Description
We all want life to be beautiful. And it usually is, whatever direction we choose to look. But never before has there been a Smog LP quite this beautiful. Lush instrumentation threads through the material, and the ability to fictionalize places our hero in deeper emotional water. An instant classic!
Album Notes:
Bill Callahan (born June 3, 1966), is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist, who has also recorded and performed under the band name Smog. Callahan began working in the lo-fi genre of underground rock, with home-made tape-albums recorded on four track tape recorders. Later he began releasing albums with the label Drag City, to which he remains signed today.
Red Apple Falls is Smog’s sixth album, released in May 1997 on Drag City and re-released in Europe in 2001 by Domino. It was recorded by Jim O’Rourke and Bill Callahan, with assistance from Phil Bonnet. It is the first of two Smog records produced by O’Rourke, and Callahan’s third team-up with O’Rourke. He also played bass, piano, hammond, hurdy gurdy and drums.
“Ex-Con” was released as a single. An early version of “Red Apples” was first featured on Callahan’s first EP Floating in 1991, and was later covered by Chan Marshall for her album The Covers Record. “I Was a Stranger” was redone by Callahan for the 2000 EP ‘Neath the Puke Tree. Additionally, as a collaboration project, the two German labels Schinderwies Productions and keplar released a split single subtitled A Tribute to Smog in 2003, with Tripophon & Mawe covering “I Was a Stranger” and Radio Magenta covering “Ex-Con”.
