SAPAT - L & N

What we have here is a brand new single from Louisville, Kentuckys long-running underground collective Sapat. “L&N” and “Payne Hollow Stomp” were recorded in 2005 at the same sessions that produced the groups 2007 Siltbreeze Records LP Mortise and Tenon, about which Dusted said: “While blowing all limp pretensions clean out of the water and across several state lines, this octet manages a multi-genre juxtaposition that never once sounds forced.” “L&N” is a slow-burning elegy on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad (1850-1982), a soundtrack for the contemplation of what we can and cant leave behind. “Payne Hollow Stomp” picks up speed and condenses the density of the A side, moving from the rails to an open road or better yet the rolling Ohio River on which sits Payne Hollow, the simple waterfront homestead of Harlan and Anna Hubbard (1900-1988; 1902-1986), two exemplary Ohio Valley post-Thoreau, pre-Back-to-the-Land simple-life seekers.The 7”, catalog number HANK010, is an edition of 300 45rpm records, packaged in clear polypropylene bags with double-side-printed kraft card insert. -Hank the Herald Angel.
