Des Ark

***To say AIMEE ARGOTE is a prolific songwriter is a complete understatement. She's constantly creating and touring and you shouldn't miss an opportunity to see her perform live. Sometimes, those shows are loud—Aimée blowing up the room with a backing band and a wall full of amplifiers. Not always, though. Just as frequently, she plays acoustic, dialing the volume back to an intimate, living room-appropriate level. This is one of those performances. The 9 songs on this 12" were recorded live on WXDU 88.7 by ROSS GRADy in January of 2010 and were performed by a solo DES ARK—that means it's just Aimée with her guitar and voice, backed occasionally by guitarist JOHNNY WARD (PYGMY LUSH). The vinyl is a coke bottle clear color and the cover art features a two-color screen-print. This is a reissue of the Paramnesia Records version which is now out of print. (STREET DATE - 11/19/2013)
