By Beachwood Sparks singer/songwriter Chris Gunst & Aislers Set’s Jen Cohen. Mastered at Abbey Road. The seeds of this exquisite album are scattered among the tracks of Make The Cowboy Robots Cry – the LP Beachwood Sparks hung their hats on before a ten year break. A further step forward from west coast country psych towards something with folkier roots but new, mysterious and above all free. Chris and Jen’s conjuring of magical, unforced, domestic spirituality. Recorded in a little wood cabin amongst the redwoods overlooking a running creek with a range of collected musical toys. Just give it 5 minutes once you’ve dropped the needle & you’ll be right there. Here’s Amanda Petrussich’s brilliant write up in Pitchfork – “With its soft melodies, sweet vocals, and scratchy DIY production, Mystic Chords of Memory is also an overwhelmingly intimate record, focused and domestic – much closer to Elliott Smith than former-benchmarks the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield…. The duo’s wordy moniker was lifted from Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address, a lecture delivered in the spring of 1861 and boldly eternalised at the base of Mount Rushmore… Appropriately, the band’s sound is just as archaic as a truly striking political speech: Gunst and Cohen blend tinkling bells, melodica, harp, keyboards, bits of samples, tinny drums, and strummy guitars, presenting a vaguely contemporary update on the British folk phenomenon of the late 1960s with more blips. Mystic Chords of Memory is a surprisingly coherent re-introduction to Gunst, and his professional coupling with Jen Cohen has proven both a freeing and inspired move.” Two decades later it’s obvious how seminal a record they conjured up. They forged a path that came to define the wave of US indie that followed for a while. In our opinion, the original has a natural, guileless, effortless beauty that trumps them all. Without a whiff of Starbucks. “Mystic chords of memory speech I interpreted the meaning as the underlying psyche fabric we are all creating on this land together. Jen and I thought it would be a great name to inspire our music together. This was really close to post 9/11 times and we were thinking about all of this and also wanting to improve our own contribution to the psychological fabric of the world.” Chis Gunst Artist Mystic Chords Of Memory Genre Rock And Pop Label Big Potato Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Berry Creek Soul Through The Bullet Hole Golden Dome Sure, Bert Like A Lobster Eyes On Sides Of Heads Open End Last One Mongo & Arky Pi & A Bee Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Booker T & The MGs The Memphis Soul Sound Of… Rock And Pop | Vinyl Passion | 180g, 1LP Released 18th March 2013 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Booker T & The MGs The Memphis Soul Sound Of… £12.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Vinyl Passion SKU: VP80025 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th March 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Michael McDonald Wide Open Rock And Pop | BMG Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th October 2017 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Michael McDonald Wide Open £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Records SKU: 4050538311440 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rich Robinson Flux Rock And Pop | Eagle Rock | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 20th July 2016 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rich Robinson Flux £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Eagle Rock SKU: AEAG204001 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 20th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Def Leppard Drastic Symphonies (with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) Rock And Pop | UMR | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 19th May 2023 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Def Leppard Drastic Symphonies (with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMR SKU: 4566339 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 19th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ellie Goulding Delirium Rock And Pop | Polydor | 2LP Released 4th November 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ellie Goulding Delirium £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polydor SKU: 4758720 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 4th November 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bill Wyman Stone Alone Rock And Pop | Demon Records | 180g, 1LP Released 19th July 2018 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bill Wyman Stone Alone £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Demon Records SKU: DEMREC217 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Other Lives For Their Love Rock And Pop | PIAS | 1LP Released 24th April 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Other Lives For Their Love £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: PIAS SKU: PIASR1145LPC Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th April 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Two Year Vacation Laundry Day Rock And Pop | Clouds Hill | 1LP Released 20th November 2020 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Two Year Vacation Laundry Day £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Clouds Hill SKU: 4250795603009 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th November 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Who, The Live At Leeds (Classic Records Pressing) Rock And Pop | Classic Records | 1LP Released 6th July 2023 £135.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Who, The Live At Leeds (Classic Records Pressing) £135.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Classic Records SKU: nn266905 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th July 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Manchester Orchestra Cope Rock And Pop | Loma Vista | 1LP Released 31st March 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Manchester Orchestra Cope £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Loma Vista SKU: 3774187 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
