Harnessing the interaction developed over hundreds of live gigs, the band have distilled a myriad of influences in to a unified intuitive approach.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFollowing a recent performance in the Blue Mountains, John Shand wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald that listening to STOCK was \"like looking at the blues through a dissonant kaleidoscope; (their) playground is the whole gamut of jazz, from its earliest New Orleans roots to the golden tenor saxophone era of Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster; from bebop to free jazz and jazz inflected with rock, funk and diverse music from around the globe. This quartet can dig deep anywhere across that gamut.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorking in close collaboration with producer Lachlan Carrick (Gotye, Lior, CW Stoneking, Mojo Juju), STOCK utilised the studio to capture and expand upon a new electro-acoustic paradigm that has been evolving onstage. The result is a bold offering with a distinctly Australian accent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe titles of the co-composed tracks reference natural\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ephenomena known as thermal inversions, unusual weather events long associated with witchcraft and sorcery. These collective aural sculptures are echoed in the thought-provoking and evocative painting which graces the cover by poetic Australian environmental artist Dale Cox.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReleased in 2020, the contemporary marriage of music and art coincided with Australia's tumultuous entry to the new decade in a way which we couldn't have foreseen. The titles 'Exhale' \u0026amp; 'We don't have to' take on new meanings in this context; and 'Too Soon', a meditation on recently departed friends, becomes a prayer for an entire continent (planet) in danger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘I Believe this Belongs to you’ was previously released on the trio album Swailing (2014), which uncannily also featured a painting by Dale Cox on the cover with a similar theme, albeit one less evolved. In this instance, this composition is dedicated to our First Nations brothers and sisters. Those of us with genealogical origins from elsewhere cannot even begin to fathom what this current tragedy means from their perspective. The health of this land is intrinsically tied to the health of its people. And while we choose to ignore one, we damage the other, and ourselves in the process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe believe now, as we have for many years, that the time for a TREATY is NOW.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite the lashings of existential dread, we remain hopeful and optimistic, and as Fenton enthuses of the musical result, “It is a joyful, freedom embracing, open-hearted exploration of sonic possibilities… an album which immediately brings a smile to your lips, exuding as it often does the sounds of a perfect summer (a happier summer than Australia is experiencing at present). IT IS THE SOUND OF NOW and I was delighted to hear in the new decade with this gem.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe hope STOCK takes you on an epic sonic adventure far from the mind-numbing and frustrating realities of the modern world. We hope it provides a small escape hatch for sanity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereleased January 1, 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJulien Wilson - soprano and tenor saxophones \/ clarinet \/ effects\u003cbr\u003eCraig Fermanis - electric guitar\u003cbr\u003eChristopher Hale - bass guitar\u003cbr\u003eHugh Harvey - drums and percussion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded August 9th \u0026amp; 10th 2018 at Headgap Studio, Melbourne\u003cbr\u003eEngineered by Lachlan Carrick\u003cbr\u003eAdditional recording\/editing at Liberty Sounds by Julien Wilson\u003cbr\u003eMixed and mastered at Moose Mastering by Lachlan Carrick\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Julien Wilson and Lachlan Carrick\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lionsharecords.com\/album\/stock\"\u003e- Bandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lionsharecords.com\/album\/stock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Lionsharecords ‎– LSR20207\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Limited Edition, Gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry: Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased: 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lion Share Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456753672350,"sku":"10118","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/143f77a51b56549cf361eeed47ce69eaed69c9ca.jpg?v=1646296301","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/julienwilsoncraigfermanischristopherhalehughharvey-stock","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
