hinahgift002 - Norfolk & Western / Adam Selzer / Peace Harbor

"hinah session"

"These songs were recorded on the first evening 3 out of the 4 of us ever set foot on the other side of the Atlantic. Éloïse et Laurent were kind enough to invite us to their home for our first tastes of un-pasteurized butter and cheese and meats. The food seemed to never end- we devoured it until we could no longer eat, talk or walk. It was then that the tape started rolling and we performed these songs... tired from an all-day plane ride but high on the excitement of being in Europe about to begin our tour with Sparklehorse. I cannot express our thanks to Eloïse et Laurent enough- who also managed to see us in London toward the end of our tour at our only show without Sparklehorse which was a complete disaster. Never did I think we were capable of inciting fights before. It was there that Eloïse showed us the shaker she bought- a "studio improvement" she said, over the beans in a jar that we used for percussion (I think that's what it was....). Thanks again to hinah, and thank you for listening and reading......."

hinah029 - Templo Diez

"Crowheart"

We discovered Templo Diez thanks to an exchange of records with the French label Intercontinental Records, which had released the band's debut album "Hoboken". Three years later, while hinah was on a sabbatical year, Pascal Hallibert sent us the new cd of Templo Diez, "Winterset", on which we especially loved the beautiful song "Sal". We suggested we could put out an EP if they felt like going for more acoustic tracks and putting the voice of Gloribel Hernandez (who was also singing on "Sal") more upfront. And they agreed!

hinahgift026 - Fulton Lights

"hinah session"

We discovered Andrew Goldman's music a few years ago, at the time of his folk, melodic project Maestro Echoplex. After playing for a while under the name John Guilt, Andrew started a new project named Fulton Lights, which has just released its second album "The Way We Ride" and its heavier and more distorted atmospheres and tempos. As Andrew was on solo tour in Europe, we invited him over for a session that was meant to be electric but ended up being acoustic after the amp of our friend Éric decided to break down at the last minute. So here is a chance to discover Fulton Lights in its most stripped-down version!

hinahgift025 - Flowers From The Man Who Shot Your Cousin

"hinah session"

Those who visit our website regularly are bound to have come across the name "Flowers From The Man Who Shot Your Cousin" once in a while in the news section. Indeed, we have been following closely Morgan Caris’s project in the last five years and we would very much like to release something with his name on it... But Morgan is a perfectionist and this something is yet to come. Therefore a hinah session had clearly become necessary and the opportunity of an acoustic evening with Shelley Short and Brittain Ashford to inaugurate our Parisian hinah hq was just the perfect excuse!

hinahgift024 - Matt Bauer

"hinah session"

This is not the first treat we get from Matt Bauer: a few years ago, he had already contributed to our "Tribute To The Anthology Of American Folk Music by Harry Smith" with an edited cover of "Willie Moore". Shortly afterwards, he had sent us his big EP "Wasps And White Roses", a beautiful folk piece on which the banjo blends with Matt's suave voice. In addition, Matt was surrounded with nice people, as Jolie Holland and Mariee Sioux joined him for this EP! So as Matt was touring Europe as part of Alela Diane's backing band in the spring, we invited him to make a detour via Frankfurt for a live hinah session.
