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 Cornshed Sisters, The Tell Tales Folk | Memphis Industries | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th April 2012 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cornshed Sisters, The Tell Tales £14.00 Genre: Folk Label: Memphis Industries SKU: MI0214LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th April 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jackie Leven Straight Outta Caledonia Folk | School Daze | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 30th July 2021 £20.00 - £21.00 Select options Reserve View Reservations Jackie Leven Straight Outta Caledonia £20.00 - £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: School Daze Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 30th July 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Select options View Product Quick View Six Organs Of Admittance Time is Glass Folk | Drag City | 1LP Released 26th April 2024 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Six Organs Of Admittance Time is Glass £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Drag City SKU: DC869 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kathryn Joseph Bones You Have Thrown Me And Blood I’ve Spilled Folk | Hits The Fan Records | 180g, 1LP Released 8th June 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kathryn Joseph Bones You Have Thrown Me And Blood I’ve Spilled £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Hits The Fan Records SKU: HTF002LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 8th June 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joni Mitchell Blue Folk | Rhino | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th October 2022 £26.00 - £29.00 Select options Joni Mitchell Blue £26.00 - £29.00 Genre: Folk Label: Rhino Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th October 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Morganway Morganway Folk | Morganway / UE Records | 1LP Released 2nd August 2019 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Morganway Morganway £25.00 Genre: Folk Label: Morganway / UE Records SKU: MWLP1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jennifer Castle Pink City Folk | No Quarter | 1LP Released 1st September 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jennifer Castle Pink City £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: No Quarter SKU: NOQ042LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Radical Face The Family Tree: The Branches Folk | Nettwerk | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 1st November 2013 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Radical Face The Family Tree: The Branches £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Nettwerk SKU: 3098717 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 1st November 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bert Jansch A Man Id Rather Be (Part 1) Folk | Earth Records | 4LP, Box Set Released 23rd January 2018 £51.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bert Jansch A Man Id Rather Be (Part 1) £51.00 Genre: Folk Label: Earth Records SKU: EARTHLP023 Formats: 4LP, Box Set Released Date: 23rd January 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Tannahill Weavers The Tannahill Weavers Folk | Plant Life | 1LP Released 3rd June 2013 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Tannahill Weavers The Tannahill Weavers £8.00 Genre: Folk Label: Plant Life SKU: NN57565 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd June 2013 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Folk Start again
