Nathan Haines To Release New Album
Multi-instrumentalist and producer Nathan Haines is set to release his eighth studio album The Poet's Embrace on Monday 19 March in New Zealand.
The album is Nathan's first live analogue jazz record. This time there is no hiding place, just a straightforward quartet recorded live to tape in the time-honoured tradition with no over-dubs or mixing. Using vintage microphones and minimal processing, the music was captured by an Ampex 300 1/2 inch tape machine via the EMI-Neve desk at York Street Studios, Auckland over just two sessions in December 2011.
After 25 years in the game, which has seen Haines master an incredible number of genres including drum and bass, broken beat, house and jazz electronic, what emerges from the tunes on The Poet's Embrace is a sense of a musician who's gained his wings.
A limited edition LP will be released on Monday 19 March alongside the standard CD and digital versions.
Nathan Haines will also be embarking on The Poet's Embrace tour with a launch showcase at the Montecristo Room in Auckland on Friday 23 March, followed by a performance at Latitude Bar in Mount Maunganui on Saturday 24 March and an outdoor performance at the Band Rotunda in Auckland Domain on Sunday 25 March.
