Your Sister's Hand Limited Vinyl LP

David Novick Your Sister's Hand Limited Vinyl LP

Overview:
• David Novick has cycled back around for his second album
release in less than a year. ‘Your Sister’s Hand’ stands
distinctly from his debut, bringing the deep-country
campfire folk vibe in from the great out-of-doors, where
the shape of the sound is more defined, more pronounced,
forward and colourful in arrangement, all of which allows
the songs to shine brighter.
• ‘Your Sister’s Hand’ was recorded in a room in San
Francisco, but manages to convey a message from way
out there in the pasture, which means David’s ability to
conjure atmospherically is growing. Endlessly falling in love
with a crumbling world, David’s songs reach towards the
sight of eternity, but the textures of electric and acoustic
guitars add contrast as they sooth and bristle next to each
other and somehow opening the vista ever wider. Drums
and vocal harmonies (either by David or Claire Plumb)
leave ghostly thumbprints on the images. It’s a lonely
sound; photographs of light pinned to the wall in an
isolated room - but hardwood floors and songs bring life.
• ‘Your Sister’s Hand’ opens with a guitar piece, with layers
of guitars reaching through the styles of time and feeling
almost classical in moments - then the album really hits
stride with ‘Beneath The Line’ (one of two songs featuring
GOD? label boss Ty Segall on drums), a hushed, acoustic
pop-rock song featuring a chorus of female voices singing
the winsome melody in a fashion that recalls Rasa Davies’
incandescent contributions to the early Kinks’ hits. It is
then followed by some Fripp Eno worthy guitar leads,
making it a guaranteed heartbreaker wherever ears are
connected to hearts.
• Filled with light and fragrant sounds and songs, ‘Your
Sister’s Hand’ is a hypnotic day trip that wants to ride
along with you as you go.
