Synopsis

Album Description
Pinetop Seven began in 1996 as a loose collective of young Chicago musicians interested in re-working the notion of popular American music, co-opting elements from diverse musical traditions (tango, funeral dirges, 20th century classical, Eastern European, Asian gamelan) and blending them with American folk and country blues. Nine years, six albums, and 23 contributing members later (among them past or present members of Bright Eyes, Wilco, Boxhead Ensemble, and Rilo Kiley), the mission statement remains unchanged. Pinetop Seven continues to quietly assemble compelling collages of sounds and words, mini-epics of storytelling, and snapshots of an America that Norman Rockwell would never recognize. This is a collection of previously unreleased material, primarily taken from 2005's "The Night's Bloom" sessions. The collection also includes pieces recorded for the film "Numinmata", a cover of Tom T. Hall's "The Promise And The Dream", and a few miscellaneous tracks from the group's early years.
