Julian Lage has launched “This World,” a brand new acoustic music that includes Lage and Invoice Frisell alone on acoustic guitars. The music is from his upcoming new album, The Layers, out there through Blue Observe Information on Friday, March 17. Pre-orders can be found now.
“’This World’ was initially written as a drone piece for the trio that includes Invoice Frisell,” says Lage. “The thought was to state the melody after which have Invoice soar on prime of the groove because it steadily constructed extra intensely, at all times remaining tethered to the E drone. After rehearsals, it appeared clear that it made extra sense to go the opposite path–extra intimate, simply two acoustic guitars approaching the music extra gently and sparsely. I feel this piece discovered its house on this extra resonant realm.”
A shocking companion piece to final yr’s View With A Room, The Layers was first heralded earlier this month with the premiere of its title monitor, which can also be out there now in any respect streaming providers alongside an official stay trio efficiency video streaming now on YouTube.
“At its core, The Layers is a prequel to View With A Room,” says Julian Lage. “It has all of the musical seeds that grew into what I contemplate the touchstones of View With A Room–a duo with Invoice, a duo with Jorge, extra atmospheric and expansive writing, Dave and Jorge’s unbelievable rhythmic and orchestral sensibilities.
“View With A Room is a complete have a look at these musical qualities we had been so excited to discover within the studio, and The Layers presents a distillation of the varied relationships throughout the ensemble and manufacturing staff. Taken as a complete, The Layers has a heartbeat all of its personal.”
Lage will mark the arrival of The Layers with a busy worldwide stay schedule, together with sold-out headlining reveals, pageant performances, and extra. North American dates might be introduced quickly.
