chrisb 15th Jul 2019		Info about this event later this evening: Sofia Bolt release show for debut record 'Waves' with special guests Van Dyke Parks and Dustrider. Van Dyke Parks will be accompanied by Grant Geissman on guitar and Carl Sealove on bass. --- Sofia Bolt Sofia Bolt is the recording project of French-born guitarist and songwriter Amelie Rousseaux. In early 2017, pent up in Paris and searching for transformation, Rousseaux moved to Los Angeles. This shock to the system brought a creative blossom, and now she brings us the sweeping, beautiful, honest, and direct debut album Waves, out on June 28 2019 via Loantaka Records. Recorded live in a whirlwind five days by a cast of LA all-stars, Waves is at once casual and tightly constructed, with Rousseaux’s pop melodies leaping and diving over a bed of guitars and roomy drums. The dream team consisted of Van Dyke Parks, Emily Elhaj (Angel Olsen), Marian Lipino (La Luz), Bryant Fox (Miya Folick), and Itai Shapira (Rhye). Van Dyke Parks Born in Mississippi in 1943, Parks was extraordinary even as a child, a musical prodigy and actor who later became a session musician, composer, producer, arranger, lyricist, and singer. His own music is as cinematic, fantastical and even phantasmagorical as it is from the heart. Song Cycle was less conventionally pop, in verse-chorus fashion, than Smile; the mood was something like a baroque psychedelic dream filtered through Disney and music hall. Discover America was a major departure, with most songs written by pre-war Calypso musicians from Trinidad & Tobago but given Parks’ highly individual spin. Clang Of The Yankee Reaper further wove New Orleans, classical and pop strains alongside Calypso and Caribbean rhythms. There have been more albums since, plus film scores, children’s books and arrangements for a dizzying array of talent (including Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt and Rufus Wainwright), but the jewels in Parks’ legacy remain those first three albums, slices of musical history both of their time and truly timeless. Dustrider Dustrider is the recording project of Oliver Hill, a songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, film composer, and string arranger based in Los Angeles. He has written arrangements for artists such as Dirty Projectors, Helado Negro, Kevin Morby, Wet, and Vagabon, along with touring regularly as a violist, pianist, and guitarist. He was the primary songwriter of Pavo Pavo, whose 2019 record Mystery Hour was described as “a quietly poetic record that explores the stuff of life, love, and loss with a clear head” (Pitchfork). His debut solo record, Dustrider, will be released in 2020.
