‘Can’t C#’ by JD Pinkus & Tall Tall Trees | New Album, ‘Ponder Machine’
Exclusive video premiere of ‘Can’t C#’ by JD Pinkus & Tall Tall Trees, taken from the latest album, ‘Ponder Machine,’ out today via Shimmy-Disc/Joyful Noise.
Today, Shimmy-Disc finally shares their anticipated new release, the heady new concoction from banjo virtuosos JD Pinkus (Butthole Surfers) & Tall Tall Trees (Mike Savino) entitled ‘Ponder Machine’. The new LP (Produced by KRAMER) — which contains the spirit of high mountain bluegrass, laden with profound and somewhat sinister depth — is introduced with the following: Take a Deep Dive into their secluded mountain stream, but beware the rapids and hang tight to your tube! That heretic howl is not in your imagination, and yes, the ancient trees may shift slightly as you rocket past, just enough to offer a glowing glimpse into the strange new world illuminated by a pair of passionate, psychedelic banjo masters.
If a trembling string fails to find its traditional fret, the network of fungi beneath your feet may be alerted by the wanton sounds of SpaceGrass (or is it “SlowGrass”?) shifting magnetically in the cosmic blue-lit forest. Watch out for boiling soils beneath your feet. Hold tight in that brainy space between your ears – better just lay back and enjoy the long slow slide.
Preceding the record’s arrival today, the duo shared two singles, ‘Fungal Mountain Breakdown’ and ‘Afterlifer’. Today, they share the record’s final single and focus track, ‘Can’t C#,’ and its accompanying music video.
“A tragic ballad with a happy ending… just kiddin’… it’s three different stories with a common outcome and it’s not played in ‘Can’t C#’ a listen and feel free to sing along with the whales and songbirds.” – JD Pinkus
