Able returns to Rope Swing Cities with a beautiful new EP of experimental music, Episodes of Bravado. His second release for the label shows a maturing sense of production, sound composition and personal style. Layered and complex, this EP is a must have for the coming of fall and contemplative gloom of winter.
Composed and initially mixed during stoic train rides from New York to Denver, the collected sounds on Episodes of Bravado range from footsteps in Grand Central Station to gently played piano and guitar. Each piece stands alone as a symphonic whole, but are best enjoyed of course, as an entire experience. Droning, wavering guitars give way to the peaceful chirping of birds and the light chiming of bells. Each sound placed perfectly in concert with the next. Ranging in tone from sullen meditations to innocent-eyed reminiscing, Episodes of Bravado is an ideal accompaniment to your own museful wanderings through a wondrous life.
In addition to the web release, Rope Swing Cities is proud to announce the release of Episodes of Bravado by Able as its third limited addition, handcrafted CD-R release. Lovingly made packaging is accompanied not only by simple mementos and pieces of art, but by an assortment of photographs taken during Able's travels around the country. The EP can be purchased in our store for $8 + $2 shipping and handling, world wide. Show your support for experimental artists by procuring your own one-of-a-kind copy!
Able, another new face in the Rope Swing Cities family, offers up his
debut release, Concinnity, an album of beautiful and ghostly
ambient music.
Washes of sound and tender plucks of piano keys characterize this
peaceful journey inwards, towards a place of pensive self examination.
Dream-like and wandering, Concinnity is a thinker's album,
meant for close examination, or as accompaniment on long solitary
trips. The transitory nature of the songs contained on
Concinnity, derives itself from the bulk of the work having
been initially composed on long bus rides to and from Boulder and
Denver in Colorado; the ever-changing landscape and peaceful quiet of
the bus greatly influencing Able's artistic output. Sparse melodies,
mixed with the careful examiniation of detached emotional experience
are the bread and butter of this calming, restful album.
The sun is rising, and you've survived the night, things have been at
their darkest, but now you can see the other side. Pull out your copy
of Concinnity by Able, and allow the soothing tones to wash
over your body and help you feel whole again.
