It is a different run from the Periwave pressing that Hi-Tide Recordings sells through its own store, which is limited to 200.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlowey After Dark is the fifth LP from Slowey and the Boats, the Philadelphia quintet that Hi-Tide describes as blending Hawaiian steel guitar with after-hours jazz. The group came together behind steel guitarist Isaac Stanford in early 2012, with David Streim on Wurlitzer or Fender Rhodes, Mike Hlatky on upright bass, Fred Berman on drums and Brennen Ernst on guitar. The band keeps a long-running residency at Dawson Street Pub in Philadelphia, hosting an afternoon barbecue there one Sunday a month, and the label's notes set this album in that corner bar at Cresson and Dawson Streets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanford told The Pop Break that \"the concept came together in the studio.\" He was reading Havana Nocturne, a book about the Havana nightclub scene of the 1940s and '50s, and \"there ended up being five Cuban composers that we have songs from on the record.\" The sessions also brought in hand drums, which Stanford called \"a different sound\" for the band. Alongside the Cuban material sit two American standards: \"The Continental,\" the Con Conrad and Herb Magidson song from The Gay Divorcee (1934) that was the first winner of the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and \"Bali Ha'i\" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific (1949).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover is by the California artist Chris Wilkinson, who worked from a mood board of Xavier Cugat records; Stanford said the band took a few arrangements from those same records. All twelve titles are printed across the front of the jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLa Tarde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlor de Yumuri\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Continental\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden Earrings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrchids in the Moonlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLagrimas Negras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBali Ha'i\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlor de Ennui\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLa Paloma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBodas de Oro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLongina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo You Sweetheart, Aloha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e*** Indie Exclusive ***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 709388075937\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hi-tide Recordings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.18.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Hi-tide Recordings","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48226553495710,"sku":"709388075937","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/Slowey-After-Dark-Saltwater-Crop.png?v=1790024661","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/slowey-the-boats-slowey-after-dark-saltwater-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
