The Land
the album
Available September 6, 2006
"Judith and Simon have a certain musical chemistry and the end result is exquisitely simple." >> New Music Canada
"It’s 9:30 p.m. on a July night and the sun is just slipping below the trees on the horizon. You should probably be listening to The Land’s delicate, patient acoustic roots music right now." >> Uptown Magazine
The warm and mellow sound of do-it-yourself production shines through on The Land's debut album. Recording in Judith and Simon's livingroom to a ca. 1980's cassette 4-track recorder forced a minimalist approach that works very well, thank you very much. The focus is vocal harmonies, supported by pared-down spacey instrumentation (combining guitars, viola, violin, glockenspiel, synthesizer, banjo, and mandolin). The CD was manufactured by the most environmentally friendly company on the planet. View full press release
