The band is still active today, having released their \nseventh album, \"Blood\/Candy\"\nin 2010...an album heaped with critical praise in the UK press...The \nWord magazine devoted two pages to a review which called it \"a finely \ncalibrated....dazzling tapestry...just\nstupidly good\".\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to his groundbreaking work with the Posies, \u003cstrong\u003eKen was part of rock legends Big Star\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the most acclaimed and legendary groups of all time, from 1993\nuntil the death of \u003cstrong\u003eAlex Chilton\u003c\/strong\u003e in 2010. Ken played \nbass, sang and helped create the band’s 2005 album \"In Space\", their \nfirst since 1978’s timeless \"Third\/Sister Lovers\".\nHe’s still frequently called upon to perform, speak about, and celebrate\n the music of one of the cornerstones of indie rock.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKen also spent ten years on the road and in studio with R.E.M.\u003c\/strong\u003e,\n appearing on two albums (2001’s \"Reveal\" and 2004’s \"Around the Sun\"), \nand propelling the band on\nkeyboards, bass, guitar and accordion during headlining slots at \nGlastonbury, Rock In Rio, Rock Am Ring, etc as well as on TV shows such \nas Top of the Pops, Saturday\nNight Live, Later With Jools Holland and countless others.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe list of collaborations goes on: guitarist in punk legends \nLagwagon; producer\/engineer on albums for Damien Jurado, the Long \nWinters, China’s Hanggai, and dozens\nmore; onstage and on-album appearances with \u003cstrong\u003eSnow Patrol\u003c\/strong\u003e (keyboards on their landmark \"Eyes Open\" album), \u003cstrong\u003eNeil Young\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePatti Smith\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMudhoney\u003c\/strong\u003e,\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeath Cab For Cutie\u003c\/strong\u003e...to list all his work over the years would add up to hundreds of albums and thousands of live appearances.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThen there’s his \u003cstrong\u003esolo work\u003c\/strong\u003e. A scant three albums \nover the last two decades (1997’s \"This Sounds Like Goodbye\", 2001’s \n\"Touched\", and 2004’s \"Soft Commands\"), all\ngarnering high praise in Pitchfork, Mojo, NME and other incontrovertible\n indie rock media. The albums mix Ken’s deeply expressed, emotional \nsinging with delicate support:\nacoustic, electric, electronic, chamber--Stringfellow is adept at many \nstyles. His shows are legendary, pushing minimalism to its core \ndefinition, often performing without\nusing the house PA, Ken’s voice soars, cries, leaps from barely audible \nto room-filling anguish, joy, sorrow and humor. Ken’s live show has been\n raved about in packed\naudiences from Lithuania to Lima, from Taipei to Tasmania, from \nJohannesburg to Trinidad.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e \"Danzig in the Moonlight\" is his fourth album\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The album has moments of\nfearsome electro-tinged menace, balanced with some of the most intensely\n intimate fragility you're likely to encounter on record this year. Like\n Stringfellow's lifestyle\nit's multi-national, genre-defying, challenging and deeply musical. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e_______________________________________________________________________\u003cbr\u003ePACKING VINYL THE CORRECT WAY—I package each record to avoid bent corners and seam splits. Here’s how:\u003cbr\u003e* All records are packaged in new vinyl mailer boxes and assembled using a variation of bubble wrap, shrink and cardboard flats.\u003cbr\u003e* ALL records are put inside a 2-3 mm clear sleeve. (I use the soft sleeves, not the ones that sound like you’re opening a bag of Doritos when you work with them.) \u003cbr\u003e* If the record is used or open, the vinyl and its inner sleeve will always be shipped outside the jacket but inside the same clear sleeve.\u003cbr\u003e* I reinforce the corners of each box mailer (no matter what size it is) by using cardboard “planks” secured to each corner around the edge to prevent damage when tossed around in the mail. This makes a difference.\u003cbr\u003eSEE FEEDBACK COMMENTS.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Ninevolt Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46019665592476,"sku":"EB-183472598019","price":26.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9925\/8012\/files\/57_a92f2879-fedf-4ccd-a89a-e8d072bedd4f.jpg?v=1769497686","url":"https:\/\/ninevoltrecords.com\/products\/ken-stringfellow-the-posies-danzig-in-the-moonlight-vinyl-lp-record-nvr-played","provider":"Ninevolt Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
