Album Notes

With its sunny guitar, sweeping violin, African-inspired beats, and tight female vocal harmonies, StitchCraft boldly defies genre-labeling and produces a brand new sound.

Combining a unique mix of guitar, fiddle, drums, mandolin, percussion, and weaving vocals, this trio out of San Francisco, California plays a dynamic and versatile array of music from lyrical ballads to driving and powerful anthems, from pop-driven, loop-based electric pandemonium, to genre-bending, world-music-inspired folk fusion. Their music mixes rich harmonic arrangements, thoughtful lyrics, and undercurrents intricately woven rhythms to produce delicate yet vivid melodic textures.

StitchCraft's new album, Through the Hoolaboo, creates a densely rich and atmospheric soundscape with powerful vocals, orchestral arrangements, and a creative range of instrumental influences. The resulting sounds reflect this group's broad repertoire and varied range of influences. This highly anticipated album combines these musicians' ever-developing styles to produce a fluid and conceptual tour de force.

Over the course of a year and a half, these fellow musicians recorded the album in a range of unusual locations, from the back of a San Francisco picture frame shop to a little shack in the Redwoods to their home studio in the city. The album features a host of guest musicians from the San Francisco Bay Area. StitchCraft's Through the Hoolaboo was recorded and produced by Ashley Beach of Seagrape Studios.

These musicians are charting new territory and turning heads as they take their eclectic sounds and rhythms to new levels. Through their lulling songstress counterpoint and captivating parables, their colorful poetry pulls in a wide range of audiences and reveals the connections they spark in each other on stage.
