Chances Are Staying

VINYL FORMAT. Debut vinyl release from Californian droniac Sean McCann. Recorded in the summer of 2009, this album was meant to be a continuation of the kaleidoscopic sound of his first albums, Phylum Sigh and Frame Of Mind. While still beaming with beauty and grace, this record demands a bit more from the listener than his other works. The first side of Chances Are Staying explores stringed melodic minimalism ala Tony Conrad, yet with much more poignant and somber motifs. The second side displays the ambit of his sound, from rapturous (and even ... grooving?!) violin and saxophone blurs to ecstatic mind-warps. This record stands as a pillar in the dawn of this young man's career. Guaranteed to make your heart shine with memories of affection and glimpses of an uncertain future. Full color matte jackets with insert -- in a hand-numbered edition of 400 mastered by Pete Swanson.
