Over at Kickstarter, singer-songwriter John Vanderslice has been taking pre-orders and offering a crazy amount of special packages in anticipation of two new self-released albums — Dagger Beach (full of originals, again with Minna Choi’s Magik*Magik Orchestra) and a start-to-finish cover treatment of David Bowie’s Diamond Dogs.

The newest entry into John Vanderslice‘s deep and undeniably remarkable catalog is White Wilderness, and it’s a record like no other he’s made before. It comprises nine new songs captured live over three days in a unique collaboration with the Magik*Magik Orchestra, a collective of classically trained musicians in the Bay Area led by artistic director Minna Choi. Images below are from Vanderslice’s recent show with Damien Jurado at Lincoln Hall in Chicago. Photography by Jon Shaft.
