Mary Halvorson - Cloudward (Vinyl Unboxing)

'Cloudward' features eight new compositions by guitarist/composer Mary Halvorson she performs with her sextet Amaryllis—the improvisatory band that performed on her acclaimed 2022 albums 'Amaryllis' and 'Belladonna': Patricia Brennan (vibraphone), Nick Dunston (bass), Tomas Fujiwara (drums), Jacob Garchik (trombone), and Adam O’Farrill (trumpet). Laurie Anderson is featured on the track "Incarnadine." "All the music on 'Cloudward' was written in 2022 … when things started moving forward," Halvorson says. "Air travel had resumed, and we were once again cloudward … This band, for me, was quite simply working, both musically and personally, and the main thing I felt while writing the music was optimism."

I do understand the pleasant physicality of a vinyl. Believe me, I’m old enough to have done a lot of that. But if her recording was made on digital equipment, it’s pretty senseless to print it in an analogue medium. It’s a commercial gimmick. Nothing more. Mary, did you make this record on reel to reel tape recorders? If not, don’t try and cheat your fans into buying something more expensive that won’t give credit to the sound. Thanks.
