Living Theatre

Last year, musical duo Shane Butler and Caity Shaffer, known as Olden Yolk, released their debut album. It's a captivating blend of hypnagogic folk and kosmiche rhythms, refining Butler's work from his former band Quilt. The songs on 'Living Theatre' were crafted during a tough transitional period, marked by personal tragedies and a move from NYC to LA. Musically, their songwriting is unified, relying on subtle melody and rhythm shifts instead of many chord changes. The hooks are gentle, like a babbling brook. Tracks like 'Castor & Pollux', 'Grand Palais', and 'Cotton & Cain' show a new direction, reaching emotional heights like The Go - Betweens or Yo La Tengo. Tunes like 'Violent Days' have a romantic feel. 'Living Theatre' shows the band emerging into a new phase of evolution.

To enjoy this album, simply play it on your preferred music - playing device. Whether you're relaxing at home, driving in your car, or working, it can set a great mood. There aren't any special instructions for listening, just let the music flow. As for maintenance, if you have a physical copy, keep it in a cool, dry place to prevent damage. If it's a digital copy, make sure to back it up regularly to avoid losing it. And most importantly, just sit back and let the unique sounds of Shane Butler and Caity Shaffer take you on a musical journey.
