It’s a lineup of intriguing band names: Time and Temperature, Holy Holy Vine and Hospital Call. Even if you don’t know anything about the performers involved, the roster for the Sunday, Oct. 13 show at The Apothecary (39 S. Market St., Asheville) just sounds like it would produce otherworldly sounds and memorable moments.
Time and Temperature is Val Glenn, from Columbus, Ohio. Her new release, “Cream of the Low Tide,” was recorded in house studio with a rotating cast of friends filling in instrument parts.
Both Hospital Call and Holy Holy Vine are local acts. Show time is 8 p.m.
From the Facebook invite:
Val Glenn aka Time & Temperature started playing shows in her hometown of Columbus, Ohio in 2004 and has since spun a tight community in DIY and small creative communities across the country. The world of Time & Temperature has always seemed shrouded somewhat in mystery. A quiet promoter herself, releases were constrained to short runs of cassettes, handmade CDs or limited-edition vinyl singles until 2010, when she digitally debuted the 7-song Cream of the Low Tide. Anyone who found that record found a treasure.
Now, with a recent relocation to Minneapolis and forthcoming releases on Supply & Demand (Dark Dark Dark, Vandaveer), Glenn’s music is poised to creep its way into the hearts of a larger and much-deserved audience. Her songs are so beautiful and intimate that each song feels like a privileged invitation to an artfully arranged eavesdropping session. Or a case study in the power of carefully plucked strings and a lilting voice.
Hospital Call: Solo project of Asheville’s Amanda Haswell. Her music features sparse guitar with haunting vocals that explore themes of gender, death, and nostalgic yearning.
Holy Holy Vine: solo electric fingerpickin’, new songs.
