Brandon De La Cruz - Two Kilos of Blue (Vinyl)
$55.00
Regular price $44.00Two Kilos of Blue is the fourth album from the Kirikiriroa-based Portland, Oregon ex-pat alt-folk artist Brandon De La Cruz.
All tracks on Two Kilos Of Blue may be considered a reflection of De La Cruz' tenure as a staffer at Mississippi Records while living in Portland, OR. Samples of folk and country blues recordings from the early 20th century issued by Mississippi are used by the artist to subtly layer and build his arrangements.
The record brings together songs written over a 10-year period, linked thematically by love, loss and possession. Painstakingly recorded and arranged over two years at the artist’s studio in Kirikiriroa, each track is a balancing act of consideration and spontaneity.
Simultaneous, unfolding layers of voices, samples and guitars reveal a narrative steeped in longing and mystery. Many of the songs directly invoke emotional and cultural associations with Blue, while others imply it through their atmosphere.
Limited blue coloured vinyl.
Tracklist:
Untitled for Ruth
Francine
All I Saw Was Blue
Blue Ghost
The Moon Is Still Right There
I Love You Babe
Disguise
Forget My Love
Blue Angel

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
