Produced by Kelly Marie Martin and Ben Townsend.This is Kelly Marie Martin’s first solo album. As a friend said, “It’s a breakup record.” She used to write songs with that friend (Kelly and David as the Twilight Auguries). Kelly also used to make sound pieces, sound designs for video works. Until she got turned on to old time music - the deep and winding stream of American fiddle and banjo tunes and songs and her whole life changed. It happened to happen as she was falling in love. She married the guy and they had a band, an old time trio (Triple Chicken Foot) for over ten years. They did a lot of cool stuff, travelled, met some wonderful people and helped to grow a community of players and dancers in Los Angeles. Then it all fell apart. This is all splitting seams, threads laid bare to be expected. The dark rip ruptured. A marriage broken. No details here. Not necessary, it’s results this album. A few of the songs were written in the inspirational cloud of learning to play old time music, a few while mired in the heartbreak (hail to dark chocolate, wine and weed!) And a few while at the Turkey Land Cove Foundation residency in Martha’s Vineyard in October of 2016. The sound interludes are a favored mode of working -- aural poetics. Ambient sounds captured while rambling round this world or by chance, hearing her uncle’s voice on an old film interviewing the McGee brothers in 1975 or asking the poet who had written a poem about the word “failure” to speak it for her. Add a little synth, some feedback guitar, these sound pieces work to weave the whole thing into one. Enjoy and hum. Thrive and strum.
