Loved by the likes of Bill Callahan, Mark Kozelek and Devendra Banhart. The extraordinary creative partnership of New Haven, CT duo Kath Bloom and Loren Connors has haunted folk fans since the early 80s. Kath taught herself guitar during shifts as a janitor at a New Haven cemetery, while Loren’s free-form style had been developing since the late 60s. Between 1981 and 1984, the duo recorded six studio albums, mostly self-released in tiny quantities. Early on, their music mixed folk and blues traditionals with a handful of Kath’s vulnerable, moving originals. By the later albums the songs were all Kath’s – her fragile voice and subdued finger-picking set against Loren’s abstract but always supportive playing. Together the duo created a sound almost impossibly emotional and haunting. Sand In My Shoe emerged in 1983 as the first release on Loren’s new label St. Joan, in an edition of 200-300 copies with handmade sleeves. Two more albums followed before the prodigious duo parted ways in 1984. Kath did not release anything again until a 1993 solo cassette, but then developed a devoted cult following through the pivotal use of her song Come Here in Richard Linklater’s 1995 film Before Sunrise. Kath has since released three solo albums on Chapter Music, as well as the tribute album Loving Takes This Course, featuring the likes of Bill Callahan, Mark Kozelek, Devendra Banhart and Josephine Foster. Loren also retreated from music for a period until re-emerging in the late 1980s. He is now recognised as a pioneering guitar explorer, and has worked with Thurston Moore, Keiji Haino and Jim O’Rourke. After reissuing Kath & Loren’s four studio albums on CD in the late 2000s, Chapter has now embarked on the first ever vinyl reissues for these remarkable records. Restless Faithful Desperate (1984) was reissued in 2018, while Moonlight (1984) will be released alongside Sand In My Shoe in October 2019. Sand In My Shoe includes five digital-only bonus tracks from 1982 live EP Pushin’ Up Daisies, as well as comprehensive digital liner notes. “Kath Bloom…can snap a heart like a twig” – Pitchfork // “Its beauty is almost baffling” – AV Club.
