New Album from Chamber-Pop Experimentalist Liam Singer
Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the release of the new album Dislocatia by Brooklyn-based chamber-pop experimentalist Liam Singer.
Dislocatia is a truly beguiling song cycle that contains multitudes. In Liam Singer’s music, the prosaic and the magical are two sides of the same dusty coin. Produced by Scott Solter, and featuring vocals from Boxharp’s Wendy Allen, Dislocatia is rich in wondrous, resonant details. These fantastical song-stories carry the listener skyward like a clockwork cloud.
It’s rare to find such arresting compositional talent married not only to an innate sense of melody and emotion, but also to a keen sense of texture and atmosphere. Dislocatia manages to merge these elements together and, more importantly, blur any lines that divide them. Liam Singer’s alchemical compositional process transforms the songs into a whole that transcends simple descriptors.
The digital version of the album also includes a wonderful re-working of the Cat Power track ‘Cross Bones Style’.
“If the Bedroom Communities roster are the post-romantics, like Brahms and Rachmoninovs, of 21st century indie-acceptable classical music, then Liam Singer is the Erik Satie of the group, playing wildly conceptual music that never quite loses its emotional resonance. ” – Tome To The Weather Machine
“With ‘Winter Weeds’, Singer places himself among other artists who understand the delicate nature of human compassion. His capacity for relating such an emotion seems to come easy, making such a forgotten expression in today’s society unbelievably refreshing.” - Delusions of Adequacy
Dislocatia is available now on CD and in digital formats through Hidden Shoal Recordings, distributed via n5Mailorder.
