Another Glory - Another Glory [Vinyl] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

José Medeles and Nathan Trueb’s Another Glory may be a new project, but the duo bring decades of experience to their first album as a unit. Medeles, who has played drums with The Breeders, Ben Harper, Modest Mouse, and more, handles the group’s percussion, and Trueb, who plays with Tango Alpha Tango, sings and plays guitar. The debut, Another Glory, is a stripped down affair, a conversation between two musical virtuosos with the help of guest contributors like Nels Cline, Ben Harper, and producer Steve Berlin. It’s a nimble, efficient crew, but this description does little to animate just how dynamic, breathtaking, and original this collection of songs truly is. The collaboration began as organically as possible, with these two Portland-based musicians linking up for a jam session after Medeles recorded him playing along to Trueb’s solo music. The chemistry was electric, and the duo decided to see where their collective imagination could take them. The result is Another Glory, a deeply realized meditation on the history of folk music, but one that looks in numerous directions to illuminate each musician’s one-of-a-kind style.
