」如清晨曙光的美妙钢琴拉开这首歌曲明亮的序幕，流畅如溪涧的旋律，绝对是夏日降温的良伴。专辑同名曲「Nos ballades」多了几分豁达的况味，但仍听得出骨子裡那一丝不足为人道的寂寞，一种极为私密的情绪，就在Iris如天使般的嗓音中，缓缓地展现出一抹宽慰的微笑。 略带诙谐、活泼的「Bed and Breakfast」后，「Un coin tranquille à Shibuya」歌唱着Pierre前往涩谷的经验，在极度喧闹都会中意外发现的静谧桃源，以及那些做萝丽塔、歌德系女孩给他的启发，是一份独特的旅游记忆。
充满活力、与其它歌曲风格大异其趣的「Le thé（feat. Timothy Rabbit）」以充满活力的姿态，自嘲了一次失恋的纪念。温柔美丽的「Un ange qui passe」与以吉他营造出清新氛围的「Pour l'instant」之后，「Les Rues Tranquilles」也以轻快的旋律，诉说了身为旅人，在陌生城市迷路、探索的那份新鲜感与小小冒险；Iris的嗓音在此听来特别轻俏甜美。
串场的演奏曲「A Rainy Sunday Waltz」之后，「Josephine」再次展开一个有着微亮晨光与露珠、但却是甜美梦境逝去后的清晨；「Et l'on sème」诉说着对时光的感叹、对人生逝去的疑惑，但清新吉他、甜蜜美丽的旋律，仍展现了对生命的眷恋与一份不会消逝的希望。
如果对人生有着一丝一毫的倦怠与疑惑，那麽，聆听《Nos Ballades》，的确是一帖暂时使心灵获得癒疗与静谧的良方；在Iris时而甜美、时而梦幻、时而低吟的温柔歌声中，伴随着充满诗意的美丽旋律，音乐，本来就是一件理当让人如此享受的事。
本专辑CD採用最能满足发烧友挑剔音响美学之75厘米金片压製。金片特有的高折射率可以让CD唱盘解读出更多正确的讯号，因此解析度大为提升，改善失真所造成的毛噪感，整个音场变的更开阔、细节丰富而自然，同时在人声的表现上更是高贵优雅而甜美。

The amazing story is well known, but bears repeating: Miss Li debuted in November 2006 and within one year released three blockbuster albums and a Best of -compilation including 8 unique tracks. In the same period, she recorded an immortal duet with Lars Winnerbäck. Then followed intense and successful touring in 14 countries, including an appearance on "Allsång på Skansen", until it was time for album number four - "Dancing The whole way home" which was released 1:st of April 2009 and was an additional boost. Containing four Major Track Hits, and songs placed in TV-series such as Weeds, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives and priority releases in Germany, Japan, France, Benelux, South Korea. On March 16:th, it is time for the sequel, album numer five entitled "Beats & Bruises", a tremendous album written and produced by Miss Li together with the squire Sonny Boy Gustafsson and who will undoubtedly cement Miss Li's place among the largest and most interesting Swedish artists. The first single "I can't get you off my mind" is already a big hit, just as it should. An extensive tour in Sweden will start in Miss Li's hometown Borlänge, on March 31:st, and after that festivals and releases in the rest of the world will follow.

经历了三年多的沉淀于成长,丢火车的第一张正式专辑<<火车日记>>于2011年底上市.
限量1000张,环保牛皮纸包装.收录8首录音室作品与2首伴奏.

这是一张意欲留白的专辑，
在这个信息爆炸的时代。
让我们坐下来，陪陪心里的那个“我”。
一切都越来越快。观影搜演员，听歌看文案。这张专辑恐怕不是初听即惊艳的耀眼之物。倘若将绚丽超前的音乐专辑比作利刃，这张专辑可能是一把钝剑。
大音无声，好剑无锋。
“飞光飞光，劝你一杯酒！”
敬时间一杯酒，让时间同我们一起歇一会儿。听听这张同时适用于“煮酒”和“煎茶”的专辑。
用一颗匠心，酿一壶浊酒，饮一杯苦茶，寻一分古意。
倾听是你最好的知己，带你找回心中那份掷地有声的侠骨柔情。

鲸鱼马戏团《鲸鱼马戏团Vol.2. Whisper》
虾米音乐人寻光计划编号XA-006
两岸同步诚意上线
特别版黑胶预售：
深海里的鲸鱼悄然探出水面，默默凝视岸边城市明灭闪烁的灯火，
他在猜测，那里热闹的喧哗，和这里宁静的孤独，到底有何不同？
马戏团的小丑结束一天表演，默默在镜子前卸下色彩斑斓的面具，
他换上了便服，撑开手中伞，走出帐篷，抬头望向飘着雨的天空。
扑面而来的风，越过大海，越过城市，包裹着无数个渴望拥抱的身体，
内心开始有一个声音发出温柔的低语，越来越靠近，越来越清晰，
出发吧，出发吧，从身体到灵魂，从过去到未来，就现在，出发吧。
85后天才独立音乐人 都市人的梦境构建师 李星宇
拥有记忆触发和瞬间移动功能的魔法音符
2015全新纯音乐+田野录音创作大碟 【鲸鱼马戏团Vol.2 Whisper】
无论你停留在哪个角落 无论你隐匿于哪个坐标
记得这世界总会有一段旋律 陪伴你前往内心想要抵达的地方
9首最原始声音记录 10首最动人纯音旋律 2首最神秘隐藏曲目
一次性完整精彩收录 每个人都不容错过的【声音漫游指南】
遇见懂得自己独特频率的Whisper 白昼黑夜 感动倾听
★李星宇历时四年打造“Whisper” 19首曲目构建声音与生命的对话
“生活在别处”，米兰·昆德拉把这句子写成小说，兰波写成诗歌，我们则身体力行地把这句子过成现实——现实是，有千千万万个场景让你填满每天密不透风的时间，也有千奇百怪种理由让你选择一成不变或马上改变，只是这样的生活，是否就是最想要的生活？我们探索着答案，想听见心中真实的回答。
而李星宇用《鲸鱼马戏团Vol.2 Whisper》告诉我们：不要着急，不要刻意，继续生活的问答游戏，慢慢靠近最终的谜底。打开这张唱片，倾听那些从心底碰撞出的声音，它们真实地渗透在时间罅隙每一处，不管我们的身体和灵魂是否已经如想象中渴望的那般自由，至少，我们还可以清醒，不麻木。
在《鲸鱼马戏团》于2014年10月推出后，相隔五个月李星宇即带来第二部曲“Whisper”，而从酝酿到完成，这个85后“老男孩”筹备已久。四年前一次欧洲旅行中，他随身带了一个录音机，听到有意思的声音就录下来，在回到工作室反复听那些录音时，脑海里闪过很多画面和片段，开始回想当时的心境并为这些片段创作音乐。后来，去的地方越来越远，甚至深入人烟罕至的丛林，高原，只是想要去听一听“散落在地球各个角落的被人们所忽视的声音”。2015年初，在以“第一个入选柏林电影节天才训练营的中国作曲家”身份结束在德国的学习，转道前往巴黎的途上，李星宇意识到了一种奇妙的重叠。“这张专辑的起点是4年前的巴黎，此时似乎是命运注定，在即将完成唱片的时候，我又再次回到了巴黎。这仿佛是一部声音纪录片，音乐就像手持摄影机的导演，在一个个缓慢而安静长镜头下，将这些年所经历的过往一幕一幕呈现给自己。”
如果第一张《鲸鱼马戏团》是静止的声音故事书，分门别类收录李星宇用旋律、念白、声音、文字为我们编织的小说、散文及童话，也构成一部城市生活的原声OST，那么《鲸鱼马戏团Vol.2 Whisper》真正变成一部流动的电影。李星宇用9个原汁原味声音片段，10首演奏与演唱混搭的纯音乐及歌曲，串起他在各个地方各个场景记录下的故事：房间、阁楼、薰衣草田、周末市集、湖边、桥湾营地、水稻田、宅院中庭、火车厢、海边、瀑布前、沙滩、雨林、茅草屋、森林……我们跟随他而漫游其中，路过微风吹过的田野，下着暴雨的亚马逊雨林，抹香鲸一跃而出的海面，无论你停留在哪个角落，无论你隐匿于哪个坐标，记得这世界总会有一段旋律，陪伴你前往内心想要抵达的地方。
这是声音与生命的对话，也是一趟不可思议的旅行！43.8288，5.1618 44.5271，-110.4157 -8.523,115.2538 -6.9233，107.6102……一连串数字是需要破译的密码，暗示“Whisper”会出现在地球任何角落。跟第一张相比，依然包揽全部音乐创作和制作的李星宇表达更加恣意，越发重视声音和旋律的结合，从第一首《风景》前奏的水流，到中间大段大段风、雨、海浪拍打、鸟叫、蝉鸣、人语、瀑布流泻……甚至有长达十分钟环境音片段，完整贯穿于10首歌曲，让一次性聆听19首曲目的过程变成浩大又转瞬即逝的精彩体验。他表示：“我希望大家在进入专辑的时候安静下来，有一种期待也好，或者说是强迫听众去倾听，用心。结尾处音乐会悄悄离开，可能在大家发现之前，就已经结束，只留下一段雨声。或许在那个时间，每个人心中都有自己的旋律吧。”
★李星宇携手虾米内地台湾同步发片 热爱的光芒照亮寻梦之途
做一个独立音乐人多困难，从来不是我们想要表达的重点，但做一个独立音乐人有多快乐，是我们可以分享的体验。比如，去年第一张专辑《鲸鱼马戏团》首发两周后实体“足足”卖出了200张，最终让李星宇收回印刷成本，就是让他感到无比骄傲与幸福的大事！环境如此恶劣，行业如此混乱，可是好的音乐人还在坚持，也收获到乐迷们身体力行的支持，无论花钱购买唱片，还是透过音乐网站和社交平台评论，对于李星宇来说都是莫大鼓舞。
而“寻光计划”的出现，让李星宇感受到更多暖意。作为虾米音乐人对平台音乐人的全面扶植计划，“寻光计划”用实实在在资金投入为音乐人提供帮助，从企划制作宣传发行各个渠道为唱片进行投入，李星宇凭借第一张专辑《鲸鱼马戏团》取得的热烈反响入选其中，以宽松的条件和虾米合作推出了第二张专辑《鲸鱼马戏团Vol.2 Whisper》，并在内地和台湾同步发片，让自己的作品传播到了更广领域。“国内确实没有第二家这样支持音乐人的公司，至少拿到这些钱，我可以安心创作这张专辑而不是要随时跑去挣钱维持生计了。”
是的，一路走来，这个为梁晓雪、张萱、范世琪、周子琰许多个性歌手担任过制作人，曾加入“嘿乐队”发行两张唱片，获得过诸多奖项的85后生人，而立之年还是无法依靠纯粹热爱的东西养活自己，还是要为广告、动画、游戏、影视剧做各种配乐来维持生计，虽然两条路线并没有高低之分，但第一张专辑通过坚持取得的小小成绩，终于因为用心与才华，得到寻梦之途上更多的帮助。
作为听众的我们，也因此得到更深入和李星宇的音乐交流的机会，看到他更多“任性”闪光点，比如在专辑包装设计、MV及平面视觉拍摄风格延续第一张极简而充满想象力的整体风格，并坚持内地版唱片用黑胶形式发行，同时收录两首试听网站不会放出的超值曲目《风景Landscape Vol.2》、《雨林的鲍莱罗 Borelo of the amazon》。在大多数年轻人已经模糊了卡带与CD记忆的年代，他想用更绝对形式来体现音乐的价值，唤起人们对音乐的尊重，“黑胶就好像人一样，是有生命的，每播放一遍都会消耗它的寿命。我希望人们可以偶尔不把这张专辑里的作品只当做背景音乐，而是真的认认真真去欣赏。所以，黑胶是最合适的载体，而且我不会公布黑胶唱片里的音乐的数字版本。”
★《鲸鱼马戏团Vol.2 Whisper》曲目 李星宇和小伙伴等你发现惊喜
这绝不是一张只限定在旅途中打发时光的唱片，它继续安慰四处漂泊的追梦人和夜不能寐的失眠者，也给每个正在某场景重复生活的人提供一次和“Whisper”自由逃亡的机会！探索内心想要记得的声音、画面与情节，带领我们穿越回最初想象的画面，带着《鲸鱼马戏团Vol.2 Whisper》的所有声音、旋律和歌唱开始“漫游”吧，无边无际，陪伴在每一天每一个时刻，白昼或黑夜。
是清晨第一道微光朦朦胧胧跃入视线，你即将起床或入睡的时候，
是置身于或者拥挤或者空旷的城市，你面无表情盯着流动广告的时候，
是行色匆匆踩过路边积留的雨水，你和骑着单车的陌生人交错而过的时候，
是耳畔嘈杂车流声渐渐渐渐平息，你拿起一本书又不知从哪一页翻起的时候，
是有一天你发现自己还有好多梦想等待实现，而继续努力，相信可以实现的时候。
1.风景 Landscape
和记忆一样，由无数的片段组成，循环般在脑海中播放。每一次都会更加清晰，每一次也都有会有所区别。偶尔在一个念头之后，它又会戛然而止。
2.雪 Snowing
已经很久没有见过雪了，在这个逐渐令人陌生的城市。记忆里，冬日清晨拉开窗帘的那一刻，时间仿佛静止，定格在可以称为美好回忆的相册里。小时候楼下的院子里有一个废弃的钢架，我一直当它是一艘飞船，想象着有一天它会带我去到那个世界上最远的角落。
3.43.8288，5.1618
4.左岸 Stalingrad Station
回忆一段在巴黎的日子。（很荣幸在巧合中致敬了已故法国作曲家萨蒂）
5.艾维尼翁 Avignon
1000毫米/秒吹过的微风，1000万只蜜蜂振动的翅膀，1000次心跳时间的行走，1000米高空漂泊的白云。这是一种无法用语言形容的感觉，是自然界美丽的协奏曲。在我看来，薰衣草代表的不是浪漫，而是一种田园的情怀。勤劳、安逸、宁静。走进花田，坐在树荫下，闭上眼睛慢慢感受：那扑鼻的香味乘着蜜蜂振翅的声波，像海浪一般拂面而来。
6.44.5271，-110.4157
7.桥湾 Bay Bridge
李星宇献声演唱作品。在美国黄石公园桥湾营地与世隔绝的日子里，每天清晨会用钢锅煮好咖啡，然后开车进入森林。你不知道会在那样的地方遇到什么，也许是一只鹿，甚至一头熊，也或许只是空无一人的寂静。
8.-8.523,115.2538
9.-6.9233，107.6102
10.时常 Always
时常会有一些念头，在你沉默时会突然偷偷溜进脑海，你告诉自己，你快乐，也满足。铁轨周而复始地重复单调的节奏，坐在下一趟列车里，你不知道未来将要驶向何方。
11.-8.6049,115.3258
12.十五次的约定 Whisper
鲸平均每天只有15次浮上海面呼吸，而每次呼吸却只有短短几秒。在这短短几秒的记忆里，只有海浪与空气摩擦的沙沙声和海鸟们讲述的一段段快乐的故事。鲸总是静静的聆听，随即又再次沉入深深的大海之中。
13.-25.6953，-54.4294
14.科巴卡巴纳 Praia de Copacabana
傍晚时分，我沿着科巴卡巴纳海滩散步。很有趣的是，海把声音一分为二，左边是一波一波的浪涛涌向岸边，右边是热闹非凡的沙滩和城市。不知为何我忽然想起巴塞罗那听到的街头音乐，或许是因为拉丁文化千丝万缕的联系吧。
15.-3.5407,-60.0129
16.-3.5513,-60,0102
17.老友 Old Friend
那一天我骑着自行车穿过整座岛屿来到了最南边的海岸，我也不清楚自己为什么要去那里，就觉得看着海，心情可以变好。于是我坐在石头上，看着海面发呆。不知不觉我好像听到自己的声音，从远方，徐徐地传来。
18.47.2978，119.9019
19.雨中庭院 Rain In Bandung
在万隆的时候，我住在当地人的家里。那个建筑很特别，每一个房间和客厅都可以通向一个露天的庭院。有一个雨天的夜晚，我坐在客厅的屋檐下看着雨落在庭院的石板地上，忽然觉得清净自在。我关掉原本在播放的音乐，只是安安静静听着落雨的声音。

The Candle Thieves的首张专辑
来自英国伦敦的独立乐队.由成员Scott McEwan以及The Glock组成.乐队的名字The Candle Thieves缘于The Glock的一个癖好-在别人的婚礼派对上偷蜡烛.

Frames front man Hansard has teamed up with classically trained Czech vocalist and pianist, Irglova to produce this album of affecting songs and compositions. From straight songs to piano instrumentals, "The Swell Season" affords an insight into a whole other side of Glen/The Frames, as well as offering a perfect introduction to this very talented newcomer. The record takes its name from author Josef Skvorecky's book of the same name. Set in Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia, the story centers on one man's love of music and his pursuit of unattainable women as a country comes unglued. Like the book, the record deals with the pains and hopes of those struggling to make sense of their lives.

In 2006, after eight years of fronting the critically acclaimed Colorado-based band, Newcomers Home, and releasing her first solo record, Watch Them Fall, as a side project—singer/songwriter Katie Herzig retreated to the solitude of her bedroom studio. There, she single-handedly recorded and produced Weightless, a tour-de-force of innovative sonics and songwriting whose tracks have been prominently featured on NPR, KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic, E.R., Smallville, and, most recently, on two episodes of television’s highest-rated drama, Grey’s Anatomy.
Following the release of Weightless, Herzig left Colorado for Nashville and immediately started to catch the attention of other artists. Her song “Heaven’s My Home” received a 2007 Grammy nomination for best country performance by The Duhks. She was also invited to open shows for The Fray and join PASTE Magazine and American Songwriter Magazine sponsored tours.
Performing Songwriter Magazine wrote, “Katie Herzig possesses gravity-defying powers on her latest release, balancing heavy and mournful lyrics with light pop melodies that bounce and float into the stratosphere.” PASTE Magazine’s Jason Killingsworth said, “Katie Herzig has a whimsical side that I love. Her music doesn’t take itself too seriously, and the lyrics always [have] a sharp emotional edge to them. I’m a huge fan.”
And now, on May 13, 2008, Katie Herzig’s fans can expect her most adventurous and satisfying album yet: Apple Tree.
While Apple Tree is every bit as melodic and emotionally incisive as Herzig’s previous records, it is nonetheless a bold and assertive step forward. According to Herzig, “Weightless was very much a do-it-yourself, homemade project, but the recording of Apple Tree became very collaborative and pushed me to places, performance and production- wise, that I might not have gone on my own.”
Working as her own producer, Herzig teamed up with Nashville multi-instrumentalist and producer Cason Cooley (The Normals, Derek Webb) for five tracks—as well as with two members of The Fray team, producer Aaron Johnson and guitarist David Welsh on the track ‘Hologram.’ Herzig: “The song ‘Hologram’ was actually written partly in response to a conversation I’d had with Aaron, who said he missed how I used to belt when I sang with the band. So it felt appropriate to record that song with him.”
Though Herzig is the sole author of most of Apple Tree, two of the songs (‘I Will Follow’ and ‘I Want To Belong To You’) were co-written with well-known songwriter Kim Richey. “I’ve learned so much writing with Kim,” Herzig says. “Especially about patience. Allowing the songs to take the time they need to develop, rather than rushing to finish them and ultimately settling.”
Patience is also a trademark of producer Cason Cooley’s contribution to Apple Tree. “I’m always in such a hurry to get my ideas recorded,” Herzig admits, “but Cason helped slow me down. He is an explorer with an incredible ear for melodies. He also helped hand-pick many of the musicians we asked to play on the record.” Nashville recording artists Sandra McCracken and Ruby Amanfu also lent their voices to a few songs on the project.
As on Weightless, Herzig again worked side-by-side with Grammy winner Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss, John Prine), who mixed the album, helping to massage two years’ worth of songs and the work of three producers into a cohesive artistic statement.
The result is Apple Tree: a spellbinding, uniquely immersive listening experience that deftly manages to be at once playful and impassioned—challenging and comfortable—intimate and epic.
Which is exactly what listeners have come to expect from Katie Herzig.
