Alexander

Alexander is the solo guitar project of David Shapiro, a native of New Haven, CT. After touring in 2016 and 2017 with improvised cassette releases about his living places, he released a full - length LP of fingerpicking tunes. The nine tracks of Alexander share a melancholy sweetness, reflecting the performer's wandering life and the people he met. Shapiro, following the 'American Primitive' guitar style, stands out with a precise and almost academic approach, skillfully handling tempo and harmony. Different from masters like Fahey and Basho, Alexander incorporates contemporary influences, expanding the fingerstyle range. Recorded on a self - built guitar, this is an earnest debut that shows the player's deep love for his instrument. Cover text by Cyd Goodwin. Recorded at Key Club Recording Company by Bill Skibbe. It's an 180 - gram vinyl pressed at Erika Records.

To enjoy this Alexander vinyl, simply place it on your turntable and let the music play. You'll love the unique fingerpicking tunes. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface. This will help keep the sound quality great for a long time.
