Slight Freedom is Jeff Parker's first solo record. Recorded between 2013 and 2014 as he moved from Chicago to Los Angeles in the Hollywood Hills, it offers a unique chance to hear the guitarist fully express himself. Parker combines his signature dark tones and percussive attack with real - time processing and field recordings, creating a special world of solo guitar music. It's full of mystery, multilingual in feel, and alive with amazing sonic events. The title composition sets a cavernous mood. In his take on Frank Ocean's 'Super Rich Kids', he bends the melody into a bossa - nova - inspired tone poem. His long - form version of Chad Taylor's 'Mainz' is a standout, pushing his techniques to the limit. His rendition of 'Lush Life' is an instant classic. This long - awaited repress is pressed on 120 - gram audiophile - quality black vinyl by RTI, with lacquers cut at Sterling Sound by Steve Fallone, and comes in a retro flipback jacket. It's the second edition of 1,399 copies, released by Eremite in 2022.
