Ben Auld Lemongrass

$24.99 USD

Description
Ben Auld writes songs whose heartbreak and wonder reveal themselves moments after the warmth of their beauty sinks in, like slipping into the ocean on a bronzy morning. Whether hes singing about bookstores and porches or ghosts and space stations, the Bristol, UK-based singer-songwriter imbues his straight-to-tape gems with a radiant AM pop warmth. And on Lemongrass, due 9/16/2022 via Earth Libraries, that comfy songwriting crackles and pops somewhere between Roger McGuinn and Gram Parsons. Aulds debut record brims with homespun charm, dazzling melodies, and lyrics that burrow deep into the heart. Throughout the album, the immaculately arranged compositions provide the perfect frame for smooth and rosiny vocals. Utilizing a series of reel-to-reel tape machines, Auld chose to meticulously stack his instrumentation rather than simplify; some songs have dozens of instrumental tracks, all assembled on tape. Id record three tracks, bounce that over, and then record another three. I did it alone and it took a long time to figure out what was possible, he says. I went through two four-track recorders, an 8-track 1/2" reel-to-reel, and finished the album on a TASCAM 388. One of the biggest challenges of the album was fixing all the broken old gear. With each new listen, Lemongrass becomes a fonder friend, Aulds heart-on-his-sleeve lyricism and intimate songwriting building a deeper nest. The time is ours/ Our time is now, he insists on the psychedelic wonder of Our Time Is Now, more certain and wide-eyed than urgent. Through first love and heartbreak, dawns and apocalypses, Lemongrass keeps turning, collecting flickers of astral bliss with each rotation, Aulds thumping heartbeat at the core. 1. You're A Ghost 2.
