Keeping Company (Vinyl)
Vinyl LP pressing. Bill Laurance and Michael League, longtime friends and collaborators, have released their second duo album Keeping Company, which contrasts with the larger scale of Snarky Puppy. The album showcases an intimate musical partnership, with Laurance focusing on acoustic piano and League on fretless bass and oud, creating a rich, sparse sound that blends Western and Middle Eastern influences. Building on their successful debut, Where You Wish You Were, they emphasize deeper exploration and personality while prioritizing live recordings to capture organic spontaneity. Laurance's use of a lightly prepared piano adds texture, while League's self-taught approach to the oud introduces exotic timbres and expressive nuances. Their partnership thrives on experimentation, with Laurance's clear, compact melodies complementing League's unique ornaments. Keeping Company serves as a snapshot of their evolving friendship and artistic dialogue, highlighting spontaneity and shared humor in their music.

We will place your jacket and record inside a FREE protective poly with all shrink and hype stickers intact.
