CD Release Show… Hello Morning @ Mississippi Studios, March 4th!

/in , /by

On March 4th, Portland, Oregon-based Hello Morning (Henry Curl, Kevin Breuner, Ben Sims, and Peter Swenson) will celebrate the release of their debut full-length, “A Fiction,” at Mississippi Studios.  Also on the bill are The Dimes and Steve Tayor (of Rogue Wave).  Cover is $7 advance, $7 day of show.  Doors at 8:30pm, show starts at 9pm.

In scope, palette, and composition, “A Ficiton” is a more daring and successful leap for a band that already kickstarted their career with a promising, self-titled debut EP.

Musically, Hello Morning both polished and expanded their approach on “A Fiction,” as compared to their self-titled debut EP, retaining their majestic, uplifting sound on tracks such as “The Fear,” a postmodern mid-tempo anthem with a deep pocket.  And, “A Good Year,” a minor key whirlwind which calls to mind Death Cab and Interpol. The striking new sound of the band becomes more evident on “Letters,” which seamlessly merges a double-time drum machine, a live dub drum beat, and haunting guitars that sound like icicles and arctic wind. All the while, Henry Curl, gifted with an effortless and emotive voice, sings a Neil Young-ian melody. The song evokes unsent letters and unrealized dreams. “All I Knew,” one of the last songs to be written, sprang to life one magical night and stands as the album’s emotional highlight, going from a widescreen velvety throb to a psychedelic freak out, in the course of seven electric minutes.

The songs that comprise “A Fiction” have a shared emotional state and narrative threads – love, trust, commitment, and communication between friends and lovers, both real and imagined.  The result is a diverse collection of modern rock explorations, the recording of which was entirely funded by Hello Morning’s loyal fan base via a Kickstarter campaign.

The band launched a fan-funding campaign, spread the word, and their fans heeded the call, exceeding the goal with time to spare. In turn, the band found they could then record an entire album’s worth of songs, so they booked extra studio time, recording again at Secret Society with mixing from Jeff Stuart Saltzman (Death Cab For Cutie, Menomena, Decemberists) and Kyle Lockwood (Climber), who also makes a guest appearance playing strings.

Each of the members of Hello Morning have spent years in various rock, pop, electro-pop, and folk outfits. Now scene veterans, they’ve come together to form a band that can do things their way, with the wisdom and talent earned by experience, but with an excitement and focus on exploring what guitar-driven rock can still be, can still say, can still do, and discovering new ways to transmit that sound. Following the successful reception of Hello Morning’s debut EP, the band spent the year playing shows around the Northwest with international touring bands such as Two Door Cinema Club and Wang Chung, as well as local favorites like Climber, Crosstide, and Mnemonic.

Blind Pilot To Support The Decemberists On Upcoming European Tour

/3 Comments/in , /by

Portland, OR-based Blind Pilot, who are currently in the studio recording their second full-length album, will support The Decemberists’ upcoming European tour.  The tour begins on March 4th in Dublin, makes stops in many UK cities as well as Amsterdam and Antwerp, and concludes with a show on March 16th at Hammersmith Apollo in London.  See below for a full list of tour dates.

The band’s debut, 3 Rounds and a Sound, earned Blind Pilot coverage on national radio (NPR’s “Morning Edition” and “All Songs Considered”), and national television (“Last Call with Carson Daly”). The album received praise from USA Today, the Boston Globe, the New York Post, Wired Magazine, AM New York, and the Philadelphia Inquirer, which calls the music “a rustic reverie.”

[adrotate group=”3″]

Comprised of founding members Israel Nebeker (vocals, guitar) and Ryan Dobrowski (drums), Blind Pilot is rounded out with Luke Ydstie (upright bass, backing vocals), Kati Claborn (banjo, dulcimer, ukulele, backing vocals), Ian Krist (vibraphone) and Dave Jorgensen (keyboard, trumpet).

“…the songs on its marvelous debut, 3 Rounds and a Sound, are uniformly sturdy and sweet, drenched in brightly rustic instrumentation and some of the sweetest harmonies this side of such likeminded peers as The Avett Brothers and Fleet Foxes.” – NPR Music

“Blind Pilot’s music is full of exhilarated weariness and the kinds of detailed insights into the subconscious and all of the other hidden regions of the mind and heart…” – Daytrotter

3/4/11 – Vicar Street – Dublin, IE
3/5/11 – Barrowlands – Glasgow, UK
3/7/11 – Birmingham Institute – Birmingham, UK
