   About The Harpeth Trace
February 6th, 2008: The Harpeth Trace: On Disappearing -- a collection of 10 songs. Out right now.
Buy from Insound
Buy from iTunes

Some Press:

Sprawling echo-laden songs that are delivered with whispery, breathy vocals and slowly turning guitar arpeggios. "Two Plainclothes Cops" is a cryptic, faintly psychedelic reverie with sparse, crumbling chords, while the piano-stoked "Georgia May" is sweetly ethereal. There's a Western grandeur to the austere jangle of "Kodachrome Wolves," and Josh Kasselman's fragile, feathery vocals swim in and out of the watery '60s pop of "Locked Out and Wandering."
-Falling James, The L.A. Weekly

Some of the world's most unique and gifted artists seem to always get lost in the currents ...listening to On Disappearing is like looking into mirrors at a carnival or gazing through a kaleidoscope. There's a lot more going on here than first meets the ears. The more we spin this album, the more absorbing it becomes... This will easily end up being one of our favorite releases for 2008. Highly recommended. (Rating: 5++++)
-BabySue/LMNOP

Following the eloquent and exceptional debut EP Man and the Cousin, The Harpeth Trace has released a gem of haunting folk and psychedelia. With On Disappearing they have created a masterpiece that flows and works its magic from track to track --- the way an album was meant to be listened to.
-Seldom Heard Radio

And you can have one of these old girls for five dollars. it has four songs:


Some Press:

Sounds like it coulda been recorded in 1968 or 2010 -- it's that timeless.
-The Tucson Weekly

Their dreamy pop is timeless—not to say it fits comfortably in any time, but rather their desert folk songs seem to wander detached from time in a sort of psychedelic limbo. Josh Kasselman’s guitar chimes and vintage Brit-pop vocals provide the more summery feel, while underneath it—digging its heels in like a kid on the first day of school—swirls Rob Poynter’s brushed, arrhythmic drums, Barry Poage’s sluggy bass and some warped percussive piano.
-The L.A. Alternative Press

Hauntingly beautiful -- an air of honky-tonk melancholy.
-The Albuquerque Tribune

"Imagine a pop artist making classical music using 80's keyboards. Then take that mental-image and improve the quality of the music by a hundred-fold and you would have a very loose idea of what this album is like. This is not an album of whale calls, ocean tides or anything of that ilk. Right now scroll to the top of the page (or go to the first page of this listing) and listen to the sample of "Celestial Soda Pop"; if you are like me, you will be sold on this album in 10 seconds.

This album ranges from intelligent melody driven songs like "Celestial Soda Pop" and "Rhythm In The Pews" to the ambient outer-space sounding "The Oh Of Pleasure", which reminds me of Space Mountain at Disney World for some reason. I can listen to it while driving, falling asleep, reading...you name it, it is the perfect all-purpose listening album.

Maybe the best way to explain this album is like this: whenever I listen to "Deep Breakfast" I feel like I am transported to another world (to use a hackneyed phrase); it evokes feelings within me of far-off non-earthlike places, and that there is something out there bigger than I am (not in a physical or religious sense). So, basically, it's quite hard to describe, but it definitely hits an emotional center within me, because listening to this album always puts me in a mood. Not a good mood, not a bad mood, just a mood.

Hey

CD arrived yesterday, thank you.

Well, what can I say ? really lovely. Two Plainclothes Cops delivered, I think it was the one I was most nervous about; the demo version been an early favourite and all.

Kodachrome Wolves is a favourite, and there's a line in Hotel Bristol Forever I really love.

Still Crescent- delayed again, I've reworked a couple of tracks, I kinda feel now I'm as happy with as I'll ever be. It'll be going off for manufacture this week.

Hope all's well.
