Ken Yates - Quiet Talkers (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 3

Awesome news!

 

New album, Total Cinema, out in June!

"Total Cinema" Vinyl Record (Pre-Order) — Ken Yates

 

Instant preorder. Title track is excellent. Gotta get a thread going!

 

Arrived today. Put it on the turntable this evening when we had some guests over and it sounded really good. Looking forward to getting a closer listen in tomorrow.

 

Gotta go grab mine from the Post Office! Excited to receive it early.

 

How a preorder should be!

(P.S., I haven't forgotten that I'm supposed to send you that record. Hoping to make it to the post office this week to mail it out.)

 

lol I’d already forgotten. send it when you can, it’ll be a nice surprise!

 

“Perennials” just absolutely guts me every time I hear it. Yates writes about grief in a more emotionally tangible way than any other folk songwriter I can think of.

 

Something about the guitar and overall stormy/swampy summer night vibe of "The Great Resolution" reminds me very much of Bon Iver's "Perth," and I can't think of higher praise than that. An amazing song.

 

My vinyl showed up on Tuesday and just want to say that I love this album so much.

 

This album is great. I love the guitar tones he has going on. Kind of reminiscent of Ryan Adams self titled/prisoner era.

 

Just getting around to the new one. Really really love it on first listen.

 

Want to bump this thread because (1) it’s about to be prime Yates season and (2) a songwriter friend of his named Brian Dunne just put out an absolutely fantastic new record. It’s a lot brighter, reminds me of Butch Walker at times. I made a thread about it!

Checking this out today!

Also, been circling back on Total Cinema big time as it starts to cool down and turn toward fall. Ken seems to insist on putting his records out in the spring, but they are total autumn vibes for me.
