![]() ![]() Shannen Moser: Just looking back on the timeline of these records - Oh, My Heart was my first record I ever made that wasn’t just a Garageband-computer-microphone record, and I feel like that record is special in that there wasn’t a lot of intentionality, I just wanted to make a record and no one was listening then. Thomas Hagen: To you, what are the important differences between your new album The Sun Still Seems To Move and your previous two, I’ll Sing and Oh, My Heart ? Our conversation has been edited for length and clarity. Last week, I spoke with Shannen Moser on the phone about how this whole process felt, and how their new album feels now. Taking their time to build a soundscape that felt true to their story, Moser constructed the record slower than any of their previous work, across different sessions in different cities, with different crews, keeping close to the joy in tight corners between overwork and emotional exhaustion, finally completing their proudest work yet. Emotionally, the album gets brutal as they carry all these challenges at once on their voice, always forward even at a whisper, but roaring-fierce on songs like “Two Eyes.” Overwhelming, overlapping feelings of pain and freedom clang like bells at the autumn album’s astonishing peaks.Īccording to Moser, this music was a joy to record over the last two years with their longtime engineer Alex Melendez and their whole crew of longtime friends who supplied strings, clarinet, slide guitar. The Sun Still Seems To Move, out today, is a record of Moser’s last four years living between Philadelphia and Berks County, PA while caring for their family, confronting their hometown, remembering good friends and moving the past into the past. Like most of the photo-book services today, lay flat pages are also available for an extra $2-$3 a sheet.Shannen Moser’s most disarming songs deal with acute feelings and fraught experiences over and over again - dread, heartbreak, longing, reconciliation - and their new album bares all those feelings more tenderly than ever. The 8.5-inch-by-11-inch photo book is $49 the cost goes up after that in 1-page increments up to 100 pages. If the traditionalist in you just can’t stand the idea of not having the physical prints present in your album, but you still want to save time, Kolo can load a photo album with prints for you. ![]() The designing process, as well as the layouts, was fairly simple and nicely highlight photos as the starring element. Should I come across additional photos from an event, or should a page become ripped or stained, I can easily order more pages. My favorite part about the photo book option, MyKolo, is that the finished products are expandable. All cover colors are complementary and all book sizes are designed to be part of a memory system-stack books in one of the company’s boxes to make a shelf of albums look orderly. Kolo produces top-quality products from Connecticut, using linen, paper, or leather covers and archival paper that’s made to a proprietary recipe. The price may seem high, but it accounts for a cloth spine (in one of five subdued colors) and quality, lay-flat paper-all options that would be upgrades from the competition’s basic prices. Pinhole Press’s popular Panoramic Photobook in a modern or classic style is a hardcover, 8¾-inch-by-8¾-inch book and costs $84.99 for 60 pages. The photo quality was good and the paper in a thickness that will stand up to repeated story times. I customized the Mini Storybook of Names and Faces to help my son learn the names of our relatives. Pinhole Press also offers a curated selection of craft-inspired products: reusable wall decals, recipe magnets, cookbooks, magnetic calendars, day planners, memory games, flash cards, and more. The software is just as simple as the book designs-though there’s no ability to fix photo flaws or quality-making it the perfect service for showcasing your professional wedding or newborn photos. The books at Pinhole Press are elegant, contemporary, and put the emphasis where it belongs: the photos. A hardcover 8-inch-by-10-inch book with an image-wrap cover costs $31.99 for 20 pages, and then $0.40 for each additional page max of 440 pages with standard paper and 240 for heavier paper. Bonus: Connect Blurb to your Instagram or Facebook account to make an even quicker book. The company claims that you can make a book in as little as one to two hours, but if you’re like us, once you get started you may not want to stop. Additional features-organize photos on the photobar by date or filename or a custom sorting, see only the photos not already placed, flip a layout to be right or left-handed-were things we found ourselves wishing for when testing out the competition.
