Description
New York-based cellist/composer Julia Kent’s celebrated second album, Green and Grey (2011), is to be released on vinyl for the very first time for Black Friday 2019. Across two discs, on green and grey coloured vinyl (naturally), this expanded edition features the preceding Last Day in July EP (2010) and two previously unreleased tracks. Green and Grey explores the intersections between the human world and the natural world, the melding of the technological and the organic using Kent’s now trademark looped and layered cello, electronics, and field recordings. It references the patterns and repetitions that exist in nature often mirrored in human creations and also the complexity and fragility of our relationships, with one another and with the world that surrounds us. Without collaborators – other than the insects, weather, and wind sounds that create a sort of exoskeleton for the music – she has created an intensely personal landscape that references the way nature, however subverted and endangered by our modern world, still retains its power. To coincide with the release, Julia will tour the UK on a double bill with Erased Tapes saxophonist Daniel Thorne. Her performances feature an exclusive collaboration with acclaimed French video artist Antoine Schmitt. Originally released in 2011, Green and Grey gets the long awaited vinyl treatment on The Leaf Label Green and grey coloured double vinyl LP plus download code in a gatefold sleeve
