March 23, 2023 – Gray May Day is the sophomore album of guitarist Max Hatt and vocalist Edda Glass, co-produced by Patrick Sansone of Wilco and Autumn Defense. A music video of “Gray May Day,” directed by Rachel Lichtman and co-produced by Patrick Sansone, will also be featured in Lichtman’s upcoming televisionary multiverse of Programme 4, an independent, audio/visual world of tomorrow, to be released Spring 2023. The single and the May 1st release of Gray May Day are Bandcamp-exclusives— get the single and pre-order Gray May Day here.
The album Gray May Day also features legendary bass virtuoso Clipper Anderson, and the highly versatile Mark Ivester on drums. It was recorded at David Lange Studios near Seattle, with additional recording by Patrick Sansone at Tiny Door Studio in Nashville, and mastering by Nomatic Studios in Asheville, North Carolina. The track list primarily consists of original compositions by Hatt and Glass but also includes two undeniably original interpretations, “Taste of Honey” and “I’m On the Verge,” Glass’s authorized lyrical version of Steve Swallow’s “Falling Grace.”
Max Hatt / Edda Glass’s award-winning original music has taken them across the country from NPR and PBS to New York City’s Lincoln Center, D.C.’s Kennedy Center, and the Sundance Film Festival. New York Theatre Guide calls Glass’s voice “one of a kind...you cannot confuse her with another artist,” while Hatt's guitar work has “an incomparable spook” according to Nashville Scene. Hailed as “unique,” “evocative,” “mesmerizing,” “haunting,” “ethereal,” “cinematic,” not to mention “elegantly funky,” the combined effect of Max Hatt / Edda Glass is a swoon-inducing soundscape that “creates a vastness within its quiet,” making “one feel both lost and found, all at once.”
Gray May Day follows the critically acclaimed Ocean of Birds, an album of original music released by Newsong Recordings in 2016, recently re-released on vinyl in memoriam of Josh Shapera, co-producer along with Patrick Sansone.
