To coincide with the opening of his major forthcoming UK solo exhibition at Baltic (March – June 2017), The Vinyl Factory present a new album of music by the acclaimed Canadian artist Rodney Graham and his band.

‘Gondoliers’ features nine new tracks of lyrical rock and roll.

‘Gondoliers’ follows the release of Graham’s 2016 album, ‘Good Hand, Bad Hand’, also released by The Vinyl Factory and can be seen as the second half of a pairing.

Taking in influences from Steve Gunn to King Tuff and Joan Jett and sounds from shoegaze, to bubblegum metal, country music and sea shanties, each of Graham’s albums are filled with quotations and homages to other musicians.

The individual tracks written for ‘Gondoliers’ also include encounters with an eclectic mix of characters and real figures, from 60s Italian artist ‘Luigi Tenco’ who Graham says “allegedly killed himself at the San Remo Song Festival in 1970 in protest to his song not winning – though many think it was a mafia hit job” to ‘Old Dave Clark’ which is sung in celebration of Dave Clark of The Dave Clark Five.
