Biography
(From the press release):
Musician/songwriter and filmmaker Adam Stafford (Y'all is Fantasy Island/Size of Kansas, "The Shutdown") releases "Music in The Mirabel", a Covers Record on Wise Blood Industries. Deviating from the experimental path taken on his two previous solo LPs, the wholly a Capella "Awnings" (2009) and the woozy cassette-to-cassette sound collage of "Miniature Porcelain Horse Emporium" (2010), "MiTM" harks back to the minimalistic and sparse recording techniques applied to the early YiFI releases.
Recorded in two days with a host of musicians including Edinburgh's Emily Scott, Falkirk vocalist Louise Hendry, Norwegian fiddle player Solvik Askvik and ex-YiFI bassist/guitarist Robbie Lesiuk, the LP sees songs originally recorded by groups such as Devo, The Police and The Twilight Sad sit next to one another. The eponymous title track, by German Existentialist poet Georg Trakl (rendered here by novelist/play-write Alan Bissett) splits the "two-sides" of LP.
