Spiral's "work of art" greets Record Store Day - April 17, 2010
Allison Crowe's newest album, "Spiral",
gets physical, physical, this month - with its CD release on April 17.
The album was released digitally on March 17, St. Patrick's Day.
There was an abundance of gold, silver and bronze in February, when
Canada hosted the Olympics. Since then, printers have been sourcing a
supply of the special metallic dyes needed for the album cover art of
"Spiral".
This process happily enables Crowe's newest CD release to coincide
with international
Record
Store Day. "Spiral" is now available at Fascinating
Rhythm, in Nanaimo, B.C. - one of the five favourite record stores
'cross Canada for Stuart McLean, raconteur extraordinaire, host of CBC
Radio's "The Vinyl Cafe." "Spiral" will soon be in
Lobelia's Lair in Nanaimo, Lyle's Place in Victoria, Zulu Records in
Vancouver, BC, and, on Canada's Atlantic coast, fred's records on
Duckworth Street in St. John's, Newfoundland - and, in Corner Brook,
Sharpe Music and Distinctions salon.
" 'Spiral' is a true work of art," writes Jeff Taylor,
video-game programmer and multi-blogger from Canada. "The album is
amazing, and will certainly be a top contender for album of the year."
"Spiral" is the seventh album/CD release from Allison Crowe.
"This is an astonishingly gifted artist working in a class by
herself," says Tom Mureika, writer for All Music Guide and
other North American-based culture sites. ParisVoice, English
language journal for folks who call home the city of Piaf and Charles
Aznavour, says: "expressing emotion is where Allison Crowe excels.
Whether covering other artists... or performing her own songs... each
track becomes alive and palpable."
On April 17th, Spiral greets Record Store Day. That
same day Allison Crowe flies to Europe to launch a series of concerts
in Aachen, Paris, Frankfurt and Berlin.
