Page Keeley, Rand Harrington

The bleak and foreboding landscape surrounding Keeley's North Yorkshire home seems to inhabit her third LP, 'The Hollow'. The moors, visible from her studio window, impact upon a music that feels made of these places: windswept, rain-soaked and blinking through the low-lit landscape. The album's title derives from discovering a long-abandoned mining shaft whilst out walking - the past lurking within and haunting the present we now occupy. A connection to time that places us within it, facing what is gone and what may come. But also, perhaps that time has no concern as to whether we're here or not.

On his first solo billing in six years, the guitarist—a member of Darkside and Taper’s Choice—bids farewell to NYC. These patient, wistful explorations are heavy on both melody and collaborative spirit.

“The Pictures” is the most sprawling, and the most personal, album Dave Harrington has ever made. It’s a love letter to the cinema. It’s a showcase for his eclectic taste. It’s a quiet nod to his father. It’s a love song to his family. It’s a heady journey through abstraction and back.

From the opening swells of this striking debut recording, one can sense that there is deep listening taking place among this trio’s members. Entirely improvised in the afternoon of their first meeting, Speak, Moment cascades from gorgeous mountaintop revelation fanfare to rough hewn and ragged noise. Altogether, it is an opening salvo, a profound and unrepeatable moment in the lives of these three remarkable musicians. Dave Harrington, Max Jaffe, and Patrick Shiroishi have bewilderingly stacked CVs and accolades from here to the moon. Together, on Speak, Moment, they establish hypnotic and richly textured guitar-driven tapestries colored with the effervescent thread of a yearning saxophone melody that might be torn loose in an instant by thunderous percussion or febrile grooves.

Written, recorded, and mixed over three days in Joshua Tree, California, Hollywood Visit is the product of two old friends with one shared goal: have fun and attempt to capture the moment. During 13 years of friendship Dave Harrington (DARKSIDE, Taper’s Choice) and Tim Mislock (Hedwig and The Angry Inch, The Antlers) have held many roles for one another: guitar tech, producer, marriage counselor, bartender, roadie, sous chef, booking agent, superfan.
