SWAG
Catchall |
A
supergroup comprised of several veteran musicians, Swag plays
a rousing blend of power pop and indie rock. In 1996, keyboardist
Jerry Dale McFadden (Sixpence None the Richer) met guitarist
Robert Reynolds (the Mavericks) while their two bands were
touring together. Their similar interests prompted them to
put together an open-ended musical project, eventually ensnaring
drummer Ken Coomer (Wilco), multi-instrumentalist Doug Powell
(a solo artist on Not Lame Records), and bassist Tom Petersson
(Cheap Trick). The group's Nashville recording sessions produced
a couple of limited-edition singles in the late '90s and a
10" picture disc EP Different Girls in 2000.
Their hard-to-find singles as well as eight new songs were
compiled for their 2001 full-length debut Catchall.
Remastered to 96kHz/24-bit from the original 48kHz/24-bit

Joe
Henry
Scar |
For
the last five years, Joe Henry has gradually taken his songwriting
into hidden areas, exploring the different textures of shadow
with occasional forays into the twilight of the human heart.
On Scar, his eighth album, Henry follows his other
obsession down the rabbit hole: the myriad ways in which sound
and texture can become musical instruments themselves in order
to paint a song properly. Scar, his highly textured
sonic meditation on love and its twisted redemptive power,
features a list of highly visible musicians that help make
this the album Henry's been trying to make his entire adult
life. Producing and contributing to four soundtracks hasn't
hurt Henry a bit in his quest to make his music finish the
story his lyrics sketch out. With the help of producer Craig
Street, Henry moves the bell further down the wire of soulful
yet accessible pop music. Remastered from the original analog
master tape.
Another two sided disc, 192kHz/24-bit program on one side,
96kHz/24-bit on the other. |
