Introducing Spencer Cullum's Coin Collection
posted September 25, 2020 #
Over at yk Records, we announced the debut album from Spencer Cullum, appropriately entitled Spencer Cullum's Coin Collection. The video embedded above serves as a nice introduction to the project.
For those that do not know, Spencer Cullum is a pedal steel player - most known for his work in the duo Steelism. He's also part of Miranda Lambert's backing band (seriously) and has guested on a ton of records. He's from London but has made Nashville his home for the past decade or so.
The record is a far cry from Steelism (and Miranda Lambert), in that it was inspired by `60s and `70s psych-folk records like Kevin Ayers or Fairport Convention. It's also got a touch of Fripp and Eno, Soft Machine and a dash of krautrock. If all that sounds absolutely foreign to you, don't worry - you can still enjoy it.
The album features a ton of guests - hence the "Coin Collection" - such as Caitlin Rose, Skyway Man, Erin Rae, Herman Dune and a long long list. The first single will be coming out very soon but just wanted to drop a note here to keep you aware. This is not a record you wanna miss.
