Janet Macpherson/Kyle Kirkpatrick/Kurt Newman - There Stands the Glass

"Lacanian psychoanalysts think of addiction as a disease of capitalism," guitarist Kurt Newman said by way of introduction to the latter song here, giving a hint of how the night's banner crept into the material in ways slightly deeper than jokes about the People's Key. ("They're not wrong," someone in the audience tossed back.) Enlisting Mermaids' Janet Macpherson on vox as well as Kyle Kirkpatrick on dobro, the trio essayed a number of country and old-timey classics amongst the banter about Bloch and Adorno.

[Kurt Newman will be bringing some sounds to Ayal Senior's monthly residency in the Southern Cross Lounge this Sunday (April 14th), and he will also be opening things up for Invocation's presentation of Appalachian folk songstress Sarah Louise at Array Space on Friday, May 24th.]
