mp3: Take a ‘Basket Ride’ with Cotton Jones
Michael Nau, previously well known as the primary singer/songwriter for Page France, will be pushing back the release of his debut full-length as The Cotton Jones Basket Ride in favor of an EP series to be released through Quite Scientific records. The album, Paranoid Cocoon, had initially been slated for a spring release but will now be replaced instead by two more limited edition art book EPs.
How very Joseph Arthur, right?
The initial offering, a limited release this past fall, sold out in less than two weeks. A second EP, The Archery, will be available on May 13th. Beware, though, as it’s only a run of 500 copies. The third yet-to-be-titled EP will double that run, each bound with exclusive artwork.
Tracklisting:
01 Chewing Gum
02 Silver Piano Man
03 Blues from a Nest
04 Lords of Columbia St.
05 Midnight Monday & a Telescope
06 I Don’t Suppose
Have a listen to “Midnight Monday & Telescope” off of Archery, a seemingly more reflective sound than his Page France releases.
