from jambands.com today:

Slip guitarist Brad Barr has completed his next solo album, The Fall Apartment: Instrumental Guitar. The instrumental collection will arrive via New York’s Tompkins Square label on September 16, featuring a mix of new originals and covers ranging from Cuban musician Ernesto Lecuona’s “Maria La O” to Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box” to Le Trio Ferret’s “Gin Gin.” The album will also feature Barr’s latest batch of originals, including the inspired “Sarah Through The Wall.” The Slip will spend most of the fall on the road backing singer/songwriter Sonya Kitchell.

woo woo!!

Awesome! Though I didn't know it was going to be all instrumental, he has so many good ones with lyrics these days, Ooh Belle, Monster, etc...

oh nice... can't wait to hear it!

but yeah, when do we get a solo album from brad with him singing?

Yay, I'm looking forward to hearing this!! As Brad is definitely one of the BEST guitarist of all time!

Hopefully, they will have it at the merch table for the Sonya/Slip shows this fall, I would love to get my hands on this one ;}

I also wish that The Slip will be doing an opening set for these Sonya/Slip shows, that would be the coolest!

I was just talking to brad about this, looks like he found a label. "War" is on it as well. I think for now he is saving the lyrical songs (Monster, Devil's Harp etc.) for Super Little - which he is trying to do things like movie soundtracks and stuff with. He's in search of an outlet that gels with the slow pretty folk tunes well...

And the Slip is where on the man's agenda?

tompkins is such a great label. brad is in really really good company.

He also had a track (Bouba's Bounce) on Tompkins Square Records first release Imaginational Anthem back a few years ago.

wait did my second post get modded or did i just forget to press post?

It was modded. Please don't post links for illegal downloads of any music. Especially from music that a member of The Slip is on. Further still from the small record label that will be putting Brad's album out soon. I hope everyone supports this album when it drops.

1. Sarah Through the Wall
2. Bouba's Bounce
3. Maria la O
4. Still Shiver
5. War
6. Heart Shaped Box

Absolutely!!!

Good for you, Clinton.

hoby

kind of interested to see how Brad will be able to make Nirvana, erm, interesting.

i've got a feeling there's going to be a lot of layering and heavily distorted guitar ala the heart shaped box jam in cut from the cloth

It comes out on my birthday! Holla
