180-gram vinyl

Mixed by Marc Urselli at East Side Sound, New York, NY

Lindsey Buck is a bad ass. We first met almost 9 years ago. Having just moved back to the States from France with my 1 yr old baby and a burgeoning record label, I took a job teaching piano at a music school on the South Shore. I remember Lindsey wrote on her intake form, "I don't want piano lessons like the ones I had when I was a kid!" and I thought something like: "Well, that's my specialty ..."

I found out pretty quickly that Lindsey was returning to music to honor her mother who was terminally ill. Her mom had always dabbled on the piano and encouraged Lindsey to do the same, but it had never stuck.

Lindsey started writing music right away. It felt like every week she'd have two or three new songs. It was a torrent. And the songs were good. Like, really, really good. Emotionally direct, powerful, clear, melodic, and soulful as hell. And she could sing! Like, really, really, REALLY sing.

So I thought "let's go make a demo" and next thing I knew she had a band together and was playing local radio and bars. So I said, well, maybe we should try and make an album ... And that took seven years. (Parenting! Pandemic! Life!) But holy smokes am I proud to be a part of this record! Lindsey is the real deal. Generous, brilliant and totally unique. I have learned so
much from her.
