Tip Of The Sphere is the 9th studio album from Cass McCombs. His previous work, Mangy Love, combines soul, psychedelia, and rock. On Tip Of The Sphere, McCombs still smoothly switches between styles. The songwriting, done in a short time, has 'raw immediacy and a great balance of compassion and experimentation'. Check out 'Sleeping Volcanoes', which compares people's emotional changes to a dormant lava pool, or 'The Great Pixley Train Robbery', an upbeat song showing McCombs's storytelling skills. The 11 - song album is driven by 'a journeying mysticism and dark grace'. Listen to 'Estrella', 'I Followed the River South to What', 'Absentee', and 'Rounder'. This deluxe version has 3 bonus songs, making it 14 tracks in total. It comes with a debossed cover, a lyric sheet, a 'Castillo de la Esfera' insert, and is from the Anti - label in 2019.
To use this vinyl album, simply place it on your record player, gently drop the needle onto the grooves, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on the surface. Store the album in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent warping. If the vinyl gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove dust. Also, be careful with the insert and lyric sheet to keep them in good condition.
