Vieilles Caniques / Nouvelles Caniques [Vinyl] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Double 12” vinyl (green / white). Stanley Brinks (aka André Herman Düne) is joined once again by the Norwegian folk collective The Kaniks, this time stripped back to a two piece of fiddle and banjo. Eschewing a traditional recording studio, Brinks took The Kaniks to a remote island outside the small town of Egersund in south west Norway. Over the course of week of midnight sun on their isolated rocky island, living and recording in the only building on the island, the Vibberodden lighthouse, they recorded this double album of modern day folk tales of love, loss and mischief. Brinks is renowned for his unique antifolk style: both playful and suggestive, insightful and entertaining. His mastery of storytelling, presented in both English and in French on these albums, introduces you to the free spirited world of Brinks’ life as a touring musician. His fondness for calypso and the unusual provide the perfect foil to The Kaniks’, whose folk instrumentation and country and bluegrass influences take this double album to a joyous place Brinks hasn’t been before in his extensive back catalogue. A1) Ten In The Morning A2) For You A3) L’Hay-Les-Roses A4) Whole Other World A5) Casse Dechire A6) All I Need A7) Man Is A Wonder B1) Jeanne-Marie B2) Monique B3) Julie B4) Hard-Hearted Woman B5) Up and Down B6) River Boat B7) Vieille Canique C1) Your Brown Eyes C2) Right Down My Alley C3) Au Luxem- bourg C4) This Place Is Great C5) Please Don’t Take My Love Away C6) You Broke My Heart D1) If You Don’t Love Me D2) Spider In Sight D3) En Rhenanie Palatine D4) Jools D5) You and Your Violin D6) When Will I See You Again
