Six years ago Stark Folk evolved from a two-man recording project to Stark Folk Band, a live four-piece unit & this set of recordings represents the full fruits of this half-decade collaboration.
• Titled: When Odysseus Wept...a nod to the classic Greek epic and coincidentally(?) an apt metaphor for the making of this album: a grand labor-of-love, a struggle, a joy, an expansion of our consciousness!
• Composed as an album in the traditional sense. A ten song musical journey.
• Recorded on modest equipment, in domestic spaces, without the financial support /or dictates of any corporate overlords.
• 300 vinyl records, in colorful gate-fold jackets, designed by the band (see mock-up at the top of this page).
• Total cost: about $3500. Includes the cost of mastering (professional preparation of the songs), manufacturing, and color printing.
• We currently do not have the support of a record label and are thus financing this ourselves, so contributions made now, in the form of pre-orders, will wonderfully assist us by providing upfront cash to put towards down-payments , etc.
• Completion date: November 2018
• ALL contributors will get thanked in the album liner notes.
• ALL contributors, at any level, will immediately receive a link to digital versions of our previous two albums. Stark Folk-Self-titled(2008) & Stark Folk Band-Well Oiled(2010)
• Those who pre-order the new vinyl record (at $25) will receive (in August) their choice of a vinyl copy of Well Oiled (2010) or our 7" single Modern Times (2014) or hard-to-find CD of For Seasons (2003) by pre-Stark Folk project A Landscape Yesterday.
• The top perk includes an ULTRA-RARE copy of the first Stark Folk record (2008). This was originally a pressing of 100, 25 of which were lost by American Airlines, thus only 75 exist. Of those, we only have a few left in our possession, so it really is a rare piece of our history.
• ALL contributors will be entered into a drawing to win a copy of the above mentioned Stark Folk album & collector test pressings of Well Oiled and Odysseus Wept!
