{"product_id":"macie-stewart-when-the-distance-is-blue-vinyl-lp","title":"When The Distance Is Blue - Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the Distance is Blue is Macie Stewart's International Anthem debut. The Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and improviser describes the collection as \"a love letter to the moments we spend in-between\"-a letter realized via an intentional return to piano, her first instrument and the origin of her creative expression. Here Stewart creates a striking and cinematic work through collages of prepared piano, field recordings, and string quartet compositions, one that gives shape to a transient universe all it's own while tracing the line of her musical past, full circle. Long-heralded in musician circles for her versatility, Stewart stands as a distinguished, go-to collaborator across genre and style, with a collaborative CV that reads like a dream year-end list-performing strings for Makaya McCraven or Japanese Breakfast; singing harmonies with Tweedy; arranging for Alabaster DePlume, Resavoir, Mannequin Pussy, or SZA; co-leading the jagged art-rock experimentation of Finom, her duo with songwriter Sima Cunningham. This varied-yet-distinct sound has led to a name recognition that goes beyond the devoted liner note enthusiast. When the Distance is Blue finds her gathering those threads and focusing those sensibilities into a contemplative 8-piece song cycle with help from noted collaborators Lia Kohl, Whitney Johnson (Matchesse), and Zach Moore. The result is an album with a musical lexicon which lands somewhere between Alvin Curran's Songs and Views from the Magnetic Garden and Claire Rousay's A Softer Focus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macie Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46972798599343,"sku":"634457198289","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshized.com\/products\/macie-stewart-when-the-distance-is-blue-vinyl-lp","provider":"Freshized","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
