Heartland Shakedown by The Plain Mosaic
Most of this album was tracked in a single weekend in an Omaha basement called Yorick Studio.
The idea was simple: assemble a crew of friendmusicians to create an exploratory album that captures the ethos of both the individual songwriters and of their collective community.
Through a highly DIY and sometimes scatter-brained collaborative process, the ensemble crafted a wildly eclectic album that leaves no sonic stone unturned. Their diverse tastes and backgrounds ensure a pleasing listening experience for an equally diverse audience.
