aco-bracoWer oder was verbirgt sich dahinter?
Daniel Romano, Fred Squire und Julie Doiron. Die Beschreibung auf deren MySpace-Seite beschreibt schon sehr gut, was einen auf dem Album erwartet:
Dan took the train to Sackville, NB in the summer of 2009, with a couple of acoustic guitars and a couple of folk songbooks. A tape machine was set up in Fred’s garage. A microphone was placed on the floor in front of a semi-circle of folding chairs. The weather was good that week, the garage door was open, cars would pass, as would kids on bicycles. Arrangements were made up quickly, harmonies worked out, lyrics written on long scraps of paper, verses picked and chosen. Dan and Fred playing guitars, all three singing together. The songs were put down quickly, with no overdubs or edits, and the record was finished in a couple of days.
A record of folk music, three part harmonies, guitar picking and strumming. Songs of romance, justice, murder, loafing, complaint, horses and gambling. Old songs, in the public domain. Public songs for singing together.
Was mich an dem Album sehr anzieht, ist die Entspanntheit, die den Vortrag der Stücke prägt. Keiner tut sich hervor, sondern es geht ganz um das Miteinander des Musizierens. Dadurch bekommt das Projekt einen sehr eigenen Charme, eine Beiläufigkeit, die ich sehr schön finde.
