Woodcut, by Sailcloth

Woodcut

by Sailcloth

supported by

Joe Borreson Meander through a wooded copse under darkening skies, just as the sun is tinged orange-red, and let Sailcloth take his tactile bowed and plucked Double Bass focused compositions on as your soundtrack. Rooted, vast, earthy and dreamy with some light shadows teeming from the edges, but lightness and dreamy wonder prevail. This release shows Alex's strong compositional skills and growth and further excels from his already amazing 1st EP. Very highly reccomended. Favorite track: Woodcut.

----------------------------------------------------

'Woodcut' is the debut album from Sailcloth, the project name upright bassist/multi-instrumentalist Alex Luquet records under. 'Woodcut' releases July 2nd with US label, Lost Tribe Sound.

The Pennsylvania native caught the attention of Lost Tribe Sound with the 2019 EP 'Close Keeping'. Its strong lean towards a highly textural and bass-forward sound connected it to LTS immediately.

Original discussions about the debut record centered on creating an album that pushed the often background role of the upright bass to the foreground, letting the rich, sturdy tones that the instrument is capable of be the star of the show. With the thirteen songs of 'Woodcut', Sailcloth has well surpassed this original outline, undoubtedly giving this massive wooden instrument center stage while also delivering an album that is unexpected yet comfortable simultaneously. It delivers on those rumbling cathartic lows, though it equally gives way to some of the most satisfying big-hearted highs.

'Woodcut' contains this wide-eyed sense of wonder, warming us with its nostalgic melodies and deep earthy undertones that point towards a strong commune with nature and all that breathes around us. At times, it is refreshing, joyful, undeniably playful. Further still its gritty, awkward, elusive, contemplative. Never fully pledging its allegiance to just one spectrum on the color wheel, ‘Woodcut' evades easy classification and the stereotypical jazz-like outcomes one typically expects from the instrument. Best we can figure, it's electro-acoustic music with a longing for travel, adventure, and real connection. It's music that is eager to share its colorful experiences with all who will listen and reward them with sure-handed nuance not often heard in debut albums.

"Acoustic music with aspects of drone and folktronic collage - yet it feels like it's own thing, not least because it's led by the bass. There are nods to jazz & Americana - and at other times, a twinkly post-classical bent, but mostly it has a warm feeling of enveloping darkness. One of the best releases on Lost Tribe Sound lately, which is high praise!" - (Peter Hollo) UTILITY FOG

the old capital

The title and the tunes put me in the mindset of a carefree afternoon, wandering through the stone buildings and cobbled streets of an old European city, taking in a street performance, looking through some art galleries, marveling at the architecture, and savoring a rustic, yet refined meal at an outdoor table. padredre

The Loneliness of the Deep Sea Diver
by ARROWOUNDS

Quietly intense, dense, and claustrophobic - yet offset by its relentlessly hypnotic nature and tactile, bubbling textures. You'll get the bends, but you won't mind. A glorious mix of Night That Thunders by Rapoon and Fishy by Mookoid, this is THE must-have album for your bathysphere. Recommended. 400 Lonely Things
