The Ocean From The River

The Ocean From The River was written and arranged by songwriter Jeff Martin with long-time collaborator John McEntire (Tortoise, The Sea and Cake) who played drums on all tracks and mixed tracks at his Soma EMS recording facility in Chicago. The album also features Tony Crow (Lambchop) on piano. The emphasis is on real instrumentation, with virtually no electronics, sequencing or programming. The result is rich and organic tones throughout the album. Intimate guitar and voice songs contrast with panoramic full-band tracks, occasional brass flourishes and textured string arrangements. Drawn from various musical genres, The Ocean From The River is a diverse piece of work - complex, multifaceted, and one that reveals a new layer with each listen.Vinyl in deluxe die cut packaging.
