Tracy Bryant — A Place For Nothing And Everything In Its Place (20 oct. 2017)

 Tracy Bryant — A Place For Nothing And Everything In Its Place Tracy Bryant — A Place For Nothing And Everything In Its Place (20 oct. 2017)ξοξ••       Melodic but challenging post~punk musician and songwriter; founder of the group Corners as well as a solo artist.  “Deftly switching gears between The Gun Club’s piercing howl and Peter Murphy’s brooding goth~pop, Bryant showcases an affinity for the anti~hero and the outcast in his ramshackle rock ‘n’ roll. While Tracy Bryant’s music may call out as a memento from the lonely highway, we can’t help but wish to join him on his journey.”

Details:
♣¤★     Los Angeles based musician Tracy Bryant, as a one of a kind solo artist, is speaking out as an outstanding singer/songwriter who isn’t afraid to dig below the surface. With his work he is filling the gap between lush pop~arrangements and a genuine, distinctive sound. One not hard to enter, but no way to just pass by. While Tracy Bryant’s music may call out as a memento from the lonely highway, we can’t help but wish to join him on his journey.
♣¤★     As the frontman and founder of post~punk experimentalists Corners, he recorded the group’s first album, Beyond Way, in his Echo Park apartment in 2012 with just a four~track tape recorder. While the follow~up LP, Maxed out on Distractions, was very much a group effort, Bryant has continued to cultivate the haunted, solitary sounds that permeate through Beyond Way on his own. Corners toured the U.S. and Europe extensively before Bryant decided to end the band in early 2016 to fully focus on his solo endeavors.
♣¤★     His first full length solo album “Subterranean” was released February 19th, 2016 on Burger Records. Imbued with the studied swagger of Lou Reed and the emotionally damaged earnestness of Johnny Thunders, the 12 songs are a logical extension of Beyond Way’s dark Americana, with layered acoustic guitars, hypnotic electric leads and hushed vocals setting an eerily inviting tone. Recorded in the Arizona desert by Matt Rendon of The Resonars, it was tracked mostly live with the help of friends Joo~Joo Ashworth, Jeremy Katz (Froth) and Cameron Gartung (Mystic Braves). The album garnered positive reviews worldwide and peaked at #43 on the CMJ radio 200 chart.
♣¤★     Upon its release, Bryant embarked on a full band European tour supporting King Khan And The Shrines which culminated with a sold~out show at the 800 capacity Columbia Theater in Berlin, Germany. The band followed the tour with a successful debut at 2016’s SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.
♣¤★     The song “Subterranean” is featured in the Volcom surf film “Psychic Migrations” which also includes songs by Thee Oh Sees, White Fence & more. The film premiered in theaters all over the globe and was distributed worldwide on DVD. The soundtrack was released on limited 12” vinyl by Light In The Attic Records for Record Store Day 2017. “Subterranean” was also featured in the 2016 Transworld Skateboarding film “Substance”.
♣¤★     Recently, Bryant and his band have performed several headlining shows around the west coast as well as playing support shows for Tijuana Panthers, CFM and Guantanamo Baywatch. The Band also performed for this years WSL surf competition at the Billabong House on the North Shore of Hawaii.
♣¤★     With an all~star new band line up consisting of Nick Murray (Thee Oh Sees / White Fence) on drums, Brian Allen (Burnt Ones) on bass and Miles Luttrel (Useless Eaters) on second guitar, the group will be on the road touring the west coast up to Vancouver Island, Canada to play Otalith Festival.
♣¤★     To introduce Bryant’s new album “A Place for Nothing And Everything in its Place” (out on Burger Records October 20th, 2017) he will head over to Europe and the UK for a month long tour in December joined by his European backing band of Brian Allen on bass, Nick Winfrey (Adult Books) on second guitar and Leonard Kaage (Jawbones, Anton Newcombe & Tess Parks) on drums..
♣¤★     “A Place for Nothing And Everything In Its Place” was recorded in early 2016 in Berlin, Germany. Originally conceived to be an introspective acoustic album, the written songs, once in the studio, developed into a fully arranged, conceptual work. With the help of producer Leonard Kaage, the acoustic intention became the red line that guides the nine songs through their variety. Bryant’s lyrics go a more personal way and follow inner and outer conflicts captured through the words of a restless outsider who ends up finding the company of love. The album is filled with dreamy footnotes of piano, 60’s percussion and a more than once appearance of edgy guitars. Imagine a classic singer~songwriter record loaded with the intimacy and grit reminiscent of Alex Chilton or Nikki Sudden. A true milestone that marks an important progression in Bryant’s career as a solo artist. The album got its finishing touch by the mastering of Los Angeles pioneer Dave Cooley (Ariel Pink, The Black Angels, M83).
AllMusic Review by Mark Deming;  Score: ***½
ξοξ     Tracy Bryant originally planned for his 2017 album A Place for Nothing and Everything in Its Place to be a solo acoustic project, which would have been a far cry from the reverb~drenched proto~psychedelia of his 2016 release Subterranean. Somewhere along the line, Bryant and producer Leonard Kaage got other ideas, but even with a rock band behind him, Bryant has served up something distinctly different on A Place for Nothing. Bryant is still clearly fixated on the music of the ‘60s, but there’s considerably less striving to replicate a vintage sound on A Place for Nothing, and there’s a free and easy quality to these tunes that’s more spontaneous and less studied than his previous work. The guitars and keyboards in these arrangements sometimes nod to vintage folk~rock, but their touch is light and the focus here is firmly on the songs, and how the arrangements complement them. Bryant’s vocals are strong and confident, and his lyrics are smart and to the point, whether he’s ruminating on a romance gone bad (“I Don’t Love You Anymore”), pledging himself to a new love (“Right Here Waiting”), contemplating mortality (“The Grave”), or pondering inner space (“Velvet Kids,” which with its soaring slide guitar work is the closest thing here to what Bryant wrought on Subterranean). Kaage and Bryant’s production is full~bodied and atmospheric without seeming cluttered, and the accompanists keep the performances tight and expressive. A Place for Nothing and Everything in Its Place isn’t quite as audacious as Subterranean, but it’s every bit as strong as a set of fine songs played with heart and imagination, and suggests Tracy Bryant’s solo career could travel in any number of interesting directions after this.  ♣¤★     https://www.allmusic.com/
