Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
This LP is a gentle and magical mystery tour of simmering acoustic strings, organs, pianos and mellotrons, tape loops, found sounds and a whisper of percussion, laced through Kramer's distinctively idiosyncratic singing voice and lyrics.

Kramer describes the mood that fueled the writing and recording, as follows;

“A terrifying wind is coming. I recorded this LP as I wondered, through sound and song, if I’d ever collaborate on making music with another artist by my side again, or live to see another New Year’s Eve, or hear my daughter’s voice again, or Love again. Time will darken it. It always does. Do I really want to be the last man standing, in a wind like this?”

Yet, from those dark origins, Kramer has crafted an achingly beautiful and ultimately hopeful song cycle that conveys a full spectrum of emotion while retaining a cohesive and distinctive sound all his own; the sound of a soul laid bare.

about

"He who sings, frightens his woes away." - Cervantes

Celebrated as a collaborator, producer and champion for some of the most boundary-pushing artists of his generation, this is Kramer's first solo collection of original songs since 1998.

The 10-track "And the Wind Blew It All Away" is the culmination of Kramer’s 2020 tenure as Artist-In-Residence for Indianapolis-based Joyful Noise Recordings. The indie label’s goal was to provide a forum for his original material and support a revival of his groundbreaking Shimmy-Disc label, whose roster has included Daniel Johnston, Boredoms, Jad Fair, King Missile, Boredoms, WEEN, John Zorn's Naked City, and Kramer’s bands Bongwater, B.A.L.L. and Shockabilly.

Kramer – whose production credits also include Galaxie 500, Will Oldham, Daniel Johnston, Low and Urge Overkill – performed all the instruments and vocals on the record, which features nine new songs and closes with a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Winter Lady.”

Sonic Youth is one of those bands where you easily run out of superlatives to describe what they created. This could've easily come off as a cynical cash-grab by a band that had broken up 11 years prior to the release of this record, but that's not what this is. Some of my favourite Sonic Youth instrumentals. sentient meat

kramer never got the credit he deserved, perhaps he did really, perhaps overall he did. now it's full circle most music affictionado's know who he is i suppose, but did everyone listen properly ? kramer's music works like a moebius band, this song for example, 'fingers' , a little like one of my faves, 'free love messes up my life', a short ditty that i could talk about for days, very clever, and a nice album, - as with all his work, listen close, kramer makes music like no one else.
