Hop Along – Painted Shut (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Frances Quinlan's voice, all controlled chaos and emotional precision, found its ideal setting when Hop Along recorded Painted Shut at Headroom Studios in Philadelphia with producer John Agnello, whose work with Dinosaur Jr. and Kurt Vile made him a natural fit for the band's abrasive yet melodic approach. The Philadelphia indie scene had been buzzing about Hop Along for years before the wider world caught up, and this record was the moment that conversation went national.
Hop Along has had multiple lives. First conceptualized as a freak-folk solo act by Frances Quinlan, it progressed towards a fuller sound with the addition of Mark Quinlan on drums, Tyler Long on bass and Joe Reinhart (Algernon Cadwallader, Dogs on Acid) on guitar. Emerging as one of music’s most unique songwriters, the captivating vignettes Frances has weaved tell vivid stories of desperation and weary awakening. Her powerful voice is a spellbinding entity all it’s own, celebratory and raw, and one that can’t be shaken away. Their new album, Painted Shut, is their 2nd full-length and first for Saddle Creek (preceded by the self-released Get Disowned in 2012). However, this release marks their first time creating as a full-formed entity, arranging everything as a group.
