Initially recorded in his bedroom before adding finishing touches in the studio, the tracks have a lo-fi warmth akin to Bleeker’s American heroes The Feelies & Yo La Tengo. I’ve known Alex Bleeker my entire life. Well, okay, maybe not since I was born, but there’s no doubt that I’ve shared a fair bit of memories with him over the years. We’ve acted in high school productions of Shakespeare together, gone on late-night diner runs, argued about which Weezer album is the band’s best, and swapped mutual appreciation for the music of Yo La Tengo on car rides careening around the snaky suburbia of our hometown. Just like his Real Estate bandmates Martin Courtney and Julian Lynch, we attended high school in the New Jersey enclave of Ridgewood, a place where sticky summer days yielded cool nights with a glow so nocturnal that you can practically hear the fireflies buzzing off of this sentence alone. Indie rock—a type of music that can easily be made or listened to in someone’s garage—often dominates teenage suburban preoccupations, and both Alex and I were no exception. You can hear this legacy of listening on his new album Heaven on the Faultline, which departs from his last full-band outing as Alex Bleeker and the Freaks, 2015’s Country Agenda. Whereas that album had a more full-bodied explicitly folk-y feel, Heaven on the Faultline finds Bleeker getting back to his homespun roots over the course of its 13 songs, from the jangly guitar pop of New Jersey heroes the Feelies and YLT’s hushed, acoustic reveries to the open-hearted folk rock that marks so much of the Grateful Dead’s early catalog. Written and recorded over the last several years, Heaven on the Faultline’s songs were initially recorded straight to GarageBand in Bleeker’s bedroom before receiving further studio refinement in co-producer Phil Hartunian’s Tropico Beauty space in Los Angeles. With contributions from Confusing Mix of Nations’ Josh Da Costa, Cameron Stallones of Sun Araw, singer-songwriter Kacey Johansing, and Parting Lines’ Tim Ramsey, Heaven on the Faultline achieves a warm and intimate feel that defines Bleeker’s mission for the album: “I wanted to capture the moment in which I fell in love with making music to begin with. This is music for myself—me getting back to music for music’s sake.” The unsteady times we live in certainly creep into view on Heaven on the Faultline. The deceptively easygoing “D Plus” was written on the day of President Donald Trump’s inauguration with the cursed event in mind, while the anxiety of climate change hovers just above the lovely guitar loops of “Felty Feel.” “The album is very much about dealing with the anxiety of a sense of impending doom,” Bleeker states while discussing the album’s portentous vibes. “When is the hammer going to fall? How do we go forward in the face of such anxiety and experience the complexity of life?” Artist Alex Bleeker Genre Folk Label Nightbloom Records Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings AB Ripoff D plus Felty Feel Heaven On The Faultline Heavy Tupper LaLaLa Mashed Potatoes Swang Parking Lot Reach For My Brain Tamalpais Twang Lonesome Call Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Folk View Product Quick View Gob Iron Death Songs for the Living Americana / Country | Transmit Sound | 1LP Released 21st June 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gob Iron Death Songs for the Living £16.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Transmit Sound SKU: TS2021LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View North Sea Radio Orchestra Dronne Folk | The Household Mark | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 9th September 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders North Sea Radio Orchestra Dronne £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: The Household Mark SKU: THM004LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 9th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Fureys & Davey Arthur, The The Fureys Finest Folk | Telstar | 1LP Released 11th April 2024 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Fureys & Davey Arthur, The The Fureys Finest £8.00 Genre: Folk Label: Telstar SKU: nn284389 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Cherokee Rose Buckskin Folk | Don Giovanni | 1LP Released 11th March 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cherokee Rose Buckskin £25.00 Genre: Folk Label: Don Giovanni SKU: LPDG221 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Johanna Warren Lessons for Mutants Folk | Wax Nine Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th October 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Johanna Warren Lessons for Mutants £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Wax Nine Records SKU: WIX07LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lisa O Piu When This Was The Future Folk | Subliminal Sounds | 1LP Released 30th November 2009 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lisa O Piu When This Was The Future £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Subliminal Sounds SKU: XMLPSUB33 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th November 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tré Burt You, Yeah, You Folk | Oh Boy | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th December 2021 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tré Burt You, Yeah, You £15.00 Genre: Folk Label: Oh Boy SKU: OBR066 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th December 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Richard Thompson Henry The Human Fly Folk | Proper | 180g, 1LP Released 28th April 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Richard Thompson Henry The Human Fly £25.00 Genre: Folk Label: Proper SKU: UMCLP030 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 28th April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Essex Green, The Hardly Electronic – Indies Only Folk | Merge Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 26th June 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Essex Green, The Hardly Electronic – Indies Only £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Merge Records SKU: MRG633LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tunng This Is Tunng…Live From The BBC Folk | Full Time Hobby | 1LP Released 8th December 2011 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tunng This Is Tunng…Live From The BBC £13.00 Genre: Folk Label: Full Time Hobby SKU: FTH126LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th December 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
