Shannon Wright - Dyed in the Wool (Clear Vinyl)
LP
Just over twenty years after its original release, Shannon Wright's third
album, Dyed in the Wool, is being released for the first time on vinyl! One
of Shannon Wright's classics, partly recorded by Steve Albini, will be
available on September 9th in all good record stores.
Dyed in the Wool is a comprehensive document of Shannon’s unique
and consistent capacity for writing beautiful songs. The record
highlights haunting melodies that wind themselves through Shannon’s
dark and poetic landscapes.
The core of these songs is their attention to catchy, complex vocal mel-
odies, which are some of Shannon’s most inspired recorded
performances. The instrumental arrangements are more complex and
cohesive than ever, providing elegant texture and sophistication, while
retaining the trademark intimacy and bare bones honesty of
Shannon’s earlier work. It lays claim to Shannon being an author
impossible to counterfeit, and difficult to draw comparison to either by
gender or genre. Guests appear from such indie luminaries as
Rachel’s, The Shipping News, Japancakes, Edith Frost, and The
Glands, each one adding more depth and nuance to Shannon’s
already stellar songwriting.
