Sam Gendel & Abe Rounds w/ Arny MargretWelcomed by WDCBALL AGES Blake Mills, Pino Palladino Arny Margret COVID-19 PolicyPlease review our current COVID-19 policy here: www.evanstonspace.com/covidpolicy GENRE: Instrumental ABOUT THE ARTISTS Contradictory as it sounds, Pino Palladino is possibly the most famous working session bassist. The 63-year-old Welshman is known for his glissando tone and melodic fills, and he has built a four-decade career as the ultimate supporting player: providing a Stravinsky-inspired fretless performance on Paul Young’s 1983 U.K. number No. 1 Marvin Gaye cover “Wherever I Lay My Head,” contributing to neo-soul landmarks Mama’s Gun and Voodoo, joining The Who after the death of original bassist John Entwhistle in 2002, and much more. Notes With Attachments is the first album released under Palladino’s own name, co-headlining with producer and instrumentalist Blake Mills. The 34-year-old Mills has a similar history as a supporting player, producing for artists like Perfume Genius and Alabama Shakes and facilitating Fiona Apple’s playing on Bob Dylan’s 2020 album Rough and Rowdy Ways. After first collaborating on John Legend’s 2016 album Darkness and Light, the pair developed songs from Palladino’s archive of musical sketches, recording with a small group of players at famed Los Angeles studio Sound City in a series of sessions spanning two and a half years. Notes With Attachments is an elusive instrumental album, subtle despite the pun in its title. The songs are based around repeating chord changes inspired by funk, West African, and Cuban music, but the continuously shifting arrangements mean that no one instrument carries the melody for long. It’s the sound of consummate collaborators imagining a world where there’s no such thing as a lead performer. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/pino-palladino-blake-mills-notes-with-attachments/ Arny Margret is a 20 year old singer-songwriter from the Westfjords of Iceland. Born and raised in a small town called Ísafjörður, she attended a music school from the age of six learning to play the piano. When she was 14 she got her first guitar and spent hours and days in her bedroom teaching herself to play it, slowly reaching the confidence to write her own music. Her music and lyrics paint beautiful and yet painful images inspired by her personal experiences and surroundings. Through her music one can almost experience how it is to live in an isolated place, surrounded by tall mountains that block the sun for a few months every year. Her music can best be described as indie folk and although Arny Margret clearly has a sound of her own, she draws influence from the likes of Adrianne Lenker, Aldous Harding, Billie Marten and fellow Icelander Ásgeir. Arny Margret is currently recording her debut album at studio Hljóðriti in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland. https://www.arnymargret.com/
