Hatch

The new Black Hen release by Canada's Joey Wright is a beautiful clutch of songs. The many layers of textured sounds are woven together by masterful musicianship with pure intent. There is an otherworldly vein that runs through the album and the mix of songs and instrumentals takes you on an exciting journey of sound and images. Recorded to 2" tape. Hatch has the depth and richness of a classic analog recording. The vocals truly complete sound of these songs, back up vocals by Jenny Whiteley are throughout while guests Amy Millan and Sarah Harmer are featured. This album draws on Pop, Country, Rock, Psychedelic and stays earthly all the while. Wright's influences range from Beck and Elliott Smith to classic country, bluegrass and sixties songwriters. A feast for the ears.
