Thanks.
Join us at the vortex for the opening of Jeb’s new woodcut exhibition and a preview of songs from the new album, “Strange Faith and Practise”
We are pleased to announce that the new Jeb Loy Nichols LP - Strange Faith and Practice is set to be released on Impossible Ark. When he’s not wearing one of his other hats, be it Artist, Author or musician, Jeb is writing and singing great songs. Although most frequently associated with country music and his own particular brand of blue eyed soul his knowledge and love of different musical styles runs deep and we think his latest record sounds right at home here. You can read more about the man, his music books and art at www.jebloynichols.co.uk
We’ll be posting with more news about the Album soon. In the meantime here’s a preview of The day that never came
On release in Japan only in early 2009 is the first ever compilation of Impossible Ark material. An updated version of this compilation will be presented for domestic and worldwide release later in the year. The compilation features a whole host of music from sessions recorded last year alongside some tracks from previous releases by The Rhythmagic Orchestra and Examples of Twelves. To give you a taste of whats in store here is a version of Mingus’s “Haitian Fight Song” as you’ve never heard it before performed by The Fiction Trio.
Also arriving this year is a minimal record featuring the guitar and trumpet duo of Sigurta & Casagrande. The first Impossible ark release without a drummer, this doesn’t arrive with the big fanfare of our previous releases, but these are two fantastic musicians and this record is a real grower. For a taste of the psychedelic web these two weave here is a track called “Eyes” More news and release date soon.
