The Gold String Devon Sproule SKU: TAR071LP Barcode: 5052442009887 16.00 £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Tin Angel Released Date: 24th March 2017 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Devon Sproule’s “Gold String” is North American music with weirdo roots. Recorded in three different Canadian provinces — Yukon, Ontario, and Nova Scotia — the short, lush LP features backing from Toronto dream-poppers Bernice. The deep, sparse “Drawing Circles” is a song by Sproule’s Tin Angel labelmate Ed Askew. Two songs are co-written with Mike O’Neill (Inbreds) and mixed by Sandro Perri. Sproule’s husband Paul Curreri sings, plays, mixes, and produces. “I was staying in a tiny house all by myself, on a windy island out in the North sea. My daily human contact was waving to a farmer while he trained his 9-month-old sheepdog, Jan, for a herding competition. I had a little map of the ruins in the area, but I never really felt like it. I was gravitating toward the more modest plants and birds, considering all the people in my life. Everything seemed hyper-connected. So I postponed dinner — which is always easy because I can’t cook — & begin to write these long, long lines of lyrics. They were way less labored than usual, less chiseled into a meter. But I found that if I narrowed the melody to a few notes — almost like a chant — the ideas began to string themselves together. That song became ‘The Gold String.’ ‘More Together’ is half-about reconciliation — no doubt about it. But it’s also about the relief you feel when you stop needing to set yourself apart in the world. When we lived in Austin, we got this crazy cheap gym membership thanks to a friend’s Costco card. Sometimes on the elliptical, I’d peek at the other folks around me. We were all so sweaty, leaning forward, our music in our headphones, just working. I was surprised how happy I was to be a part of the tribe. So I wrote that into the second verse, along with an image of the sweat lodge we had at Twin Oaks when I was growing up.” Devon Sproule is a Canadian/American musician living in rural Virginia, raised on eco-villages near Kingston, Ontario and Louisa, Virginia. The 34-year-old, in addition to being a musician, is a high school drop-out, a birder, doula, and a student of Deaf Culture and sign language. She has been married to producer Paul Curreri for 11 years. “Sproule’s lyrics glance off each other arrestingly, juxtaposing images.” – Financial Times “Her quirky affectations bring to mind Bjork, and forays into the dark, Michelle Shocked.” – Village Voice Artist Devon Sproule Genre Folk Label Tin Angel Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Listen To This Make It Safe Trees At Your Mom's The Gold String Drawing Circles Jana More Together Tree Detail Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Folk View Product Quick View Josephine Foster And the Supposed All The Leaves Are Gone Folk | Fire Records | 1LP Released 29th November 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Josephine Foster And the Supposed All The Leaves Are Gone £18.00 Genre: Folk Label: Fire Records SKU: FIRELP426 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Barna Howard Quite A Feelin Folk | Loose Music | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th May 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Barna Howard Quite A Feelin £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Loose Music SKU: VJLP223 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th May 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Nickel Creek A Dotted Line Americana / Country | Nonesuch | 1LP, Includes CD Released 23rd August 2023 £40.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Nickel Creek A Dotted Line £40.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Nonesuch SKU: nn269825 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 23rd August 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Dervish The Great Irish Songbook Folk | Rounder | 1LP Released 12th April 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dervish The Great Irish Songbook £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Rounder SKU: 7208896 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rozi Plain Friend Folk | Lost Map | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 4th May 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rozi Plain Friend £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Lost Map SKU: LAT003LP Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 4th May 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Declan O’Rourke Arrivals Folk | East West | 1LP Released 9th April 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Declan O’Rourke Arrivals £18.00 Genre: Folk Label: East West SKU: 0190295139636 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Psych!
