Lionlimb – Tape Recorder (2018) [Qobuz FLAC 24bit/44,1kHz]

Nashville’s Lionlimb is a psych-inflected rock outfit centering on singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Stewart Bronaugh. Originally formed in 2010, Lionlimb was shelved for several years as Bronaugh spent time working in Chicago and San Francisco before returning to Nashville in 2014. Once back in Nashville, Bronaugh resurrected Lionlimb, collaborating on new music with drummer Joshua Jaeger. This second full-length album from Lionlimb forgoes the layered production of their debut in favor of a minimal look at ensemble work. Recorded live in New York in the spring of 2017, the resulting album surprises with new instrumentation and a spacious sound that highlights the individuality of each player across these six songs about family and memory.

There’s an unrestrained spontaneity woven through Lionlimb’s lilting six-track album, Tape Recorder. It’s the second project from the psych-inflected folk rock outfit made up of of Stewart Bronaugh and Joshua Jaeger, who have also played as bandmates alongside Angel Olsen outside of their work together for Lionlimb (Bronaugh no longer plays with Angel, but Jaeger does). Bronaugh wrote most of Tape Recorder in a secluded basement practice space on the Columbia University campus last winter, endeavoring to find new ways to articulate his sound. Speaking from Los Angeles, he talks about the collective energy that permeates the album’s ambience and how music can reflect the human experience. Tape Recorder does feel more raw and stripped-down than Lionlimb’s 2016 album Shoo. It seems to hang delicately in some balance between wistful and euphoric, which is something Bronaugh said he strove for while he was composing it. Bronaugh intentionally waited to hear the album played full until it was ultimately recorded live. He explains that he wanted the dynamic parts of the music to come from the musicians who were bringing it to life.
