Sam Amidon's CHICKEN... Reissued

OMNIVORE RECORDINGS TO REISSUE SAM AMIDON’S BUT THIS CHICKEN PROVED FALSEHEARTED TOMORROW

AMIDON’S OUT-OF-PRINT 2007 DEBUT OFFERED FOR FIRST TIME ON VINYL; CD REISSUE INCLUDES 10 BONUS TRACKS FROM ORIGINAL RECORDING SESSION

US TOUR DATES WITH SAN FERMIN ARE UNDERWAY

Los Angeles — December 3, 2015 — Omnivore Recordings reissues singer and multi-instrumentalist Sam Amidon’s debut recording But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted tomorrow. Originally released in 2007, the long out-of-print debut body of work will now be available on CD and digital, and for the first time, on vinyl. The CD and digital format include 10 bonus tracks recorded during the original session. The initial vinyl pressing is available in limited quantities on translucent blue vinyl, with black vinyl to follow. All LPs include a download of the complete offering of original and bonus tracks.

Recorded in 2005 at Amidon’s then-home in Harlem, NY, with friend and collaborator Thomas Bartlett (aka Doveman), But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted introduced the world to Amidon’s unique talents as a composer/arranger, singer and musician; talents which have, in recent years, garnered praise from The New York Times, The Guardian, NPR and more. But This Chicken… features Amidon’s reimaginings of traditional American folksongs as well as a diverse array of covers, including Tears for Fears “Head Over Heels” and Mississippi John Hurt’s “Louis Collins.”

“At night I would drink whiskey and record solo versions of the songs onto a Pro Tools setup (Thomas and I) were borrowing from a friend, and which neither of us really knew how to use,” Amidon said. “The final vocal and guitar take was generally the one where I got through the whole song without messing up the guitar part. Then Thomas would come home late, wake up the next day and tell me to go take a long walk. I would walk out into the park for an hour or two and come back to find what he had added.”

“This is an album of total discovery,” Amidon added. “Every sound is being played for the first time. It reflects both the solitude of that particular time and our musical collaboration in a moment of great change.”

Amidon plays a series of US tour dates this month with the chamber pop ensemble San Fermin. A complete list of tour dates follows.

ELEANOR FRIEDBERGER Shares New Music Video via Stereogum

ELEANOR FRIEDBERGER SHARES MUSIC VIDEO FOR "HE DIDN'T MENTION HIS MOTHER"

PRESS HERE to watch via Stereogum
 
New View Out Jan. 22nd via Frenchkiss 
(Credit: Joe DeNardo)
Praise for Eleanor Friedberger + "He Didn't Mention His Mother":
 
"Friedberger makes breezy-sounding music about adult situations. She notices life's little details...and weaves them into a cozy tapestry...What a beautiful, subtle way to describe a beautiful, subtle feeling." - Pitchfork
 
"...a beautifully lush ramble that evokes the greats of the '70s without aping any of them too closely." - Stereogum
 
"...a slowly rolling charmer streaked with fine, crisp guitar lines." - Consequence of Sound
 
"...subtle, poetic..." - Village Voice

Eleanor Friedberger will release New View on January 22nd via Frenchkiss, and today she shares the music video for the album opener and first single, "He Didn't Mention His Mother," a track driven by melodic guitar lines, Wurlitzer electric piano and Friedberger's signature, witty lyricism.  The video features Friedberger rehearsing with her backing band Icewater at her upstate New York home and recording with producer Clemens Knieper at his Sunnyland Studio in Germantown, NY. PRESS HERE to watch the video now via Stereogum.
 
Eleanor Friedberger will take New View on the road next year, starting at NYC's Bowery Ballroom in February and culminating at SXSW 2016. See below to find a show near you.
 
New View is the follow-up to 2013's critically acclaimed Personal Record and is her first album as a signee to NYC's seminal indie label Frenchkiss Records. New View signals a fresh beginning for the former Fiery Furnaces' frontwoman. After living in Brooklyn for fourteen years, Friedberger moved to upstate New York, and the album reflects that region's rustic charm. Friedberger drew inspiration for New View from many of her musical heroes - everyone from Van Morrison, Neil Young and George Harrison, to Slapp Happy, Yoko Ono and Elyse.  There are ghost notes of all of those influences on New View,but mostly you hear the singular voice of Eleanor Friedberger, whose warm, inviting alto and incredible word play continue to make herone of the foremost songwriters in the indie rock world today.
 
PRESS HERE to pre-order New View now.
