andrew reed & the liberation
A new album with a new sound…
Recorded by SATURATING analog tape running 3x normal speed, capturing performances at the time of inspiration… After more than a year of isolation in his cabin, away from the music world and social media, observing Nature…a lightness came… from these questions asked in humility…an album emerged with the confidence of a flower…

Can we live as a bird of the air? Or lily of the field?
I took a year (2019) to think about things…
And go as deep into Life as I could…isolating myself at the cabin…away from social media…going into high vibrational states…
The result…a “lightness” came… as a bird of the air…
about andrew
“Sometimes just driving and showing up at small town bars…and playing to the delight of surprised locals…”
“LIFE… Provides the material…I just write it down…I don’t want to be Mr. Big…”
“If I try to impress others, normally I don’t… The alternative is just to “be what you are”… This is liberation! And to PLAY for the love of it!”
A concept album about human frustrations & dilemmas – love, time, money, relationships, spirituality, loss, lack, longing, loneliness and being wronged… I dedicated myself to art and beauty…and the pursuit of truth… I drifted into states where I could not function well in the world…

about the album
We recorded an album that was so sonically different, it would cause a listener to sit up… We tore up the rule book….went retro 80s rock and used so much reverb, there was a reverb shortage around the world…” I played all the instruments except drums…played by the Amazing Wayne Redden.
