ARTIST / BAND: BILL CALLAHAN
SONG (MP3): SYCAMORE
ALBUM: Woke on a Whaleheart
FILE UNDER: Progressive
LABEL: http://www.dragcity.com/
INFO: Callahan started out as a highly experimental artist, using substandard instruments and recording equipment. His early songs often nearly lacked melodic structure and were clumsily played on poorly tuned guitars (possibly influenced by Jandek, whom Callahan admires), resulting in the dissonant sounds on his self-released cassettes and debut album Sewn to the Sky. Much of his early output was instrumental, a stark contrast to the lyrical focus of his later work. He used lo-fi techniques not because of an aesthetic preference but because he didn't have any other possiblitiy to make music. Once he signed a contract with Drag City, he also started to use recording studios and a greater variety of instruments for his records.
