Loren Connors, a hero around these parts, will see his 2001 album Lullaby re-released on vinyl, thanks to Sean McCann and his Recital imprint. Described by Recital as “a story of shadowed miniatures; flickering electronic guitar poems,” the 14-track album was originally burned to CD-R in an edition of 100, but is now being remastered from the original tapes, with Loren’s recent artwork included as a 6”x9” insert. The first 100 copies of the album (out of 500) will also come with a poem written by Loren to his wife on Christmas Eve 1986, which Recital notes is when their son was 9 months old.
Preview the track “Lullaby (the 4th)” below. It’s a short, unassuming cradlesong that captures the warm, nightlight glow of this album well.
Lullaby will be available May 27. Recital is taking pre-orders now.
