Lights From The Wheelhouse: Ep

THE LATE CORD'S debut EP, LIGHTS FROM THE WHEELHOUSE, is a prayerful, deep and contemplative blend of the acoustic and electronic, the traditional and experimental, the lyrical and abstract. JOHN-MARK LAPHAM (THE EARLIES) and MICAH P HINSON, are each from completely different musical backgrounds despite sharing the same birthplace - the small, arid West Texas town of Abilene. LIGHTS FROM THE WHEELHOUSE is the initial result of this pairing, and a full-length will follow in the yet-to-be-determined future. HINSON AND LAPHAM go all-out multi-instrumental on the record, with JOHN-MARK holding down organs, synthesizers, bells, tape recordings, space echo, loops and programming; and MICAH handling vocals, guitars, banjo, mandolin, upright piano, Casio keyboards, a Salvation Army organ, thumb piano, blow tuner, synthesizer, harmonica, toy accordion, trap set and samples.
