Temporary Blessings - Fata Morgana B/W Silence Leaves An Open Wound [7" Vinyl]

Introducing: Temporary Blessings, the new project led by stalwart Melbourne trumpet player / composer Liam McGorry. Assembled to realise McGorry's compositions drawing on 1960s Italian & French soundtrack music, Temporary Blessings brings together trusted instrumentalists and fellow travelers from Melbourne's rich enclave of cinematic soul. With Liam at the helm, the group is composed of members of Surprise Chef, Karate Boogaloo, Saskwatch and Let Your Hair Down. The resulting recordings realise McGorry's sonic visions of film noir, giallo, library music and cinematic soul, captured live in one room with what the maestro describes as "a shared spirit". The recordings, produced by paragon Henry Jenkins, bring together emotive string arrangements, tough horns and a steadfast rhythm section with an acute attention to detail McGorry has developed over years in the saddle.Liam says: "I find great comfort in collaborating with good friends and playing together in the same room and taking these blessings as they come."A veteran of Melbourne soul, McGorry's steady hands have touched some of the city's most revered projects over the last 15 years; McGorry-led projects Saskwatch, Dorsal Fins and Ex-Olympian sit aside Sampa The Great, Ella Thompson and Adrian Eagle on Liam's heavy list of credits and collaborators. He has contributed more than his fair share of bricks to the great structure of Melbourne soul, always playing the background, true to his humble nature. College Of Knowledge Records are proud to introduce Temporary Blessings with their debut release, Fata Morgana b/w Silence Leaves An Open Wound, a look into the deep-running still waters of Temporary Blessings.
