[LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTomberlin is Sarah Beth Tomberlin, a pastor’s kid born in Florida, raised in rural Illinois. She wrote the majority of her debut, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAt Weddings\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (2018), while living at home. For a while after leaving home and church, she lived in Louisville, Kentucky. She worked a day job and kept writing songs. She posted some of these songs to Bandcamp, which led to her signing a record deal with Saddle Creek. It all happened fast: Less than a year after her first live show, she performed on Jimmy Kimmel and she ended up moving to L.A. which is where she wrote \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eProjections\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (2020), her EP followup to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAt Weddings\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDuring the pandemic, Sarah Beth was all over the place, physically and mentally. Louisville. Los Angeles. Back home in Illinois for a bit. Brooklyn, where she’s now settled, she says. Brooklyn is also where her new album \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ei don’t know who needs to hear this…\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was recorded, at Figure 8 studios over the course of two weeks, with producer and engineer Phil Weinrobe (who played a variety of instruments on the collection), and later mastered by Josh Bonati, also in Brooklyn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“The theme of the record,” she explains, “is to examine, hold space, make an altar for the feelings.” Hold space: Tomberlin’s songs do it literally, making it heard space. Her full-length debut, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAt Weddings\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, was widely praised for the sparsity and delicacy of its instrumentation, especially in contrast with the emotional heft of her lyrics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere, the space feels larger and holier, built to echo. Pedal steel. Old acoustic guitars, freshly plucked. A drifting synthesizer. Chill, brushy percussion. Ambient, expansive clarinet and saxophone. Aleatory piano trills, a lot of piddling with the occasional splash. The looseness and wideness of the arrangements conveys a tender regard for their parts, as though each arpeggio, loop, scratch is a found shell or feather in the hand. Then there is the instrument of her voice, which has the endearing quality of being perfectly tuned but reluctantly played. “I’m not a singer,” she sings on “idkwntht.” “I’m just someone who’s guilty.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eeasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eborn again runner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ememory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eunsaid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esunstruck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecollect caller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estoned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehappy accident\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epossessed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eidkwntht\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"503","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50570118824232,"sku":"64840102771","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/4067258-3076002.jpg?v=1763988515","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/tomberlin-i-dont-know-who-blk-vinyl-lp-64840102771","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
