Bitter Better Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards SKU: COM47531 Barcode: 766397475318 19.00 £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Compass Released Date: 17th July 2020 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Expanding on the boundaries of what an indie-folk band can be, Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards take their extensive string music background, add their knowledge of folk and roots music, and incorporate an edgy pop sensibility to create their latest album, ‘Bitter Better’. A stunning lesson in all the ways string instruments can be played bowed, plucked, percussively – the album showcases Cortese and multi-instrumentalist producer Sam Kassirer (Lula Wiles, Lake Street Dive) striving to capture the most adventurous approach to each moment. The result is an album that incorporates dance-worthy foundational grooves, synth, and loops to push the boundaries of the genre. “Laura Cortese and the Dance Cards create a stunning, forward-looking sound that charts a path for innovation in folk music.” PopMatters “ . . .vocally superb . . . amazing talent with the fiddle” Maverick “Like many of the best “folk” bands, this talented quartet is much more of an uncategorisable and dynamic force” Americana UK “. . . their close and complex harmonies and imaginative arrangements signified the best of folk right now.” The Bluegrass Situation Artist Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards Genre Folk Label Compass Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Treat You Better Corduroy Jacket From The Ashes Where The Fox Hides Dreaming How Long Younger Man Talk To Me Typhoon When We Rocked Daylight Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards and more from Folk View Product Quick View Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards California Calling Americana / Country | Compass | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 20th October 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards California Calling £19.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Compass SKU: COM46971 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 20th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Barna Howard Quite A Feelin Folk | Loose Music | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th May 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Barna Howard Quite A Feelin £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Loose Music SKU: VJLP223 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th May 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Christy Moore The Iron Vest Behind The Velvet Folk | Tara | 1LP Released 14th August 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Christy Moore The Iron Vest Behind The Velvet £18.00 Genre: Folk Label: Tara SKU: 725993 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th August 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charlie Parr Stumpjumper Americana / Country | Red House | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 27th April 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charlie Parr Stumpjumper £18.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Red House SKU: RHRLP283 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th April 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Angelo de Augustine Toil and Trouble Folk | Asthmatic Kitty Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 30th June 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Angelo de Augustine Toil and Trouble £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Asthmatic Kitty Records SKU: AKR152LP-C1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 30th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joanna Newsom Divers Folk | Drag City | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 20th October 2015 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joanna Newsom Divers £24.00 Genre: Folk Label: Drag City SKU: DC561 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 20th October 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Merrell Fankhauser Merrell Fankhauser (a.k.a The Maui Album) Folk | Out-sider Music | 1LP Released 7th May 2015 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Merrell Fankhauser Merrell Fankhauser (a.k.a The Maui Album) £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Out-sider Music SKU: OSR035 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th May 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dry The River Weights & Measures Folk | RCA | 10", EP/Mini Album Released 14th November 2011 £5.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dry The River Weights & Measures £5.00 Genre: Folk Label: RCA SKU: 88691903081 Formats: 10", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 14th November 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View 9Bach Anian Folk | Real World | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 27th May 2016 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders 9Bach Anian £15.00 Genre: Folk Label: Real World SKU: LPRW214 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pentangle Pentangle Folk | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 28th October 2016 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pentangle Pentangle £24.00 Genre: Folk Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1757 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 28th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cara Dillon Wanderer Folk | Charcoal | 1LP Released 1st December 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cara Dillon Wanderer £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Charcoal SKU: CHARLP009 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st December 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
