Petrichor

Third Man

***Third Man Records is chuffed to present to you the New Mexico-based artist Heather Trost’s second or third solo full-length.?! Petrichor is fresh, unique, and really fucking good.?! Sonically, this modern psychedelic pop music is as experimental as it is accessible.?! Petrichor was recorded between 2018 and 2019 by Heather Trost and her husband Jeremy Barnes at their home studio.?! The two are community activists, urban gardeners, and full-time musicians.?! Trost has an impressive body of work, notably in collaboration with husband Barnes (Neutral Milk Hotel) on their own record label Living Music Dupli-Cation, and their dazzling and uncategorizable Eastern European folk-influenced band A Hawk And A Hacksaw, where she sings and plays violin, autoharp, keyboards, and other instruments.?! These seven lush, beautiful songs defy easy categorization, gleefully mixing elements from multiple genres--but it’s never to impress you or show off.?!

Agistri

L.M. Dupli-cation

Heather Trost is best known for her work composing and performing as one half of A Hawk And A Hacksaw.?! She has also played with Neutral Milk Hotel, Beirut, Josephine Foster, and most recently Thor Harris of Swans.?! She has arranged and performed with the BBC Concert Orchestra, as well as conductor Andre De Ridder and his Stargaze Orchestra, and toured throughout the world. In 2014 she released her first solo project, a 7-inch on Ba Da Bing Records, followed in 2015 by Ourobouros, a limited edition cassette of expansive electronic ambient compositions influenced by Basil Kirchin, Terry Riley and Angelo Badalamenti on Cimiotti Recordings.?! These two projects propelled a full length album: named after a Greek Island, Agistri is a song cycle of freely formed pop songs touching upon soul, samba, and pop music of the ’60s and ’70s, with a subtle shade of psychedelia.?!
