Point Reyes – bolachas.org

a BOLACHAS.org premiere

GOLDEN GOLDEN GOLDEN GOLDEN

This is how the new Point Reyes album, aptly titled Golden begins. If you’ve been following them since we first posted their debut EP, Wetnurse/Point Reyes early last year, you’ll notice quite a lot of stuff has changed in their music. Opening track “Golden” relies quite a bit on new member Nini Julia Bang’s impressive backup vocals – and dude, you’ll be amazed when the Danish singer takes the spotlight later in the record. The good news? You can stream the whole thing now on Big School Records’ bandcamp and download the title track through our soundcloud. Over and out. STAY GOLDEN.

To get Brooklyn band POINT REYES off the ground, Asa Horvitz suggested that percussionist Kyle Farrell and cellist Daniel Bindschedler join him in Warsaw, Poland (where he was working supported by a Fulbright grant) to spend four months writing, rehearsing, and giving concerts in a completely foreign environment. Farrell and Bindschedler jumped at the opportunity and in May 2011 the trio moved into a sunny attic loft across from the Vistula river. Throughout the summer of 2011, POINT REYES immersed themselves in Poland: they performed in towns where no Americans had performed before, rehearsed ten hours a day in the basement of the Fryderyk Chopin Academy of Music, studied Polish, swam in flooded meadows, became obsessed with Communist architecture, played festivals in Krakow and Berlin, collaborated with Polish musicians and theater artists, and wrote and recorded their debut full length album. The project was funded in part by the Fulbright grant awarded to Horvitz. POINT REYES’ debut album is the culmination of their time in Poland. It will be released on CAKES AND TAPES (Portugal) in January 2012.

I’m so glad I’m able to work with talented people like this trio. For you, here’s BUILDINGS. Free streaming and download below. WARSZAWA is out tomorrow, January 12th 2012.
