Chris
Pellnat is a songwriter from Hudson, NY, USA. Chris does the
singer-songwriter thing his own way. using amalgamations of sound such as
dulcimer, vibraphone and retro synth to build unique, melodic songs. His
music is a bit off-kilter and veers into surprising directions. His song
craft rests on strong melody and lyrics that, even when dealing with serious
topics, sometimes have an element of playful cleverness. In addition to solo
work, also plays electric guitar in the band, The Warp/The Weft and is 1/2
of the duo, Teeniest.
About the Album
"Cairn" is primarily a singer-songwriter album, but in addition to acoustic
songs there are a variety of synthdrenched tunes and you'll hear lots of
clarinet, accordion, vibraphone and dulcimer as well. A cairn is a stacking
of rocks meant to signify something, generally a positive message of
presence or safety. The album cover is a photo taken on the coast of
Portland, Maine.

About the Album
"Go" is Chris Pellnat's fifth solo album. It's singer-songwriter music but
incorporates unusual instrumentation including vibraphone, clarinet and
dulcimer.
His music is a bit off-kilter and veers into surprising directions. His song
craft rests on strong melody and lyrics that, even when dealing with serious
topics, sometimes have an element of playful cleverness. Some of his songs
are expansive and elating, dealing with the big questions of life, love,
spirituality and fate. Others come off as light novelty songs. But whether
silly or sublime, a common thread runs through all of his work - he seeks to
create something honest and true in the only way an artist can: through
artifice.
