Tendril by Trace Ramsey
ABOUT Ambient, almost hidden soundscapes; twisting musical compositions; nature themed insights into parenting, trauma, and emotional associations of family, place, what it means to be apart from and a part of a memory at the same time. This is one person’s side of a complicated story. This is Trace Ramsey’s Tendril.
EXTENDED ABOUT On Friday our May release is out and we couldn't be more proud of this one. Trace Ramsey's audio book Tendril is beautiful, wise, aching, and dense with ideas, personal history, and relatable feeling. This will both rip you to pieces and make you feel okay about humanity. It's a complicated ride and Trace makes it well worth your time.
The field recordings and music accompanying the tracks is glorious and spectral, sweet and gracefully noisy.
No exaggeration here--this is one of the best things our label has released. Tendril is an important work. Buy a tape. (And a tape player too. We have those as well.) Throw on some headphones. Zone out. Think. Get lost in the haze for a while.
Tapes are out this Friday. A month ahead of the digital because we value the physical product and this needs to be heard over warm, natural analog. -Adam Gnade
