O'Death
http://www.odeath.net
As O’ Death wrapped up production on their third studio album Outside at the end of 2010, lead-singer/guitarist Greg Jamie relocated to Biddeford, Maine, to take over a local music and arts venue and turn it into The Oak and The Ax. Since then, Maine and The Oak and The Ax have become a second home for o’death and eventually the location for the recording of their fourth full-length studio album.
The band convened in South Portland, ME, to work with lo-fi recording guru, Caleb Mulkerin (Big Blood, Fire On Fire, Cerberus Shoal) and to take advantage of the homey space in Biddeford they had performed in many times since 2011. On Out of Hands We Go, o’death return to a focus on live performances with Jamie’s voice and lyrics planted firmly in the center of the band’s dynamic arrangements, a stark departure from the multi-tracked and meticulously overdubbed Outside.
Greg Jamie’s strength as a lyricist is his ability to create evocative images and details that come together to form a narrative if the listener is ready to walk the path. Out of Hands We Go contains stories of a more personal nature, abandoning horror-film vignettes in favor of heartbreak (“Heal In The Howling,” “Herd,” “Apple Moon,”), defiance (“Roam,” “Wrong Time,” “Wait For Fire”) and ultimately triumph (“All Is Light,” “We Had A Vision”) before culminating in the climactic “Isavelle” that fires on all dramatic cylinders.


Guy Blakeslee

Guy Blakeslee (The Entrance Band) delivers his first solo album in 10 years. Produced by Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah, Yeah Yeahs), the album 'Ophelia Slowly,' takes a step back from the dense rock sound his psychedelic trio is known for, delving instead into a sparse, spooky dreamscape where drum loops, synthesizers, and the occasional acoustic guitar frame haunting vocals. Recorded in New York in fall 2013, the album focuses on Blakeslee's recent descent; wrestling with demons and angels alike, he seems to have come through it victoriously, best heard on 'Told Myself' and 'Smile On,' the latter which has the hopeful message of a modern day spiritual.
Recording under his own name for the first time, Blakeslee seems to be clueing us in that his intentions for this project are that it be intimate and vulnerable, and as anyone who caught his recent solo dates opening for Spiritualized or Cat Power will attest, he delivers on that promise. His reworked 2003 version of Skip James's 'I'm so Glad,' is currently heard in the soundtrack for Spike Jonze's Academy Award nominated film 'Her,' appearing as the infectious song Scarlet Johansson's "character" shares with Joaquin Phoenix, confessing she can't stop listening to it. Hopefully 'Ophelia Slowly' will produce a similar result.


Stone Jack Jones

Stone Jack Jones was raised in a coal miner's company house on the banks of Buffalo Creek, WV. Behind the house rose a canopy of green forest; in the front, a red road and a black creek, winding like a shimmering blacksnake. The woods were the first seduction, and whether by foot or by horse, it was there that he roamed. This solitude would transform his notions of reality, reality at the time being Vietnam raging, no prospects of college, and a draft notice in his pocket. He was rejected from the military because of epilepsy and told to go home. His dad, a fourth generation miner, said, "Don't be the fifth," so the young musician picked up his fiddle and began a life of wandering.
