There he hired a young studio assistant, Preston Wendel, who eventually introduced his own works to the curious composer. That spawned a creative partnership that inspired Wendel to persuade Basinski to haul out his saxophone. Five years later, Sparkle Division has arrived with their enchanting debut album, \u003ci\u003eTo Feel Embraced\u003c\/i\u003e. Produced by Spaarkle Division at Basinski’s Musex International in Los Angeles, the duo were joined by a few notable friends: Mrs. Leonora Russo (who Basinski affectionately calls “the true Sicilian Sparkle Division, my Brooklyn Mom, the Queen of Williamsburg”) offers her sparkling voice to \u003ci\u003eQueenie Got Her Blues\u003c\/i\u003e; fabled free-jazz icon and genuine bodhisattva, the late Henry Grimes, contributed upright bass and violin to the aptly-named \u003ci\u003eOh Henry! \u003c\/i\u003e(“Lotta babies gonna be born from this one,” Henry and Margaret Davis Grimes playfully declared); and London vocalist Xeli Grana offers her ethereal voice to the album’s meditative title track. Conceived and nearly completed in 2016, the increasing environmental and political infernos gave Basinski and Wendel cold feet about unleashing a record intended to be fun, loving, and prone to bouts of euphoria. But as Basinski exclaimed, “Well, damn it, if the time ain't right now, it never will be! Let’s do this!”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Temporary Residence","offers":[{"title":"Turquoise | LP","offer_id":50506513285451,"sku":"1131523","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink | LP","offer_id":50506514694475,"sku":"1096727","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50506513973579,"sku":"1096723","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/68c54545-0fc9-48f5-99bd-829fe14ff527_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727824411"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_5f8e7b5e_thumbnail_4096_6a16b922-c42a-4f24-b2b7-95c5e86f928b.jpg?v=1726270616","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/sparkle-division.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
