about

In "A Day Behind the Deadline", Eli Winter re-frames himself in widescreen. On his first live album for Three Lobed Recordings, Winter collects 5 songs from 5 performances in 3 cities, in 4 different venues, in almost as many years. From 2019 to the present, Winter collects and, now, mails these musical postcards to remind us what we’re missing. He isn’t so much reinterpreting his acoustic performances from his self-titled album and his debut, "The Time To Come", as much as he is ushering in new voices to amplify his. Whereas his first album introduced him as a practitioner from the woodier world of Windham Hill, this live album serves as a document, both electric and acoustic, that incites dancing or foot-stomping similar to Toumani Diabate, a minimalist version of Santana, or a post-rock Contra dance band.

Winter plays mostly electric guitar here, and he is joined by Sam Wagster (Mute Duo) on pedal steel guitar and Tyler Damon (Kuzu) on drums. Together, they lean into the benefits of a tight, musical three-piece: intense dynamics, the ability to listen and respond to each other in real time, allowing for just enough space between the beats to breathe life into room’s sound. Wagster, also a film composer, and Damon, who has played with Tashi Dorji, Circuit des Yeux, and Joshua Abrams, use the experiences and history of their discography to give Winter’s tunes a greater sense of drama, extending rhythms and notes that nudge us to the front of our seats, like the soundtrack to "Paris, Texas" on amphetamines.

With Wagster and Damon adding their voices to the conversations that Winter started, the trio continues in the tradition of other Chicago musicians, Winter’s adopted hometown, that skirt genre and demand hyphens for description, like John Klemmer or Tortoise. We hear this the most on “Dayenu,” from Winter’s self-titled 2022 studio album. Here, they extend the suite of the song by almost a minute, and though we miss jaimie branch’s flugelhorn from the studio version, we’re left hearing a new emotional hole where it belongs.

It’s only on the album’s final track, "The Time to Come", that Winter stands on the stage alone with an acoustic guitar. As he compresses the last strum, we hear him announce, in an exhausted sense of accomplishment, “Thank you, that’s it,” like he’s given enough. A signpost, perhaps, that points to where he started or where, like all of us, he’ll end up. On "A Day Behind the Deadline", Winter sounds right on time.
