Vocalist and guitarist Jørn Kaarstad’s unmistakably raspy voice and crushing riffs hit satisfyingly hard with the snappy drumming and fat bass tone of drummer Olav Dowkes and bassist Bård Linga. Songs like “Herticules” effortlessly pull off the transition between melodic choruses and punishing breakdowns, while the title track “Molotov Rocktail” is two minutes of pure stoner punk paradise

BIO ARTWORK

F.S.Blumm and Nils Frahm have confirmed details of their fourth collaborative album, 2X1=4, which will be released on September 3, 2021, by LEITER, the new label formed by Frahm and his manager, Felix Grimm in cooperation with BMG . The seven-track album finds the duo unexpectedly exploring a dub-influenced universe, though in truth it’s one already familiar to both. F.S.Blumm, for instance, is co- founder of Quasi Dub Development, whose 2014 album, Little-Twister vs Stiff-Neck, featured Lady Ann and Lee Scratch Perry, while Frahm’s music – not least 2018’s All Melody – has occasionally betrayed a fondness for the form’s associated studio techniques, though he concedes wryly that his approach has always been “a little bit more German” than his influences.

WWW.ANDREWWK.COM WWW.NAPALMRECORDS.COM NAPALMRECORDS /USER/NAPALMRECORDS /NAPALMRECORDSOFFICIAL /NAPALMRECORDS MY BLUEGRASS HEART RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 10, 2021

BIO MY BLUEGRASS HEART, out September 10, 2021 on Renew Records, is that return the 15-time Grammy winner is talking about – the third chapter in a decades-spanning trilogy which, by his counting, started with 1988’s Drive and continued with The Bluegrass Sessions, released eleven years later. Over the long and lauded course of his unique creative run, BÉLA FLECK—the world’s premier virtuoso and a celebrated musical adventurer —has both dug deep into his instrument’s complex global history and unlocked the breadth of its possibilities. MY BLUEGRASS HEART is a homecoming in sound, to be sure. Born in and named for the classical giants Bartok, Webern, and Janacek, Fleck first tuned into his musical soul through TV, radio and a lucky encounter on a train ride with a banjo player. A move to some years later immersed him in the sound’s heartland, and led to a spot in the acclaimed progressive bluegrass band New Grass Revival. That stint, in turn, led to the Drive album (now often considered a classic) and the collection of Fleck’s core group of bluegrass comrades, including mandolinist and fellow New Grass Revivalist Sam Bush, guitarist , fiddle player Stuart Duncan, bassist Mark Schatz and dobro player , who all (except for Rice, who passed away in 2020) appear on Drive, Bluegrass Sessions, and now, MY BLUEGRASS HEART. More than anything, it was this group of musicians that drew Fleck home to bluegrass the third time. As the years since Bluegrass Sessions stretched into decades, compositions that seemed earmarked —consciously and unconsciously—for that gang began to pile up. He was hesitant to begin but he didn’t want the songs to disappear, either. So, he started looking closer at the bluegrass scene and discovered, to his delight, a new generation of players had been “BÉLA FLECK has taken banjo playing to some very unlikely places—not just bluegrass and flourishing, some of whom he knew – like mandolinist and MacArthur fellow Chris Thile, or country and “newgrass,” but also into classical concertos, and a documentary about the multi-instrumentalist Sierra Hull, whose Grammy-nominated 2016 album Weighted Mind Fleck banjo’s deep African roots, not to mention the time he toured with throat singers from Tuva. had produced—and some he didn’t, like Billy Strings and fiddle avant-gardist Billy He’s also baffled the Grammy awards, winning for country and jazz in the same year and Contreras, who Thile introduced him to. Old friends made new ones, and together they made a also winning in pop, , classical crossover and, yes, folk. That’s a lot of territory record—one that bridges musical generations. And what started as a single album became a for five strings.” –JON PARELES, The New York Times double album. The intricate, slow-creeping “Charm School,” with its wide-open, jazz-style jam and energetic interplay between soloists showed off the individuality within the group. “Vertigo,” first written and performed for what Fleck calls the Telluride “House Band,” including Sam Bush and Jerry TRACKLISTING Douglas, plays rhythmic tricks that mimic its loopy title. CD1 CD2 In seriousness, though, MY BLUEGRASS HEART is vividly collaborative, and part of Fleck’s talent as a leader is encouraging his bandmates to shine. If the band is an amalgamation of 1. VERTIGO 1. STRIDER generations, ideas and style, the songs are maybe even more so. It’s not a straight bluegrass 2. THE OLD NORTH WOODS 2.
