Mary Lattimore & Walt McClements - Rain on the Road (Vinyl)
$66.00
Regular price $50.00Mary Lattimore and Walt McClements are two of contemporary music’s most renowned innovators. Each has managed to expand the perception of their instrument’s capabilities. Lattimore's inventive harp processing and looping has brought the instrument to a new audience. Her genre-agnostic collaborations include work with Kurt Vile, Steve Gunn, Jeff Zeigler, Meg Baird, and Thurston Moore.
McClements, who tours as a member of Weyes Blood, is an acclaimed composer in his own right, sculpting glacial atmospherics from the accordion. The Los Angeles based duo became quick friends on overlapping tours, sharing both a drive to push the sonic possibilities of their instruments and roots in North Carolina.
Mary Lattimore and Walt McClements debut collaboration Rain on the Road blossomed out of that time spent on the road together, capturing the liminal existence of touring life in deeply cinematic compositions. Recorded in the cozy setting of McClements’ apartment during a rainy December in LA, Rain on the Road unfurls as a series of sonic vignettes, rolling landscapes hewn from longform improvisations for harp and accordion.
The duo’s subtle use of field recordings woven into the album’s lithe atmospheres evoke their travels transporting the listener. The resulting music is beautifully unhurried, meditative and joyously expansive.
Tracklist:
1. Stolen Bells
2. The Poppies, the Wild Mustard, the Blue-Eyed Grass
3. We Waited for the Bears to Leave
4. Nest of Earrings
5. The Top of Thomas Street

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.
