Other Man's Blues was written and recorded while songwriter Tim Cohen split his time between two lives and two worlds, a horse ranch with his newborn daughter, and on tour or at Phil Manley's Lucky Cat Studios in San Francisco. A book of songs Cohen had written while bouncing to and fro sufficed in lieu of rehearsal time with the 13 other musicians who appear on the tracks: James Kim and James Barone (Beach House) on drums; Alicia Van Heuvel (Aislers Set) and Paul Garcia on bass; Joel Robinow (Once and Future Band \/ Danny James) on keys; Emmett Kelly (The Cairo Gang \/ The Muggers) on guitar; and omnipresent vocal harmonies from Alicia, Noelle Cahill and Anna Hillburg. The album is a loose, largely improvised affair, with many guest appearances and stop-ins. Allegedly tequila was centrally involved. It's the principle that gave this project a name five years ago. Especially in this case, the players on the album define what shapes these songs take. A ghostly choir of female voices opens the album like a séance, with the spirit they conjure flitting about the ensuing ten tracks, from the baroque pop of \"Forest of Kates\" to the icy post-punk of \"I Held the Ring.\" There's the air-tight R\u0026amp;B groove of \"Startling Chimes,\" the krauty \"Purest Thing,\" a jammy side-to-side trot that moves \"First Thought\" along, taking a detour into country before culminating in a glorious Grateful Dead-indebted coda. Throughout, it's Cohen's lyrics that are pushed to the front of the mix-collectively fleshed out, from his composition book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 More \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Forest of Kates \u003cbr\u003e1.3 I Held the Ring \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Scorpio \u003cbr\u003e1.5 First Thought \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Mockingbird \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Eternal Summer \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Purest Thing \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Startling Chimes \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Oysters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
