Reigning Sound - A Little More Time with Reigning Sound
Greg Cartwright. You know him and love him from Oblivians, Compulsive Gamblers, Mary Wells, The Parting Gifts & more has influenced an entire generation of rock musicians to come after him. Everyone from Jay Reatard to Jack White to Dan Auerbach to Ke$ha have named him as a guiding force in their songwriting style, and his work doesn't shine any brighter than with his band The Reigning Sound.
A Little More Time with Reigning Sound is the first album from the band since 2014's Shattered, and sees Cartwright working with the "original Memphis combo" that worked on lauded albums Time Bomb High School, Home for Orphans & Break Up...Break Down. Jeremy Scott (bass), Greg Roberson (drums), and Alex Greene (keyboards) helped create some of Reigning Sound's best moments early in their history, and it's easy to say that their sonic chemistry hasn't faded a bit. The new songs explore fresh lyrical and musical territories but at times also tastefully echo back to albums like Time Bomb High School.
The album was recorded in Memphis with producer Scott Bomar (Al Green, William Bell) at Electraphonic Recording, and features a guest appearance from fellow Merge recording artist (and former Nashvillian) Coco Hames on the track "Just Say When" (which she also co-wrote). The gorgeous album art was made by Dan Melchior, talented artist & a hell of a musician in his own right (Das Menace, The Lloyd Pack). Available now on limited edition yellow and green swirled colored vinyl (Peak Vinyl) and CD. Due to the special nature of this release, preorders are limited to to two (2) per format, per person/household.
