{"product_id":"willie-lane-known-quantity-lp","title":"Willie Lane - Known Quantity LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Newly remastered reissue of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWillie Lane\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's 2009 solo guitar LP, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eKnown Quantity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, originally released on his own Cord Art label. Over the last few years, this album has been requested at the store more often than just about any other, but it sold out not long after it was issued and has risen in price consistently since that time. Listening to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eKnown Quantity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, it's not hard to understand why it has such a strong rep. Lane came out the Hampshire College scene that aligned itself with the Apostasy Records crowd (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKrefting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eShaw\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosenblum\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, etc.). His first known recordings were actually with some of the noisier experimental units associated with this cabal. Willie was based in Philadelphia for a long time after college, where he fell in with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJack Rose\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and the whole Fishtown scene of the early Oughts. Moving back to the Valley, Willie also began working with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatt Valentine\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's tribe, and his first solo album,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRecliner Ragas\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, was issued as a C.O.M. CDR in 2006 before getting vinylized by the Humito label in 2012. And keen listeners out there will detect a certain \"Spectrasound\" feel to some of the electric passages here. The music on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eKnown Quantity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a buttery mix of electric and acoustic string aktion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamara Lubelski\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e plays bass on one track, but it's all solo apart from that. And it's a wonderland of textures and sound shapes. Some of the pieces are almost straight ahead (somewhat more in tunes with the work Willie does when he plays live), but others are as wobbly and jagged as a drunk peacock. It's an amazing record, and rewards multiple listens with constantly unfolding details. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMax Milgram\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (from Watery Love) did the new cover art (based on the original LP's photographic frontispiece) and the mastering by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarl Saff\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is mighty nice. Enjoy...\" --\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eByron Coley\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 2018.
