Friends, roadfellows and instrumental guitarists Cameron and Eli are putting an album out tomorrow on American Dreams Records.
Recording a record together may seem like a natural and intuitive decision - but it was not. Cameron found the idea insurmountable but Eli convinced him that it could work - and it does, beautifully. Cameron's bluegrass-informed flat-picking and Eli's experimentalist finger style guitar work together to create intricate, sophisticated harmonies that are a dream for both passive and active listening - pleasant and extremely pretty, but quite involved and thoughtful.
The nine songs on Anticipation feature more than a few one-take tracks, and there's a largely improvisational, spontaneous nature not only in the songs themselves but in the fact that they recorded the album in a single session. Some people simply work best on a deadline.
Thanks so much to Cameron and Eli for sharing these deep insights into the making of the record. If you haven't yet, pre-order Anticipation on Bandcamp. Make sure to scoop that limited edition bundle!
