Description:

Double vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. Simon Joyner is among America's best songwriters, so says Gillian Welch, Conor Oberst, Kevin Morby, and others. With Step Into The Earthquake, he strikes for the personal while acknowledging that the times they are a-changin' around us again. Things are leaning shitty right now, and the characters in Joyner's songs experience the dissolution of comfort amid anxious concerns regarding our turbulent times. To record, Joyner's band, The Ghosts, holed up with longtime collaborator, Michael Krassner (Boxhead Ensemble), in Omaha's ARC Studio, developing songs from skeletal foundations to full-on group efforts. Joyner's vision may be dark but it stops short of nihilism. This expansive album offers a poet's truthful view, however disconcerting, that to survive whatever is coming for us, we have to confront and understand it first. So, go ahead and step into the earthquake.

Tip-on gatefold sleeve Recorded in February 2017 at ARC Studios Strongs recorded in March 2017 at Hand Branch Studio The tornado-prepared piano introduction to "I Dreamed I Saw Lou Reed Last Night" was field recorded and played on the immovable drenched family heirloom after the tornado of May 9th, 2016 took the Joyner barn in Nehawka, Nebraska.
