Description
Featuring a world-class lineup that includes Jeffrey Foucault, Billy Conway (Morphine) on drums, Jeremy Moses Curtis (Booker T) on bass, David Goodrich (Chris Smither) on electric guitars, Alex Mccollough on pedal steel, and Hayward Williams on backing vocals, keyboards, and electric guitars, COLD SATELLITE weave together strands of primitive rock, blues, R&B, and country in a modern refiguring of the nexus of poetry and song. In May of 2013, Cold Satellite - the six piece band centered on the collaboration between critically acclaimed songwriter Jeffrey Foucault and award-winning poet Lisa Olstein - will release Cavalcade, a sophomore album that both refines and concentrates the band's signature amalgam of rock, blues, and country. Described by legendary music critic Greil Marcus as having, "...a country feel that puts the people who live in the Nashville charts to shame... a deep ditch electric guitar that takes a country song into the blues, and lets it go back where it came from," Cold Satellite pairs Olstein's visceral and often imagistic language with the rawboned authority of a rock band to create a stripped down ethos hearkening back to records by Crazy Horse and the Faces, Led Zeppelin and CCR. Rising stars in their respective fields and longtime friends, Jeffrey Foucault and Lisa Olstein began their collaboration at a distance. In the winter of 2007, when he was between albums and she was between books, Olstein handed Foucault a folder of unpublished poems and fragments. Guitar in hand and with a field recorder on the table, he approached each piece cold, creating songs by elision and arrangement and leaving the listener to unify the intentions of the two artists in a single experience. The result is an expansion of the notion of authorship, and an experiment in the invention of meaning. It's also rock n' roll.
