Hat & Beard Press has teamed up withAdam GoldbergofThe Goldberg Sistersfor the release ofHome: A Nice Place to Visit, aphotography bookand 2xLP vinyl set based on Mr. Goldbergs new psych pop album of the same name.
The book will feature Goldbergs photographs paired with lyrics for each track on the record and will feel much like the kind of hand-held object for which Mr. Goldberg has always had an affinity. Each image will be a visual counterpoint for the particular feeling evoked by its companion song. Also included is a transcription of the lyrics opposite each photo as well as an instrumental bonus track that comprises the fourth side of the album, not included in the digital release. Given the diverse aural textures and moods conjured up by the music on the album, its no surprise that the photography is a wonder wheel of optical delights.
Shot on instant film stocks with a variety of medium and large-format cameras, the images are an extension of Mr. Goldbergs lifelong obsession with physically documenting moments in time. Goldberg began to pursue his passion for photography and filmmaking as a teenager, and while he is widely regarded as an extremely versatile actor and filmmaker, music and photographs have played an increasingly prominent role in his creative sphere.

This particular project echoes the years when he would end his nights by pasting Polaroid photographs he had taken throughout the day into a journal. Later, the process evolved into a virtual journal,a Tumblr page found atAdamGoldberg.Tumblr.Comon to which he would upload scanned negatives or instant prints, as well as recordings, many of which are early versions of songs found on his albums.
As to the music,Homeis Goldbergs fourth album asThe Goldberg Sisters,and just as withStrangers Morning, his prior release, Goldberg recorded most of the album in his garage studio, doing the majority of the instrumentation, which was recorded byfrequent collaborator Andrew Lynch (of Nav Attack). With songs like The Kids are Alwrong, Dear Mr. Nilsson, and Meet the Depressed, one gets a real taste for the cosmic and comic sensibilities possessed by this many-talented artist, and lyrically captured onHome.
