Outside Our Gates

Produced and arranged by indie rock icon, Eric Bachmann (Archers Of Loaf, Crooked Fingers, Azure Ray), Outside Our Gates represents a sonic leap forward for Liz Durrett. Her spare, acoustic downbeats have been supplanted by a more textured and diverse orchestra of sounds. A virtual cacophony of instruments are here (strings, wurlitzers, accordions, grand space pianos, and marching drums) and Bachmann's score somehow harmonizes them seamlessly to provide the perfect setting for Liz's near stream of consciousness writings and soft, pitch-perfect voice. Additional performances by Vic Chesnutt, Brian Causey (Man Or Astro-Man?), Amanda Kapousouz (Tin Cup Phrophette), and members of Ham1.
