David Allred Felt The Transition

Two years after the release of his acclaimed Erased Tapes debut, The Transition - named #17 Album of 2018 by The Sunday Times - Californian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist David Allred returns with a solo piano perspective on the album, aptly titled "Felt The Transition".Kept in their original track order, from the opening chords of Scoop Troop to the debut's standout piece The Garden, each composition gains a completely new light when performed on solo piano. For Catherine E. Coulson came about after David watched all of Twin Peaks in one block, which inspired him to write a wild punt for the new season's soundtrack, a tribute to the actress who played the infamous Log Lady. After opening for the legendary English ensemble and his now label colleagues Penguin Cafe at London's Royal Festival Hall in 2017, David decided to write a song For the Penguins. And it's not hard to imagine it being played by a group of twelve rather than just by himself, especially after Peter contributed additional strings on the original version. All of a sudden we feel that it's in fact the less known pieces, like the album closer Poet Tree that make for an equally strong entry point to this new record of solo piano songs.
