Red House Painters has grown to be a cult group and one of 4AD's most beloved artists in the years that have passed since their debut. Their time with the label has seen them record a variety of records, which helped define the label. 4AD will release their first four albums, Down Colorful Hill, Red House Painters, Ocean Beach, and Bridge in a box set on April 21st.
Drop: a reverb-drenched six-song debut
It was only a year after Red House Painters first formed that they released their debut album, a six song LP entitled 'Drop' which was drenched with reverb and reminiscent of an early C100 Memorex cassette. The songs were a bit slow, but they had a nice feel to them. Mark Kozelek’s vocals were clear.
The band's reverb soaked guitars reminded me of Neil Young. It was also known for their strong penchant to cover classic rock songs. Kozelek, however, had his own material, which wasn’t always the easiest to access. He reworked John Denver's 'Take Me Home' into an acoustic version, and also covered 'I Am A Rock' by Simon and Garfunkel on the 1993 album Rollercoaster.
'Moments': a more pastoral approach
The following album, "Ocean Beach", featured a more folk-influenced approach. There are no long, droning songs like their early albums. And there are many more melodies. Lyrical narratives are also included. It was the last album to feature Gorden Mack as guitarist. Kozelek began moving toward a more radio-friendly sound with this album. Songs like 'Summer Dress" and San Geronimo featured more upbeat lyrics. The album's covers for 'Long Distance Runaround’ by Yes and ‘Drop’ by Fleetwood Mac are more relaxed than their earlier work.
'Long Distance Runaround’: Acoustic cover of a hit 1971 song
While the Red House Painters have covered many popular rock tracks over time, 'Long Distance Runaround’ was their first cover acoustic. Although it isn't their best cover, it's a solid track that Kozelek breaks out of his shell to deliver more well-crafted songs and melodies.
"Ocean Beach": A more reflective approach
Kozelek took a more folk-influenced approach when they recorded Ocean Beach. There are fewer long, dreamlike epics than on their first albums and more songs that are more contemplative than ever.
FAQ
Do you have any other suggestions?
Yes. Please check your local laws for details about what projects you are allowed to do and the conditions that you need. Some states require you to get approval from the council to build. Others say you just need to inform them of your plans. Find out the position of your local authorities on this matter by checking with them.
Do I require a legal representative in order to sign my Service Agreements
No. You don't need a legal representative to sign your service agreements. However, you may want to appoint one as a precautionary measure.
Legal representatives are people who represent another person. If you are an entrepreneur, you may choose to have someone represent you professionally.
This could involve hiring a solicitor, accountant, or other professional. It could also mean someone being appointed to manage your business interests.
In most cases, the client will appoint a legal representative. Sometimes, however.
Legal representation in any case means that you are legally protected.
Is there an upper limit on how much I can spend?
No. No. But, it is possible to negotiate a lower cost with the contractor.
Where can I obtain more information about building permits
Contact your local government agency (e.g., NSW Local Government Association) for more information. They will be able to tell you what steps you should take to obtain building permits.
Is there a way to prepare for negotiation before hand?
Yes!
There are many ways to prepare yourself for negotiations.
One way is to write out the terms and conditions of the agreement
What happens when one party refuses to take their side in a deal?
Failure to fulfill your obligations under the agreement can lead to the law allowing the other party to declare your promise null and sue you for damages. Damages include the amount owed plus interest, court costs, and legal fees.
Can I cancel my contracted at any moment?
Yes. However, you must notify the court within 14 days of signing the contract. You can usually terminate your contract by giving written notice up to 7 working days before the end date specified in your contract. But, you could still owe the contractor money if you give too little notice.
