It is a modern day hippie-spiritual, a tonic for those needing to put aside the mess of the daily grind. With luscious beds of strings, horns and well adorned towering walls of sound, \u003ci\u003eLifted\u003c\/i\u003e finds Nash continuing his tradition of creating a sonic experience of feeling that is at once both vast and intimate - soaring and untamed at times, placid and sincerely personal at others. Finally use his quonset hut-turned-studio Plum Creek Sound to its utmost, Nash incorporated found sounds and field recordings from his Texas ranch to create a setting of the sounds that represent his Hill Country life. Drums played in rain collection tanks, water rushing against the limestone, frogs and crickets in their habitats, and even a curious, yet guarded rattlesnake, all appear throughout the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by methods pioneered by John Cage, Nash also randomized sounds and music and rearranged them according to the I Ching (The Book of Changes). Utilizing these recording and tracking techniques help create a sonic and very present picture of Nash’s home and his life. Accompanied by his longtime band, with arrangements by Jesse Chandler (Mercury Rev, Midlake), horns by members of Austin’s cumbia\/funk compadre’s Grupo Fantasma, and strings from Kelsey Wilson and Sadie Wolf of indie pop’s Wild Child, Nash, alongside co-producer and engineer Ted Young (Kurt Vile, The Rolling Stones), presents an album that soars as a masterwork of American roots songs, meticulously crafted and gently sprinkled with life meaning and multi-hued rock and psychedelia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - Black Vinyl with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD - Digipack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP+ - Limited Blue Vinyl with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Loose Music","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50420466712907,"sku":"1036947","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50420476379467,"sku":"1036946","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/7e8025cb-6f67-4586-b4c3-99e0c0140d30_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726752778","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/lifted-1","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
