a note about this track

Andre Evans was the mastermind behind Evans Pyramid, a seasoned performer and session player in Boston throughout the '70s. Andre is the creator of many unique disco and boogie tracks including the sublime, "Never Gonna Leave You." It wasn’t until years later that rare disco record collectors discovered Evans Pyramid. Since then the records and the man himself have been highly sought after.

Single 2021 via Big Crown
a note about this track

Recorded during the thick of the Covid lockdown, Kevin, Tony, & Eric hunkered down in their studio and turned their energy inward. With all live shows and future tours canceled, Brainstory had no other outlet besides their rehearsal space which had been converted into a makeshift studio. Stepping up to the obstacles of the moment, they recorded and produced an EP of brand new music. Its titled "Ripe" and it releases on Friday 6/25

Marisa Anderson

Hurricane Light w/ William Tyler
single 2021 via Thrill Jockey
a note about this track

William Tyler and Marisa Anderson shared a new single, “Hurricane Light.” The track is set to appear on the duo’s forthcoming collaborative album, Lost Futures, arriving on August 27 via Thrill Jockey. Tyler: "On the day we recorded this, the sky in Portland had this very charged and haunted light to it – the weighted calm before the wind storms and then the wildfires moved in. I think we discussed this song being properly played by two old folks on a pier somewhere over a couple empty bottles of wine. Marisa’s telecaster has so much internal sustain that I think I barely had to even play – the guitar sort of just rang out on its own, I ended up actually playing probably half of the notes I imagined."
