Val Emmich’s new album, Aide Memoire, is being released on October 11th. It was produced in Omaha in just ten days - recorded in seven, mixed for three. It is very raw and probably the most personal album he’s made so far.
A little bit about the album, from the Kickstarter project that made it all happen -
Right about the same time I started writing songs for this album and formulating ideas about what it was really about, I stumbled on the painting below. It’s a work by my friend Mike Ferrari. I called him up and told him I wanted it to be the cover of my new album, an album that wasn’t even fully written yet. So much about the image clicked with me and I started writing and rewriting with this picture in my mind. Like the boy in the painting, I started going west…backwards in time…inside my memory. I was becoming the boy…the boy I once was. Soon, the band and I will complete the story by traveling west from New Jersey to Omaha to record the album.
I wanted to post one of the tracks as a “teaser,” if you will, but all of the files are too large for Tumblr. So…. you’re just going to have to buy the record and find out for yourself. I promise it’ll be a great investment. Oh, and don’t yell at me if it makes you cry……..
