Bloomsbury EP

Los Angeles-based trio Princeton has released their second recording, the Bloomsbury EP on Striking Peasant Recordings. The group lives in an aging green house on a hillside in the Eagle Rock district of LA where they hermetically pieced together the songs for Bloomsbury. Each composition on the EP is lyrically focused upon a member of the influential Bloomsbury intellectual collective that existed in London during the early 20th century. Lyrical portraits of Leonard Woolf, Lytton Strachey, Virginia Woolf and John Maynard Keynes are each presented in a different musical framework with lush orchestral arrangements that draw from a collage of influences including Serge Gainsbourg, The Kinks, Jorge Ben, and Jean Claude Vannier to name a few. The record was mixed by Pete Weiss (Moe Tucker, Lee Ranaldo, Aimee Mann) and mastered by Jeff Lipton (The Magnetic Fields, Spoon, Jeff Tweedy/Wilco).
