Sam Gendel and Antonia Cytrynowicz - LIVE A LITTLE (Sky Blue LP)Sam Gendel and Antonia Cytrynowicz didnt set out to make a record it just happened. LIVE A LITTLE, a collection of songs resulting from one late summer afternoon in Gendels Los Angeles home, is less an album and more a moment. The ten tracks here were recorded mostly in one sitting, fully improvised, in the order in which they appear. It was the first and last time the songs have been played a snapshot of an idea, an artifact of inspiration, at once

a welcome reprieve from the plangent drone of its predecessor

improvising

a song that simply loaded into his head at the moment

He serves now as the pulse beneath the plaintive Americana of Mandolin Orange and Daughter of Swords and

middle age

He’d even played them all during two outdoor concerts in Richmond

It also owes to Aaron Efird

For what it’s worth

to just do something for our hearts

Just for us

always serving a collective vision

Mac DeMarco
