Tinker Bell’s Cough (Vinyl) - By: F.g.s. - Model Number: SR020

Description

Co-created with musician and producer Chase Ceglie, Tinker Bell™s Cough is a surreal Americana record that filters the language of girlhood, heartbreak, and fantasy through a warped, theatrical lens. It™s Lana Del Rey meets David Berman in a cartoon whirlwind, with traces of Dolly Parton, Arthur Russell, and David Lynch.

Silva describes the record as fairy tale theatre. It™s packed with alt-universe country hits (˜Beth™s Deth™, ˜American Shield™), uncanny ballads (˜I™m Growing A Cross Around My Neck™), and leftfield pop songs rooted in character and place. ˜Passions™, the opening track, was inspired by Mary MacLane™s ˜I Await the Devil™s Coming™, while the title track imagines Tinker Bell herself singing a lullaby to God.

˜The Punisher™ is an anthemic road song about loneliness and transcendence. It™s about driving north on I-5 in California, worrying my car will overheat, bargaining with God, and falling in love with dust tornados, Silva says.

Raised in the woods of upstate New York and formerly one half of the cult duo Odwalla88, Silva brings a visual artist™s sensibility to music. She studied art in Baltimore and continues to make sculpture and performance work that informs her songwriting. ˜Tinker Bell™s Cough™ was written on the Rhode Island coast, where she and Ceglie met weekly to write and record”drawing from old texts, visual references, and poetry.

In addition to the original 8-track LP, this special edition vinyl features an exclusive live version of Passions, recorded at Tinker Bell™s Clubhouse.
