tall shadows

Our two Tall Shadows hovered above us two. We Jaik Llachlan and we Marcus Damon Hunt.  We crawled out from the ditches of parahonkeygould, AR…. By our strengths enduring the wailing sound of crunch and crispy clean waves everly…  in 2020 in mayish we two started swapping tracks via the internet…  We use the recording canvas for splashing base here and keys there, we riddle some tunes with guitar…  Keys and Drums tons of fun… This music is saving my sick ass every day… I love kicking my speakers for making Tall Shadows music… 
Last year we recorded the first TS recordTall Shadows  https://youtu.be/QHqe7gQ6yqs
 Soon after Tall Shadows ~ Heavy Blue came together to sound a deep call stirring up heavy cool vibes. I guess…  Harsh, Raw, Calm, and Collected.  I like to say our music is abstract er um rock… we’re genre lost.  So… Take all the priceless music you can find in our facebook.com/UglyEverly page… There are a couple of Google Drive Folders listed on the Ugly Everly Facebook page containing Tall Shadows and Ugly Everly Music mp3s in the posted links…  What we want is for the radio waves to carry our records over the so scientifically cool radio waves. Would be satisfied with consistent playing and radioactive listeners…  I’ve wished writers would analyze a couple of our records and write to me their spill, their feelings, notes, critiques while they endure the sound of Tall Shadows Music. Likers er fans of Tall Shadows and Ugly Everly are listed under  my label for fain  Art of the Archangel. 
Tall Shadows tower above us two, pulling sloppily our bodies all in skeletal fluid motion as the strings bellow lowly behind our fingertips.  The voice accents the lyrically driven songs voicing the lyrical out through the mouth with fain pleasure vocals stream out and intrigue the ears of the open minded, keenly, and with great thought, the lyricals drone on, accented with tiny bits of feeling to make each of the lyrical songs each artistically produced memorabilia to download and enjoy listening to, always.  Take everything you can find in our links for free… Download and generate Tall Shadows playlists…Listen with fun loudlyness in say your car or loud stereo…  TALL SHADOWS HEAVY BLUE has some special songs that ride with you well in a car…Sincerely, from the artists, in RUST we mean you no harm…  So please sit down and play an underground record more than once for once… Play Tall Shadows indefinitely once you give the record several rounds of play you begin to learn the musical  changes and the lyricals will become more apparent  to your ears, then you may learn to love Tall Shadows enough to copy and share the record to anyone out there you that you wish…  I like the lyrically vocalizing sounds of the words to be left subjective to each individual listener. So, truly, I need you in my cadra to deliver Tall Shadows to your really cool people you all know and would love with new Tall Shadows Music.    Enough…  If you’d like to communicate your most finely articulated response concerning your experience listening to Tall Shadows… Listeners state that it sounds peaceful…  Im betting on a 3rd Tall Shadows recording…  Visit facebook.com/UglyEverly and join or like the page or whatever and we’ll tell you when new records are done…   This is my last resend, all I have, I have for rent.  If you’d like to contact us personally concerning anything you wish to communicate to Tall Shadows about, then we’d be blessed by the graces of the words from your very mind channeled through your fingers and over to me giving me insight into our listeners and hoping we make friends with fans…   Email jaikllachlan@gmail.com for fun.

The Gillies music

The Gillies are an Americana, Folk singer/songwriter duo from SE London.

Divide and Conquer explains “The two combine their bare bones guitar work to paint these sprawling landscapes of emotion, experience and nostalgia” ……… “The stories they tell are raw, no editing, no glorifying, just everything that memory can provide”
Masonry Nails, their third album has eleven orginal songs produced by award winning Phil Dearing and recorded at LSound London.As there was no gigs in 2020 to promote their new album , they did  The Eleven a virtual One Take Tour on Youtube. This Album takes on a different feel to their other acoustic albums, having a full band sound on some of the tracks. Mark adding Dobro and Lap steel and slidy things Susan piano on Dirt Rain, Zac Turner from the MSBand playing piano and co writing on some songs. Mr Dearing adding his touches of Hammond and electric guitar. 
The album hangs on the ideas of masonry nails, whats left behind when things fall apart and what holds them together. Always the idea of a journey, slipping back to long time friendships in their home town and the need to escape from something wherever they are.
For their new album they decided to design and make up their cd covers from eco craft card getting them printed at a local printers, trying to use as little plastic as possible. The design based on an original 1960s masonry nails box.   Since the release of No Hiding Place in 2018/9 they have played and supported artists like Gordon Giltrap, Jill Jackson, Billy Kemp (Nashville) Matt Woods and the Natural Disasters(America)Played various radio stations from West Norfolk Radio to Radio stations in Kent and Resonance Radio London.

Michael alder

My name is Mike Alder. I am originally from Kansas City, Missouri.Growing up in the 80’s I loved music from as far back as can be remembered. Always a fan of guitars it was evident I would eventually pick one up. After being in a couple of rap bands in the early 2000’s I started playing to create music even without producers. This opened up a lot of different music to my open mind. I fell in love with music by Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, and some not so old artists like Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Sublime, Foo Fighters, The Roots, and Outkast. Born in the late 70’s I feel like I lived through an incredible era for music and wouldn’t trade it for the world. I moved to Portland Oregon in 2005 for work and fell in love with the Pacific Northwest. I stopped making music shortly after moving here. I started focusing on photography and videography. I starting writing Poetry about Portland and a violinist friend of mine told me I needed to make original music again. I started putting my Portland poetry to music and saw that people were enjoying it. I will continue to write and try to bring joy to people through music.The song “When We Roll By” is the second installment from my Portland Poem series. Stay tuned for the third installment song and video.
