»Nashville has become a bore. People go there to co-write with people they haven't met before or worse, people from the place they've just come from. Leave Americana to Americans. Stay at home and let your music-making imagination run free, unshackled by the templates and conventions of a place on someone else's continent [...] The music market is so heavily contracting via streaming, digital taxes, the collapse of physical distribution that viable business is impossible. Simply, people no longer see music as a transactional commodity. If you want to make music, do it for the artistry. And do something else for income. I believe the music industry as we’ve known it will come to be seen as an essentially 20th century phenomenon.« – Colin Harper (The Legends of Tomorrow) »The intention behind Klingra is to create music that stays in a particular mode for a long time, although constantly evolving and developing. Hopefully leading to a feeling of constantly being driven on an obscured path. Thus the idea is that the album should be listen to in one go as a whole, almost like a movie, and not only the separate scenes.« – Kim Rafael Nyberg (Afenginn) »The Heart, The Time, The Pen separates the themes of its title into three sections. Each section’s overall aesthetic carries its own unique sonic ambiance. Each section has four songs; the last song, the title track, embodies all three themes. Although intentionally constructed to go deeper into the writer’s psyche as the album progresses from beginning to end, this can also be listened to with the sections played in random order, still ending with the title track. The idea is to create a different effect with each configuration.« – Dan Gallagher a.k.a. Crow vs Lion »Big Road will be released in three formats: traditional CD, a gatefold vinyl album and a CD/DVD combo pack. In an age where recorded music has been devalued and relegated to a digital stream for smart phones, Big Road returns the listener to the golden age of record making, when enjoying an album was a tactile, visual and auditory experience.« – Red House Records |
