Synopsis

Album Description
Ever Records and Inertia are proud to announce the release of CORTNEY TIDWELL's debut full length album, 'Don't Let Stars Keep Us Tangled Up'. Recorded at home and at Nashville's Beat Hollow studios, co-produced by Cortney Tidwell and her husband Todd. Guests include members of LAMBCHOP: KURT WAGNER duets on "Society" and is joined by founding member JONATHON MARX, whilst WILLIAM TYLER - Lambchop's guitarist - contributes extensively. RYAN NORRIS of Nashville's HANDS OFF CUBA, performs on a number of tracks, as well co-writing "I Do Not Notice" & "Illegal" with Cortney. Cortney's unusual and uncompromising approach has resulted in a music of fascinating beauty: staggering, desolate, country infused laments sprinkled with subtle flourishes of electronics; skeletal, eerie, haunting structures that reach out far beyond their geographic roots. Cortney's voice is even more remarkable, an arresting and vulnerable instrument that recalls the likes of PATSY CLINE, LESLIE FEIST, HOPE SANDOVAL aka MAZZY STAR, BETH ORTON, BJORK or LIZ FRAZER in her COCTEAU TWIN era.

CD Reviews

Fucking GREATTTT!!! That's what Cortney is!!!
David Irwin | 11/23/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

""Don't Let The Stars Keep Us Tangled Up" is the first full length album from Nashville native Tidwell! She has a sound like no other and writes songs like no other.

Pay no attention to the comparisons to Bjork! Cortney is a gateway to your own imagination, not a visualized canvas! What you hear is not always what you see...or get!

Every song is unique and gives one the opportunity to feel, even if it's different upon repeated listenings! Give Cortney and this album a chance! She will become your new favorite drug!"
Favorite for 2006 so far

"Comparisons to Bjork, Hope Sandoval and Beth Orton are understandable. I must say though that Cortney Tidwell sounds very much her own artist. Her sound is well developed and singular to this listener's ears, with the exception of a couple moments where things get frighteningly Sundaysish. Even those are forgivable given the quality of material. I've deleted three out of the eleven tracks from my Mac and iPod and listen mostly to just seven of the remaining eight tracks... And I still think this is the best thing I've heard all year. 'Eyes Are at the Billions', Don't Let Stars Keep Us Tangled Up', and 'The Tide' are miniature cinematic gems. 'The Missing Link', 'La La' and 'Our Time' are just as lovely. I'm hoping once my copy of her debut ep arrives I can cobble a good 45 minute mix tween the two with the best tracks. This is musical crack honestly. Not as devastating or long as my 2005 fave; the National's 'Alligator', but lovely lovely. Recommended highly for people who cherish their quiet dimensions."
