Indie rockers turn down the volume as they play in Kimchee honcho Andy Hong's living room and contribute to this "perfect late-night listening" compilation.
Editorial review
According to the liner notes by "Andy" (no last name given), this compilation was an outgrowth of his "putting together a home studio to do hi-fi recordings of bands in a living room environment." These tracks were, apparently, recorded in a living room or something like it, and meant for listening in a living room situation as well, since most of it is low-key alternative rock with a folky bent. There aren't any big names here, unless you count Richard Davies, but you might recognize Mary Timony (of Helium) and Chris Colbourn (of Buffalo Tom), who use this as an opportunity for a solo side project outing. It's pleasant, if not essential, stuff that's more agreeable than compelling. The tracks by Ida and Valerie have nice female harmonies that add sonic variety; Seana Carmody's "Crystallized Your World" sounds a little like the kind of folk-rock played by Penelope Houston. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
You're excused... go ahead and punch out. Exhale. Now go home. It's okay. You can leave all that behind you for awhile. There's another place. It's quiet and comfortable because it was designed to be that way. And you can always return to re-acquaint yourself with the person who lives there. Welcome to your living room.
There is no need at the moment to imagine the type of music that might prop you up for an evening in that room, under the afghan on your favorite couch with that satisfying read. We've done it for you. The In My Living Room compilation was recorded in a space much like yours. In it a mood was created and preserved by the individual efforts of visiting indie rockers who knew how and when to turn it down.
In My Living Room is equally divided between ensemble work and solo pieces. Richard Davies (and his band), Ida, and Karate are known entities, while Io is as well if you know their alter ego Cordelia's Dad.
