INDIE
EVER RECORDS and INERTIA are proud to announce the release of CORTNEY
TIDWELL's debut full-length album, 'Don't Let Stars Keep Us Tangled
Up'. Recorded at home and at Nashville's Beat Hollow studios,
co-produced by Cortney Tidwell & her husband Todd.
Guests
include members of LAMBCHOP: KURT WAGNER duets on "Society" and is
joined by founding member JONATHON MARX, whilst WILLIAM TYLER -
Lambchop's guitarist - contributes extensively. RYAN NORRIS of
Nashville's HANDS OFF CUBA performs on a number of tracks, as well
co-writing "I Do Not Notice" and "Illegal" with Cortney.
Cortney's
unusual and uncompromising approach has resulted in a music of
fascinating beauty: staggering, desolate, country infused laments
sprinkled with subtle flourishes of electronics; skeletal, eerie,
haunting structures that reach out far beyond their geographic roots.
Cortney's
voice is remarkable, an arresting and vulnerable instrument that
recalls the likes of PATSY CLINE, LESLIE FEIST, HOPE SANDOVAL aka MAZZY
STAR, BETH ORTON, BJORK or LIZ FRAZER in her COCTEAU TWIN era.
