THERE'S NO HOME IS THE SECOND FULL-LENGTH FORMAL RELEASE FROM JANA HUNTER. RECORDED OVER TWO CONSECUTIVE WEEKS IN FALL 2006 AT A FRIEND'S HOME IN HOUSTON, TX (KNOWN LOCALLY AS 'FEAGAN HOUSE'), THE ALBUM FEATURES HUNTER WRITING, PLAYING AND PRODUCING THROUGHOUT. SECOND ALBUM FROM JANA HUNTER, RECORDED "PROPERLY" IN HOUSTON, AND WITH MORE COLLABORATION THAN ON HER PREVIOUS ALBUM, SHE MANAGES TO ROLL UP AND TRANSCEND THE ENTIRE NEW FOLK SCENE INTO THE 15 TRACKS ON THIS RECORD.

AS EXTROVERTED AS HUNTER?S PREVIOUS RELEASE BLANK UNSTARING HEIRS OF DOOM WAS INTROVERTED, THERE?S NO HOME FOCUSES ON COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. WHILE HUNTER PLAYS MOST OF THE INSTRUMENTS HERSELF, SHE?S AIDED AND ABETTED HERE BY HER BROTHER JOHN (INOCULIST, DETHRO SKULL), JOHN ADAMS (FATAL FLYING GUILLOTEENS) AND MATT BROWNLIE (BRING BACK THE GUNS), AMONG OTHERS. IN 2004, HUNTER MADE A BIG SPLASH AMONG FANS OF DISTINCTIVE MUSIC WITH ?FARM, CA,? A TRACK FEATURED ON THE DEVENDRA BANHART-CURATED GOLDEN APPLES OF THE SUN COLLECTION RELEASED BY ARTHUR MAGAZINE?S BASTET LABEL, FOLLOWED BY A VINYL-ONLY SPLIT WITH BANHART ON TROUBLEMAN. LATE THE FOLLOWING YEAR, HUNTER?S FULL-LENGTH DEBUT WAS THE INAUGURAL RELEASE ON GNOMONSONG, A LABEL FOUNDED BY BANHART AND VETIVER?S ANDY CABIC IN CONJUNCTION WITH REVOLVER USA. A THIRTEEN-SONG ?BEST OF,? COMPILED IN PART FROM VARIOUS CDR RELEASES, THIS COLLECTION GARNERED IMPRESSIVE CRITICAL ACCLAIM. HUNTER SPENT THE BULK OF 2006 TOURING EUROPE AND THE US (INCLUDING ONE STRING OF EAST COAST DATES TRAVELED BY SAILBOAT). SHE HITS THE ROAD AGAIN APRIL, 2007

Details

WISDOM THUNDERBOLT MARKS THE TRIUMPHANT RETURN OF VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA AFTER MORE THAN THREE YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS OF INTERMITTENT PERFORMANCE, TANGENTIAL PROJECTS, AND UNFINDABLE LIMITED EDITIONS. THE SEVEN TRACKS ON WISDOM ARE THEE VCO'S MOST ROCKING DISPATCH EVER, NEATLY COMBINING THE RA-LIKE COLLAGE OF TRACKS LIKE 'WISDOM THUNDERBOLT' WITH THE INSISTENT PULSING JAMS OF 'A NATURAL FACT' AND 'ORDER OF THE BROAD ERASER.' 'OCHRE DUST' AND 'RAINBOW WHIRLWIND' ARE MORE IN THE OLD-SCHOOL VCO THICK-BLANKET OF SOUND, WITH TUNED-PERCUSSION MELODY PEEKING OUT FROM THE FOG. AFTER A SURPRISE OPENING, 'SWAY- SAGE' HEAVES WITH RAUCOUS DRUMMING (COURTESY OF MAGIK MARKER PETE NOLAN) UNDER THE SWELLS OF SOUND. HARD TO IMAGINE, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST WIDELY AVAILABLE MUSIC (EXCEPT FOR THE TUNING TO THE ROOSTER COMP) FROM THE VCO SINCE 2003'S ACCLAIMED 'THE QUEEN OF GUESS.'
