Micah P. Hinson And The Opera Circuit: new album, US tour

Posted by Flick in Uncategorized on 10 14th, 2006 | no responses |

When Micah P. Hinson released The Baby and The Satellite on Jade Tree, it was essentially a collection of music he had recorded while developing as a singer/songwriter. His music had gathered critical praise and this Texas kid began building a following in the UK. The release gave him time to get into the studio and record new material. No longer a one-man outift, he now has a band behind him, The Opera Circuit. This week, Micah P. Hinson released his sophomore disc on Jade Tree: Micah P. Hinson And The Opera Circuit. It was first released in the UK on August 28, on his UK label, Sketchbook Records. Both Jade Tree and Sketchbook are streaming the entire album on their sites.

Jade Tree describes Micah P. Hinson And The Opera Circuit:

"On the full-length follow up to his critically acclaimed The Baby and the Satellite EP, MICAH P. HINSON offers a substantiated account of misery and triumph, evoking translucent memories and physical struggle. Recorded, arranged and produced mainly at home in Abilene, TX during an ironically twisted period of heavy medication and physical torment brought on from recent back surgery, Micah P. Hinson and The Opera Circuit is the product of rallying above physical torment, facing proverbial closeted skeletons and discovering eventual resolution through the power of euphonic connection. Supported by a revolving cast of seasoned players, including Eric Bachmann (Crooked Fingers), The Opera Circuit imparts a newfound, expansive and virtual basement jam quality to Hinson's trademark no man's land take on hushed, emotive balladry. At the end of the tunnel, Micah P. Hinson and The Opera Circuit is a veritable reminder that progress through pain can be intimate, heartfelt and epically necessary."

Micah P. Hinson and The Opera Circuit is hitting a North American tour with Oakley Hall. The two bands will perform 21 shows, stretching across both coasts. Dates are listed below.
