The Hinges
The Hinges are The Psychedelic Folk Sextet from Olympia
Washington. Now comes the 3rd Chapter in their evolution
from a duo to a six-person outfit with a new album titled
Postcard. Recorded at Avast Recording Co., Seattle, WA
and completed at Delphi Oracle Olympia, The Hinges
return with an expanded, richer and fuller "band" sound
for the heart and mind.
Karen Hancock and Danny Kelly released their first duo
CD, Surprise! in 2013 with the contribution of friend and
producer Colm Meek. Home recorded and fully self*produced, the 9 songs from that first record are still staples
in today's live sets. By the time of their second record,
2018's Buzz & Shine, they had begun playing with
drummer Robin Toye and bassist Robin Green, which
instantly gave the band and the record a richer and more
percussive feel. After Buzz & Shine's release the
recording of the next record was already underway along
with the addition of violinist Ben MacSpadden. Then the
pandemic...
The Hinges resumed recording with a whole new
approach. The band convened, post-pandemic, at Avast!
and recorded as a full live band, now expanded to the full
sextet that it is today with the addition of keyboard player
Theo Ragun. Postcard, produced by Ken Levy, is their
most expansive and dimensional endeavor yet, with plenty
of little sonic surprises throughout. Enjoy!
