As Maddy Wyatt—she of NYC’s WYATT—told us yesterday in regard to her and her bandmates/sibling’s record collections:
“All three of us have yet to build substantial vinyl collections, but we always play records when we go home. Alex has taken to recording them to CD. When we were touring the Southwest last summer, we drove through the sublime moonscape of western Arizona as Al’s recording of James Taylor’s self-titled debut played at sunset.
Scratches on the surface. Goddamn perfect.
Alex’s future collection will have a ton of jazz, mine will lean towards old (and young) Americana, and Paul’s will spring for the present/future. Our own vinyl cover art came straight off the wall of our house in Colorado.
It was on the wall in Illinois and Pennsylvania too. If it could talk, it would tell you how much music was (is) alive in that house. It’s our past in a picture, a picture moving forward. Take a look! Have a listen.”
…and she wasn’t kidding about offering a listen, as we’ve got the band’s brand new, self titled 10″ EP to award to one of you.
As Maddy confesses, her record collection is a work in progress. Which record would you suggest she add to it, in your opinion? The most insightful answer will find the record in his or her mailbox. We’ll choose one winner with a North American mailing address a week from today, 8/9!
