Duane Betts has shared a gorgeous acoustic duo rendition of “Colors Fade,” a standout track originally released in its full band version on his 2023 debut album, Wild & Precious Life.
“Johnny Stachela and I recorded this in the study of my dad’s house as he listened down the hall while we played. For that reason alone, it’s a very special memory. I think you can hear the magic we were feeling.” - Duane Betts

The Means of Production, six of Brooklyn’s most captivating subterranean improvisers, have released their self-titled, debut LP. As psych outlet of record @ravensingstheblues recently noted, “...sparkling with heady hues and pristine curves.”
Comprised by Matt Gibbs, Ben Pirani, Tre D’Ambrocia, Rafferty Swink, Pat Carr and Jay Mumford, their histories weave through credits of artists like Evolfo, Sinkane, Lizzie No, Ralph Weeks and Madlib.
Initially formed to back Ben Pirani, The Means would forge a tight musical bond over the ensuing years of touring, rehearsing and embracing ‘60s no edits style recording sessions for Pirani’s @coleminerecords’ output.
A natural evolution took place as the kinetic chemistry between the 6 members led to free-form musical experimentation. The Means began to explore the farthest reaches of their connection. Those urgent instrumental takes became what sits before you - a genre-defying kaleidoscope of electric jazz, psych and soul, reverberating through their own telepathic transmissions.
Indeed, The Means can be described as nothing less than “the raw and adventurous sound of NOW.”
Available now on LP + Digital. Link in bio. 👁️🪬👁️

Here’s to #thegoodlife 🌺 @lesliemendelson’s latest single is out now at all the spots - go listen!
“Singer/songwriter Leslie Mendelson shines a little light and love out into the world, toasting to ‘The Good Life’ in a new timeless classic – a tender, heartfelt, and golden-hued song...” - @atwoodmagazine 💫
“I’m a huge fan of ‘70s country music like Waylon Jennings, Glen Campbell, Kris Kristofferson, etc. and I think this song’s lyric and feel evoke that era. We have the legendary Waddy Wachtel on guitar and Jim Keltner on drums and the amazing Derrick Anderson on bass driving it home. I hope you can hear and feel the joy in the room when we recorded it.“ - Leslie Mendelson ☀️

Barn Burner: Live At Levon’s
We're super excited to tell you about Marco Benevento's new album, ‘Barn Burner: Live At Levon’s,’ due out March 29, 2024 on RPF. It features 13 performances—recorded earlier this year on January 13-14 at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, NY—that span Marco's eight studio albums.
To be released on both vinyl and digital formats, the LP edition includes 2 records pressed on 180-gram, classic black vinyl with a beautiful gatefold jacket designed by High Tide NYC. The tracks were selected by Marco and mixed with Chris Bittner at APPLEHEAD RECORDING & PRODUCTION
In Marco's own words: “Our shows at Levon’s barn are always my favorites. I can walk to the gig from my house, but even more important, the vibes are amazing! The staff, the sound, the energy of the audience, and of course, Levon’s spirit burning bright inside those four walls is like nowhere else. After several years of playing there, it seemed like the right time to multi-track the shows and pick my favorites from each night for official release. We were on fire the entire run. Karina Rykman and Chris Corsico sound so, so good on these tunes. I think you'll love having a document of the band at this point in our history.”
Pre-order for the 2-LP vinyl set, including signed copies, plus three tracks, "Coyote Hearing," "Send It On A Rocket," and "Oh Baby Can't You See" out NOW here: https://orcd.co/barnburnerlive
We'll celebrate the release of Barn Burner: Live At Levon's with two shows back at Levon's barn on March 29-30, 2024. Tickets go on-sale this Friday, November 17 at 10am ET.
