the creek rose: a flood

the songs will take a little longer than expected. elephants and all must be included. i didn't want to rush things. there is a little bit more tracking to be done. NOISE!! PRETTY NOISE. we will begin mixing in january. meanwhile if you would like a preview...we will be playing much of what is on the new record at the sunset show. portland band, weinland and local songwriter j. wong sharing the evening...it promises to be a good night full of good songs. hope you can make it. 

 in all sincerity,

shows shows shows...record and etc.
they are all going to be fun they are all with great bands you should come to all of them. every one.

there will be a few shows in the fine fall month of october. these particular shows will be on a couple of mondays and a sunday (a MATINEE, i am very exited). I will have accompaniment for all of these activities including but not limited to the following: cello( the miraculous maren haynes) percussion (the mighty andrew rudd) and bass (the other -worldly  gavin tull-esterbrook). It will all sound very beautiful and, i hope, catalytic. 

 kory kruckenberg of VU studios will be finishing up the recording with us (me+strings: glorious strings) on all hallows eve. 

 lord willin, creek don't rise, devil don't interfere there will be a cd release in december at the sunset tavern.

this is how it goes:

 

andrew rudd (pablo trucker) and i are in the process of making a record. we have used a four track for the drums and guitars and vocals which we recorded live in my apartment. andrew was in the living room and i was in my room. we partially shut the door between the spaces to prevent the sound from bleeding over.  i could see andrew's brow he could see my feet.  (this helps one keep time) we are in the process of looking for an empty theatre (or acoustic box or cathedral or some sort of beautiful) space...to record strings. AND THEN...some other odds and ends la dee das AND THEN there will be mixing and (one would hope) mastering AND THEN rosemary wagner and i will make art AND THEN(!!) you shall listen to the songs. i await this moment with a great hope.  

meanwhile...here are two of the sketches...small bones...which will have flesh and wings (one would think there ought to be....feathers...wings...etc.)too...maren haynes is playing her cello. i am singing my voice and andrew? he is conducting.

Molly Rose draws intricate landscapes of narrative poetry. Her music is as driven by the intrinsic rythms of her words as by whatever nameless muse guides her. There's nothing conventional about her songs, but she's hardly a weirdo folksinger. She's more...

in the words of our own Karla Starr, Molly Rose "lulls you into a pleasure coma" with single-string plucks and a cracked-bell voice.

[Molly] has got her acoustic singer/songwriter sound dialed in, strummed rhythm, string squeak, and an incredibly dynamic voice, with overtones that make a single line sound both about ready to cry and cry out. Her lyrics are a poetry of more...
