Jordie Lane Announces
Second Album ‘Blood Thinner’ and National Tour.
Melbourne’s Jordie Lane returns from an extended stint in the U.S. to release his second album, Blood Thinner. To celebrate its impending release on Friday, July 15th (Vitamin Records), Jordie is thrilled to announce a national tour with more than 20 dates across our great big land in July and August.
Jordie Lane’s second LP takes a sharp and unique turn away from his critically acclaimed studio debut, Sleeping Patterns. Completely stripped back to the bare bones of
recording techniques, the tracks on Blood Thinner were captured between a remote desert motel room, a basement and, finally, a
bleeding hot garage in Eagle Rock, LA.
Responsible for almost every sound on the recording, Jordie creates some truly unique
sounds using everything from kitchen utensils, wine glasses, boxes and banjo skins, and even a fan-powered harmonium found on the side of the highway for $10.
Co-produced and mixed by multi Grammy Award winner Tom Biller, (Beck, Kanye West, Karen O), and mastered by Grammy
award winner Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering, Hollywood, Blood\Thinner is a record that travels across landscapes with gospel choirs, near-techno beats, campfire folk songs, bluegrass and West-coast country. It’s the journey of a lonesome traveller dealing with such heavy themes as anxiety, betrayal, guilt and sinning. Drifting between the lines of love and money, and always staying true to Jordie’s storytelling prowess.
After releasing his highly acclaimed debut album Sleeping Patterns in June 09, Jordie has since played sold-out tours across the country, and has appeared on ABC TV’s Spicks and Specks, and SBS’s RockWiz, as well as being included on Triple J’s ‘Like A Version Vol 6′, for his brilliant version of MGMT’s ‘Electric Feel’ with Jen Cloher.
Jordie has been invited to play shows alongside artists such as Cat Power(USA), Loudon Wainwright III, Neko Case(USA), Charlie Parr(USA), Old Crow Medicine Show(USA) and National tours with locals, Tex Perkins and Ash Grunwald. And Festivals including Port Fairy 07,09,11, Falls Festival 09-10 and West Coast Blues Roots 2010.
