VILLAGE OF SPACES "WELCOME IN"
"The spirit of a thousand private press jewels is present in every note; imagine if Tony Caro & John had enlisted Kendra Smith to sing lead."

"Intimate but inviting, Welcome In's airy charms belie the masterful songcraft beneath every surface."

"'Wheels' will conclude every mix CD I make this year. Maybe next year, too."

http://www.nelsonvillefest.org/

Hey All.....The parental life has sent us into the underground caverns of discovery and total wildness.....so there has been less performance action.  And several times we've spent more time readying for the one off performances than updating our blog. So be it.  We are still here and working on musics, working hard and living the good life.
Forthcoming:  Live solo concerts in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Tucson, Arizona,  Asheville, North Carolina, and Providence Rhode Island.  Stay tuned.
Also in the pipeline:
A Village of Spaces Cassette release with Slooow tapes!!!! and a full length Village of Spaces LP following that when spring is in the wings..............

Alchemy and Trust on BandCamp

Hey Out There, There is finally a place where one can buy a digital download of our last album "Alchemy and Trust." We started a BandCamp page. You can listen for FREE, and if you choose to buy, ALL of the money will go to us, the band (minus a percentage that BandCAmp gets.)
We'll use the money to help fund our forthcoming LP, which will be done one day in the nearing feature. Eventually we will make it so that ALL of our albums are available this way. Thanks for the support and enjoy!

VOS SUNDAY MARCH 31, 2013

Village Of Spaces+Arborea +Ora Cogan at the OAK AND THE AXE 140 Main St Suite 107, Biddeford, ME 04005.

The snow has nearly all melted into a potion of mud and sensual budding along the coast.  Spring feels a tad far off, but almost a lifetime away from the frozen depths of a coupla months ago.
Come out and see this show and say hey after the long seclusion/inversion.  Might be the last Village of Spaces live concert for quite some Tiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.  Looks like we'll be a 2 piece. 
Will trade LPs/Cds/Cassettes for your Maple Sap! 

Following up summers bounty and travels to North Carolina in Late August with a Village of Spaces performance deep in off grid sloping thickets at the End Of the Worlds Fair...and a west coast jaunt with hot springs and family...... fall and winters cusp show us taking a break from live performances for the most part......and focusing on our new album and family home dynamics......
Winterizing, working "day jobs," and recon-veining the "band" identity after a couple months break...... 
This time in trio triangle form and modality......the group by in large consisting of Amy Moon,  Dan B and Bob New.   The trinity fires are lit......the hearths are banked.  A batch of demos have been cooked up.  Now we'll focus on tracking the actual album to 8 track 1/2" tape.  Hoping this endeavor will surface by the spring of 2013. 
Get in touch if you wanna help.....
A couple cassettes will rise up outta the snowbanks in mid winter as well.....so stay tuned and keep in touch.

VILLAGE OF SPACES CORNERS
"Morning Nap" c46 (Turned Word)

Wow, this is a really lovely tape. For those who aren't in the know, Village of Spaces (currently residing in and around Belfast, ME) is the new moniker for Dan Beckman and Amy Moon's longstanding group that began as Dan's solo project, Uke Of Phillips, morphed into Uke Of Spaces Corners County, which released two LPs on Corleone (check their website: they didn't quite get the baffling syntax right!) and is now onto a more collaborative band sound with members Asa Irons (Feathers), Clare Hubbard (Caethua, Sports, Ancestral Diet), Andy Neubauer (Ancestral Diet, Impractical Cockpit), Big Blood and Michael Hurley (!). This tape is a collection of "demo" versions of the tunes that appear on the newly released Village of Spaces "Alchemy and Trust" LP (which is a co-release between Turned Word, Corleone and a few other labels). I believe they were both recorded by Nemo from Time-Lag Records.

These versions are just as strong as the ones found on the record, and I actually find myself listening to this one more, though I suppose that's because I don't have a record player in my car. It's got an over all rawer sound and there are times when you can hear Dan and Amy's kid crying, but I count both of those things as assets. The songs are vaguely psychedelic (read: echoy with cryptic lyrics), but they also fit nicely into a number of American and English folk traditions. The first cut, "Alchemy & Trust" is so jaw-dropping that I would call it nothing short of a masterpiece. The rest of the album flows nicely from there, with all of the tunes creating wonderful mind-pictures of the beautiful, but sometimes challenging, Maine landscape.

I really haven't found a tape that has been this exciting to me since Chris Weisman's outstanding "Fresh Sip" from last year. Dan covers most of the lead vocals here and his vocals have that amazing nasal/otherworldly quality of Ed Askew's work, but his lyrics are a touch more grounded in reality than on that classic ESP folk disk. But now that I mention it, you should also check out the new Ed Askew LP reissue "Imperfection" on Galactic Zoo Disk/Drag City. Those songs are more autobiographical then any of his two previously released albums, & it's so wonderful!! Only 500 copies, so get it while the getting is good. But hey, we are talking about Village of Spaces here. This thing is only an edition of 100 copies, so snap it up before it's gone.

Peace
