The record is a collection of songs Bronaugh wrote between 2012 and 2015 while living in Chicago, San Francisco, and Nashville. After returning from an Australian tour playing guitar and drums in Angel Olsen's band, Lionlimb began recording 'Shoo' in 2015 with Robin Eaton. Bronaugh and Jaeger started by tracking live drums and piano, and then for weeks Bronaugh filled up reel after reel, layering compulsively over their recordings. In the spring, Bronaugh and Eaton began the task of peeling away the layers. The resulting sessions proved to be a departure from the duo's previous recordings with a shift toward jazz, rock and soul with the addition of saxophone and Fender rhodes. The album's influences can be traced back to Miles Davis' 'On the Corner', Jack London, Schumann, Elliott Smith, and Jackson Pollock.LP - With Download.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bayonet","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50416924492107,"sku":"399374","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50416924623179,"sku":"399373","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/6446daa3-c9bf-4e4e-8928-09e54df28d3b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726712474"},{"product_id":"limbo-9","title":"Limbo","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor Fans Of: Angel Olsen, Sam Evian, Youth Lagoon, Kevin Krauter, Whitney, Tame Impala, MGMT.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough his project Lionlimb, New York-based singer\/songwriter\/producer Stewart Bronaugh crafts unfurling soundscapes that feel mysterious and otherworldly, yet timeless and nostalgic at the same time. He presents his most ambitious vision of these inner vistas on his new album, \u003ci\u003eLimbo\u003c\/i\u003e, on Bayonet Records. Inspired by a palette of '70s Italian film soundtracks, '60s girl group music, and funk and soul ballads, Bronaugh brings these influences together to invent an immersive sound all his own—with help from close collaborator Joshua Jaeger, whose live drums bring a rawness to Limbo's meticulously layered production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLed by the smoldering single \"Dream of You,\" featuring Angel Olsen, Limbo taps into universal themes of romance, longing, and loss, while still offering a hazy escape from our present reality. Bronaugh penned the songs with \"classic\" songwriting in mind, transforming his personal struggles with grief and addiction into love songs. Using images inspired by nature (like the sun, moonlight, hurricanes, and deep water), he expresses being overtaken by a force greater than himself, as the psychedelic production evokes a sense of being plunged into this vast landscape. Limbo benefits from its eclectic influences, as Bronaugh overlays sitar-sounding guitar on top of funky basslines, melodramatic string arrangements, and fuzzed out guitar, making for music that could easily belong on Twin Peaks just as much as a Western cowboy film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn album of duets, Limbo features a host of female vocalists—Angel Olsen, Ewa Synowiec, Justine Orrall, Bri Abram, Zoey Huynh, and Taylor Belle—who each add a textural counterpoint to Bronaugh's understated vocal performance. \"I think about vocals as just another instrument,\" he explains. \"When we first tried to have someone else sing, I liked it, because I felt more akin to a producer than a songwriter.\" There's a dreamy quality to how these singers trade off with Bronaugh, both parties expressing his inner emotions. \u003ci\u003eLimbo\u003c\/i\u003e is a culmination of Bronaugh's years of production experience, as he composed, produced, and mixed the project almost entirely by himself, with additional recording from Robin Eaton. Always inspired to make bold and experimental choices that capture his instincts in the moment, Bronaugh's production style is informed by \"wanting to do the weird thing that engineers wouldn't approve of,\" as he describes it. \"My favorite part of making music is the mistakes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bayonet","offers":[{"title":"Orange LP","offer_id":50417978835275,"sku":"2195036","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Lionlimb__Limbo_cbe51755_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726738049"},{"product_id":"spiral-groove","title":"Spiral Groove","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpiral Groove\u003c\/i\u003e delivers us singer-songwriter Stewart Bronaugh at the height of his artistic powers both visually and sonically.
