Concession Stand Girl Naomi Alligator SKU: CAK153 Barcode: 677517015317 16.00 £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Car Park Released Date: 29th October 2021 Buying Format: 12" Coloured Vinyl EP/Mini Album Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info “I think my music provides space for me to say the things I can’t always say in real life.” says Virginia native songwriter and multi-media artist Corrinne James. “That’s what I love about songwriting—There’s room in music for all of the conversations that can’t exist in reality.” While studying New Media and Cinematography at the University of Virginia, James created a secret Bandcamp under the alias Naomi Alligator, and began uploading her intimate home recordings online. Inspired by the sparse and confessional qualities of Liz Phair’s early portastudio recordings, James decided to create her own musical journal to share and process personal anecdotes. Her modern folk production and poetic songwriting links the sounds of classic folk artists like Joan Baez and Steeleye Span to a 21st century context. James wrestles with guilt, purpose, and jealousy through vivid narratives in the songs that make up her vast self-releases. This fall, five years since her first upload and over a dozen releases later, James will share her new four-track EP, Concession Stand Girl, while making her debut on Carpark. On the title track for Concession Stand Girl that opens the EP, James sings the inner monologue of an unappreciated ticket-taker at a high school football game. James plucks a sparkly banjo and sings details of the concession stand girl’s relationship to each of the spectators who must go through her to enter the game. “Although seemingly insignificant, the concession stand girl must interact with each spectator as they enter the football game. Despite being unable to physically see the game, inside of her head she narrates her relationship to the people at the game.” The track “Anywhere Else” sits in contrast to the rest of the EP, being the only song where James plays guitar instead of banjo. The last song written for the EP, “Anywhere Else” describes the tense emotions that come from comparing yourself to others in the eyes of your partner. “The protagonist is convincing herself, as well as her partner, that she could leave at any moment. She doesn’t want to be taken for granted anymore.” “Big Blue World” is a touching closer to the EP, where James sings about finding her way back to the place that feels most like home. James examines the fleeting nature of ambition and asks what really creates the feeling of contentment. Describing the song’s lyrics James says, “You can achieve everything you want, but sometimes it doesn’t feel like anything compared to just feeling at home and feeling who you are deep down.” Artist Naomi Alligator Genre Folk Label Car Park Buying Options 12" Coloured Vinyl EP/Mini Album Format 12" , Coloured Vinyl , EP/Mini Album Condition New Country UK Track Listings Concession Stand Girl Momma Anywhere Else Big Blue World Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Naomi Alligator and more from Folk View Product Quick View Naomi Alligator Double Knot Folk | Carpark Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 15th July 2022 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Naomi Alligator Double Knot £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Carpark Records SKU: CAK161LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 15th July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View CocoRosie Heartache City Folk | Lost Girl Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes 7" Released 29th January 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders CocoRosie Heartache City £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Lost Girl Records SKU: LGR001LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes 7" Released Date: 29th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cinder Well No Summer Folk | Free Dirt Records | 1LP Released 24th July 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cinder Well No Summer £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Free Dirt Records SKU: DIRTLP0098 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th July 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Clarissa Connelly The Voyager Folk | CCM | 1LP Released 2nd April 2021 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Clarissa Connelly The Voyager £15.00 Genre: Folk Label: CCM SKU: CCMUSIC03LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Nickel Creek Nickel Creek Americana / Country | Sugar Hill Records | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 23rd August 2023 £70.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Nickel Creek Nickel Creek £70.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Sugar Hill Records SKU: nn269829 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 23rd August 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Henry Jamison Gloria Duplex Folk | Akira Records | 1LP Released 1st February 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Henry Jamison Gloria Duplex £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Akira Records SKU: AKIRA005LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stan Rogers Northwest Passage Folk | Borealis | 1LP Released 3rd August 2018 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stan Rogers Northwest Passage £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Borealis SKU: FCM004 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nancy Priddy You’ve Come This Way Before Folk | Modern Harmonic / Sundazed | 1LP Released 21st February 2020 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nancy Priddy You’ve Come This Way Before £26.00 Genre: Folk Label: Modern Harmonic / Sundazed SKU: LPMH8044 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Laura J Martin Dazzle Days Folk | Static Caravan | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 15th November 2013 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Laura J Martin Dazzle Days £14.00 Genre: Folk Label: Static Caravan SKU: VAN265 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 15th November 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peat & Diesel Live at Barrowlands 2020 Folk | Wee Studio Records | 2LP Released 29th January 2021 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peat & Diesel Live at Barrowlands 2020 £28.00 Genre: Folk Label: Wee Studio Records SKU: WSPD6 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 29th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tony Conrad & Jennifer Walshe In The Merry Month of May Folk | Blue Chopsticks | 1LP Released 24th May 2024 £27.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Tony Conrad & Jennifer Walshe In The Merry Month of May £27.00 Genre: Folk Label: Blue Chopsticks SKU: BC33 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th May 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
