Some thoughts from Joe O’Connell on his project’s new album: The album title is Genericana. To me, that roughly means “the stuff from which stuff generates.” It’s a short hand way of evoking all the elements that I’m mashing up in this music. The idea is basically that it’s this collision of genres, and collision of different versions of “American music.” It’s also an album that doesn’t fit very neatly into a category of album — studio? live? remix? Maybe all, or none, of the above. This is a new mutant variety of Elephant Micah, better suited to survive the cultural climate of the moment in so-called “Trump’s America.” It lives! I guess the lodestone in the process of making this was the kind of global avant garde mood that’s prevalent in a lot of 1980s albums I admire. Things like Joni Mitchell’s Dog Eat Dog and Arthur Russell’s Calling Out of Context. These records where singers were making really eclectic and outward looking productions – writing *through* the process of recording, and literally *playing* with technologies that were totally new to them. All the gear that I gathered to make the album was basically discarded or devalued. I got a bunch of stuff from Craigslist that interested me: a cheap FM synth, some Hindustani electronics, and an old three-head tape deck to use as a “poor man’s space echo.” The icing on the cake is a one-of-a-kind homemade digital synthesizer called “The Mutant”. I worked with my brother to design it. He built it and coded it. The concept of the synth is parallel to the concept of the album itself. It’s an electronic take on “folk” sounds (bends, drones, modal playing) and folk creative approaches (a cobbling together and reformatting of existing elements). “…stark and haunting…” Pitchfork “…unavoidable and real…” Angel Olsen “Beautiful and haunting.” Patterson Hood (Drive-By Truckers) “…modern, dark Americana.” NPR Music “…lyrical magic.” KEXP Artist Elephant Micah Genre Americana / Country Label Western Vinyl Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl , Includes Download Code Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 01 Surf A 6:23 02 Fire A 5:24 03 Life A 1:27 04 Life B 7:28 05 Fire B 6:35 06 Surf B 4:52 Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Elephant Micah and more from Americana / Country View Product Quick View Elephant Micah Vague Tidings Americana / Country | Western Vinyl | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 9th April 2021 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elephant Micah Vague Tidings £21.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Western Vinyl SKU: WV214LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 9th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Elephant Micah Genericana Americana / Country | Western Vinyl | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 27th July 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elephant Micah Genericana £20.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Western Vinyl SKU: WV174LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Jimmy Buffett Somewhere Over China Americana / Country | MCA | 1LP Released 28th April 2022 £10.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Jimmy Buffett Somewhere Over China £10.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: MCA SKU: nn241398 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th April 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Slim Cessnas Auto Club Unentitled Americana / Country | Alternative Tentacles | 1LP Released 13th February 2012 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Slim Cessnas Auto Club Unentitled £14.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Alternative Tentacles SKU: VIRUS425LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th February 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Doug Paisley Strong Feelings Americana / Country | No Quarter | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 20th January 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Doug Paisley Strong Feelings £17.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: No Quarter SKU: NOQ036LP Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 20th January 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alison Krauss Windy City Americana / Country | Capitol | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 27th February 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alison Krauss Windy City £20.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Capitol SKU: 5703750 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rose City Band Garden Party Americana / Country | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 21st April 2023 £31.00 -
