why we love this

Cowboys shoot from the hip in a dusty town, sheriffs tip their hats off to townsfolk, and sleepy cowhands rise to meet the sun. Knowler’s exposition paints the desert as a cinematic archetype, dwarfing both heroes and villains alike. With the nimble rhythm of flatfoot dances, this arid expanse comes to life.

about the record

Responding to a comment that the foreground of his Western photographs feels like a stage set, the photographer and auteur Wim Wenders suggests, “that impression is basic to the American West. Everything people have built there has a highly theatrical air.” This animates Places of Consequence, the second album and first solo LP from Cameron Knowler, which deploys guitar and banjo as cinematic tools to soundtrack and investigate the region. “Despite the fact that the lightheartedness of youth lifts and the problematic components of the West reveal themselves over time,” Knowler says, “there are still ways of harnessing the space to richly creative ends.”
