Of the three, it's the first that consists exclusively of electric guitar duos and it's the first that was recorded live. To me it feels very much like a live record; this music happened in crowded rooms in Brooklyn on two dates in 2025 and there's an urgency to connect with others and a pleasure in doing so that can be heard on both of these tracks. On the first of our duo records (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eArborvitae\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 2003) I primarily play piano, and on the second (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvening Air\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 2024) we switch off on piano and guitar. Both of those albums bespeak the privacy of the recording studio, where time is suspended and one can explore the quietest of sounds. By contrast, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSomewhere in the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the noisiest, most raucous and most free of our duo records. It's the sound of us taking it to the stage. I became a fan of Loren's playing from the moment that I first heard it, after happening upon a beat-up copy of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn Pittsburgh\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e circa 1992 in a used bin in the Dr. Wax record store in Chicago where my then-bandmate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBundy K. Brown\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e worked. Everyone has taken a chance on a record because it looked interesting and wouldn't set you back too much. In that regard \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn Pittsburgh\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was the find of a lifetime. I had just switched from playing in a postpunk power trio (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBastro\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) to making mostly drummerless respect-your-neighbors music (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGastr del Sol\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), and Loren's pacing and touch and his lovely, unaffected compositions had me from the first listen. Not long after that, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJim O'Rourke\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and I reissued In Pittsburgh on our Dexter's Cigar label, and I fondly remember first meeting Loren in New York's Grand Central Station -- so glamorous for this country mouse -- and taking the train upstate with him where he shared a bill with Gastr del Sol. During soundcheck, Jim, Loren, and I played together for a bit and Loren's approach to the instrument was something that one could instantly sink into, the kind of situation where there are no mistakes. I still feel that when we play together.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackpot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48221410951386,"sku":null,"price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/5705\/3402\/files\/RM4273LP_PROD.jpg?v=1784076276","url":"https:\/\/jackpotrecords.com\/products\/david-grubbs-loren-connors-somewhere-in-the-wind-vinyl-lp-pre-order-out-8-28-26","provider":"Jackpot Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
