NANCE, DAVID KENNETH - Actors Diary

"Grapefruit is a\r\nsubscription_Ǭ_based record club now in its third year, founded by musician Simon Joyner and Ba Da Bing Records\r\nhead Ben Goldberg to release exclusive, limited_Ǭ_edition, vinyl _Ǭ_only albums as part of an annual series, sharing\r\nidentical cover art but in different colors. Subscribers receive an LP every three months, by artists that are of some renown, or are just getting started. The only connection between each group is that Joyner and Goldberg\r\nare both fans. Only 300 copies of each release are pressed_¢‚Ǩ‚Äùand for a limited time, these LPs are now available\r\noutside a direct subscription in extremely low quantities. Goldilocked hero and Unread Records cassette veteran\r\nDavid Kenneth Nance recently stepped out of his burned_Ǭ_out basement in Omaha, Nebraska, and steeped\r\nhimself in the city of angels, provoking collective grief and inciting small riots in the hearts of Omahas house\r\nshow universe. Rocker and singer_Ǭ_songwriter from that catchy, shambolic mess called The Prairies, he also\r\nplays lead guitar and shouts in Simon Joyners band, the Ghosts. Here he is making his vinyl debut, paying debts\r\nand taking names. Recorded late at night alone in Joyners warehouse studio, Casa de los Fantasmas, over a\r\ntwo_Ǭ_month period leading up to his West Coast pilgrimage, Actors Diary confides anguish and expectation and\r\nmeditations on what was, is, and might be in the artists life. A certain Omaha sacred monster recently called\r\nNance _¢‚Ǩ_ìthe best bad guitarist hes ever heard._¢‚Ǩ¬ù Channeling Jim Shepard, heroin _Ǭ_era Stones and New Zealands\r\nnotorious Jefferies brothers through broken and poorly repaired gear, Nance rock is indeed the new pasture! - Grapefruit
