Feathers Wet, Under the Moon

A Grave With No Name, the recording project of London's Alexander Shields release 'Feathers Wet, Under The Moon' via Lefse. The approach to recording on 'Feathers Wet, Under The Moon' was an entirely new method of recording for Shields. In the past, he had been used to writing every note of each song and then performing and recording everything himself, or carefully instructing the players how he wanted it to sound. For this record, he presented the bare bones of a song to the group, then Mark would hit the record button and they would just play, often creating the arrangements on the fly. The resulting record however is an exercise in precision and restraint that belies its creation. With slowly unfolding melodies, atypical song structures and a sense of meandering melancholy, 'Feathers Wet, Under The Moon' takes us on a personal journey that somehow feels universal.LP - With Download.
