![]() ![]() ![]() Always a good sign, that they support their product.Įdit: oh, the wood is nice, nice grain nice piece of Mahogany, very pretty finish. No question, I don't see how anyone could not like this guitar.īTW, I called them, and they answered the phone and talked to me first time. I still love Les Pauls #1, and nothing sound like a Strat with the standard Strat pickups, no matter how hard they try. Sounds great, and perfectly balanced, so nice to play sitting down as well as standing.īut getting a guitar a price not much more than I could sale it used for if I keep it perfect (which I will), with no risk other than paying for return shipping if I wanted to send it back, how do you beat that?īut I won't send it back. ![]() I still love my other guitars, but the Parker is definitely a keeper. If you don't like it, just ship it back and get a refund for 45 days. And they had prices further reduced this week on them. So this to me is a great way to buy a guitar. Also got a Gibson Firebird scratch and dent, and it showed signs of being played, but with some buffing it look pretty near perfect. I once got an Gibson SG Standard scratch and dent and it was the same, perfect. The Parker is perfect, not a mark on it, nothing whatever. Typically these are customer returns, and often as perfect as straight from the factory. Generally they sale for $1,759 with gig bag at Musician's friend, but mine was not only $400 less, but had a hard shell case for some reason. Fortunately it is located across the state line in Missouri, so that saved me over $100 in sales tax. Took just one day to ship, because MusiciansFriend is located in Kansas City, just 40 miles from here. As Ocean/England perfectly illustrates, she is an artist who is diverse, evocative, and totally captivating.It arrived. With her atmospheric brand of hymnal dream folk already capturing ears and hearts across the Oxfordshire area, Julia Meijer offers a rare voice in the contemporary world of singer-songwriters. England also features a special guest appearance from acclaimed Oxford bass player Phil Hanaway-Oakley. Her live band consists of Sebastian Reynolds (keys), Greg Stewart of Guillemots (drums), Andrew Warne (guitar), and her sister Josefin Meijer (backing vocals). Since moving to the UK, Julia has played a range of shows in Oxford and London, becoming known for her performances in galleries, churches, pubs and cafes in the Oxford area – her most memorable perhaps being the Andy Warhol/William Morris exhibition launch event at the Modern Art Oxford and to a packed Folk Barn at Wilderness Festival. for the first time, powered by the Miami-based hip-hop duo’s singles. To me, Sweden (in contrast to Oxfordshire) is all about the sea and lakes, and I could really imagine the sense of feeling so close to the ocean that you feel at one with it”. 1 on Billboard ‘s Emerging Artists chart (dated April 6), becoming the top emerging act in the U.S. Recorded with Richard Neuberg of legendary dark folk band ViaRosa at his Strawhouse studio in North Oxfordshire, Julia explains how “as England is about my impressions of the English countryside, Ocean is about my impressions of Sweden. Steinarr, who lived between 19, is one of the most respected Icelandic poets of all time, and is still a national hero there, although almost entirely unknown outside of his native country. For the most recent Irish act to top the Official UK Singles Chart, you have to go all the way back to 2012, when The Script teamed up with will.i.am to score their only Number 1 to date Hall. The lyrics of Ocean are based on Hav (ocean/sea) by Icelandic poet Steinn Steinarr. Both tracks are melancholic and intricately arranged, though the tones are quite different, resulting in a truly double-sided single. Whereas Ocean evokes the sort of emotional sincerity and dream world, wide-eyed psychedelia that artists such as Julia Holter have built careers on, and features some brooding ambient synth layers courtesy of keyboard player Sebastian Reynolds, England nods towards the parochial mood of psychedelic folk-rock acts such as The Incredible String Band and Vashti Bunyan and is built around the chiming guitar layers of Andrew Warne and the rolling rhythms of Guillemots drummer/percussionist Greg Stewart. Having moved to the UK from Sweden 3 years ago, Julia is a singer/songwriter whose music is simultaneously expansive and intimate. Listen to Ocean/England below which we’ve also chosen as a double Song of the Day. Although she will be a new name to most of you we don’t believe that will be for very long. It’s with great pleasure that we can share this double-sided single from Julia Meijer.
