Based in Northern California, the Hips headed to New Mexico, spending time at Ghost Ranch before settling in at Jono Manson's Kitchen Sink studio in Sante Fe in late 2021 for the sessions. Self-produced, When We Disappear features nine new tracks co-written by co-founders Tim Bluhm and Greg Loiacono --- a collection of lit-psych rock songs Inspired by psychology and literature --- as well as a raw, garagey cover of Buffy St. Marie's 1964 addiction song , "rdquo" -> Codine." Hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as , "rdquo" -> one of the Bay Area's most beloved live outfits," The Mother Hips' headline and festival performances have became the stuff of legend, finding them sharing stages with everyone from Johnny Cash and Wilco to Lucinda Williams and The Black Crowes. Rolling Stone called the band , "rdquo" -> divinely inspired," while Pitchfork praised their , "rdquo" -> rootsy mix of 70's rock and power pop," and The New Yorker lauded their ability to , "rdquo" -> sing it sweet and play it dirty." SKYWAY MAN Like a West Coast Dr. John---but more preoccupied with flying saucers than voodoo dolls---Skyway Man is in the business of opening new aural worlds, cracking open reality just enough to get the message through. Flight of the Long Distance Healer sparkles and blinks, whispers and moans---hugely enjoyable music rendered in imaginative and gleaming style. There are hints of the polyrhythmic cinematic sensibility from Wallace's contributions to the Joe Pera television series, rhythms of the Stax-inspired Spacebomb house band, and ripples of the current East Bay scene outside San Francisco. In a real showcase for the extended Skyway Man family, Wallace has coaxed personal and masterful performances from the likes of Erin Rae, Vetiver's Andy Cabic, Molly Sarlé, pedal steel wizard Spencer Cullum, Kelly McFarling, and more. Cooking up genres in such a way as to keep their nutrients intact, he packs prog, blues, glam rock, swamp boogie, and future folk into a beautiful Martian bouillon.
