Following on from "Moon," Beth's first release in four years, "1973" features George Lewis Jr. on guitars and Guillermo E. Brown on drums.
"1973" is taken from Kidsticks (released on Anti- on May 27), Beth Orton's seventh album. It is the first record Beth has written on synthesizers instead of acoustic guitar. The album started with 10 days of Beth and co-producer Andrew Hung making loops in a garage in LA. Over the next 18 months, Beth built the tracks up from basic four-bar loops into beautiful multi-layered electronic songs augmented by live musicians, in her first official foray into production.
The album was mixed by David Wrench (Hot Chip, Caribou) and features guest musicians like Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor and Twin Shadow's George Lewis Jr.
