Search - Alex Nackman :: Still Life Moves

Nackman s 2008 album and his fifth overall, STILL LIFE MOVES. The release is the first of Nackmans five releases that he has self-produced from this 20-something troubadour who began his career playing in coffeeshops throughout the northeast. The mood on this album is certainly one of thought-provoking, almost visceral, emotion. On A Letter Nackman sings, 'Did I love you away / Closing walls / Did I move too fast / I think it's fast enough.' There is a certain feeling of Nackman questioning and wondering why certain things ended up in specific ways and what the true design of such events are for. The song Stone opens with the lines 'I can feel the river's end, my sunfish had survived.' Producing was a task I had never taken on entirely by myself, says Nackman. But, this time around it was something I felt I had to do. These songs were born out of a tough year between 2006-2007, with the untimely passing of my drummer, Chris Williams. I wanted to take these songs from the moment I had written them till the end of recording them in order to shape the mood just right, based on the emotions backing the music Nackman s previous album, Sunrise Falls was released in 2006 and was produced by Todd Wright and Brian Fechino (Pat McGee Band) as well as Nackman himself. Four tracks from the album were featured on MTV s The Hills in March 2007 and another track was featured on Real World Denver this past May. In addition, favorable press and miles of touring (including several sold out shows) have seasoned this young troubadour with a sound that is mature beyond his years. And along with recent tours supporting Cheyenne Kimball and Josh Hoge, Nackman has also developed a fan base in the U.K., with his solo acoustic performances filling rooms on a regular basis.
