Solo album from the singer of Espers?

Looks like the Baird Sisters have put out some cd-rs.

It sounds great!

Tequila Sunrise put out Jack Rose's "Dr. Ragtime" side project. I have feeling this will be released in limited numbers. Well worth the hunt, though.

I still want to hear the original version of this song, too.

new one from meg baird later this year. loved the first one, maybe more than any espers release.

stoked for this

yeah it's good! not as good as the first one, but still really strong. more originals than covers this time, more fleshed out instrumentation.

It's very, very good. It took me over a year to fully absorb Dear Companion, despite its simplicity, so I'm willing to give this one the time it deserves.

really nice dusted review

first impression of this is a lot more positive than my first listen with the last espers album. it's more evocative, gentle and quiet but less mess to clutter whatever it is she's channeling

playing in brooklyn tonight w/ p.g. six and steve gunn...

Really good show, she did a bunch of new album songs with Marc Orleans and Chris Forsythe who play on the album and then a couple solo tunes. Her voice is so moving.

why is marc orleans always out of tune?

Is he? Humidity/

I thought I knew the name Meg Baird from somewhere. Ethan Miller was circulating that soundcloud track around Facebook. Has me hoping that a live set will appear on Dime or somewhere as well as some official studio stuff appearing for sale from somewhere.

damn this is killer.

I find Greg Weeks way more interesting as a solo artist than Meg Baird

but this Heron Oblivion Song is great

weirdly i don't think i've sought out any weeks solo stuff - love Espers though. he's pretty much retired from music, right?

he was on the last (maybe before last) fursaxa album, which i guess is awhile ago now. speaking of people who seem to have disappeared from music making.

I'm pretty sure Espers III was the last project he worked on unless you count guest appearances and production work. my favorite solo album of his is Awake Like Sleep -- droney psych-rock with some nice '60s electric organ/synth lines. it's a lot less guitar-based than Espers, and a couple tracks even remind me of Stereolab. I also really like the Noa Babayof album he produced.

never heard awake like sleep before, this is very good (and on spotify)

meg baird has a new album coming out on drag city in june

this rules yall

i love this record so much. here is a cool article from relix of all place about its recording: http://www.relix.com/articles/detail/refuge_at_the_end_of_san_francisco_eric_bauers_mansion_and_the_new_new_psychedelic

sweet ... older brother just saw them last night in san diego, he was extremely psyched.
was just checking out this Meg Baird cover of the Dead's "To Lay Me Down" (at the end of this WFMU show). part of a fundraiser premium w/ all Dead covers from some pretty cool people.

Yeah, great band. Saw them last spring opening for Kinski so you can imagine that was a hell of a double bill.

is that the avant ghetto premium? his tape from last year was excellent.

they announced a full tour last week, i got my tickets for the nyc date in may.

yeah, that's the avant ghetto thing ... chris forsyth, MV&EE, wooden wand, bunch more of those kinda folks.

i think "oriar" is the best song in the universe currently

^^^this

holy shit this record is so good.

might've been mentioned but this 20-minute jammer is an excellent addendum to the new album: http://heronoblivion.bandcamp.com/track/funeral-funk-49

definitely. also i have added the shroomin biker t shirt to my bandcamp cart like 100 times but havent been able to pull the trigger
