ATWATER




I am very pleased to announce the release of my good friend Clint Heidorn's debut full length LP titled "Atwater".

These are quite beautiful compositions made from acoustic guitars, cellos, violins, field recordings, sporadic percussion, and a variety of other devices to create an old vintage "antiquarian" feel. Like finding an old book in the corner of your dirty, cobwebbed attic that is filled with stories of depression and sadness, yet hope and beauty, that only falls apart and turns to dust the more pages in you turn.

I am bad with comparisons, but maybe it is reminiscent of some of the newer sounds of Earth or maybe the quieter parts of Godspeed you Black Emperor!

This release is more of a passionate art-object than some half-assed, sloppily put together album some people seem to be churning out on a conveyor belt lately. I can definitely see this album put up on shelves or walls on display to the world, rather than stuffed haphazardly inside your run of the mill record storage receptacle. Hopefully you will fall into the first group and be one of the lucky few to own one the mere 148 copies produced of this masterwork.

Hand-stained, hand-numbered, and hand-silkscreened, including hand-affixed bones of local trees. Includes a photograph and album credit insert printed on 80# linen card stock, and a download code.

Oh, by the way, I had the extreme pleasure of drawing the "Atwater" logo for this release. So thanks again Clint for making me a part of this work of art, no matter how small of a contribution it was.
