Plus, a recent Astrology reading informed Lina they are entering a new creative moment directly related to childhood suppression (said Astrologer will be receiving a free copy of Visiting). The opportunity to make Visiting came at the perfect time. The singer-songwriter approach started losing its appeal, and Tullgren explored experimental gigs like joining the backup band for Mayo Thompson’s Corky’s Debt To His Father tour. Meanwhile, Tullgren moved to New York, and started attending free music shows - be it rock, jazz or noise - and began to listen to boundary-pushing artists like Polly Bradfield and Henry Flynt. They released two albums on the label Captured Tracks, with songs featuring electric guitar and their wonderfully laconic voice. Their playing shifted from an attempt to achieve perfection to a “joyful and unrestrained” exploration of tone and timbre, how subtleties of differing approaches affected the entire mood of what they played.įrom their teens onward into their twenties, Tullgren’s tastes expanded, leading them to ultimately put down the violin in exchange for guitar. Their interest in the piece inspired Lina’s mother to send them where the young teen was fated to go: fiddle camp in rural Maine! For the first time, they felt the communal power of music. At the age of 13, ,Tullgren’s teacher gave them a different kind of music to sight read, a fiddle tune. “For a kid, learning violin is a real blow to your self-esteem, because it takes so long to get the instrument to sound good,” Tullgren says.
The three longform improvised pieces on Visiting feature Tullgren on their first instrument, picked up at the age of seven, and besotted by tedious hours practicing performance in the rigorous style of classical music.
Tullgren’s main occupation as singer-songwriter - with two albums released on Captured Tracks - does not set proper expectations for this new release, which is comprised of violin-based drone best suited for Appalachian Deep Listening.
