Young\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e relocated from San Francisco to New York City in the late ‘70s to engage in the downtown avant-garde scene and began introducing electronic and dance elements into his production. \u003cem\u003eHearsay I-Land\u003c\/em\u003e is a result of that era, compiling the 1984 \u003cem\u003eLand\u003c\/em\u003e 12\" in its entirety with a majority of the 1987 \u003cem\u003eHearsay Evidence\u003c\/em\u003e LP, both of which were primarily recorded in his bedroom in the Kips Bay neighborhood of Manhattan. Feature track “Balla-Ballo” is a downtempo dance classic with hard-hitting 808s and his wife Risa providing vocals. Roland sings on the rest of the album--his lyricism is both honest and humorous. While not exactly a traditional vocalist, there’s a certain charm to his proto-bedroom-pop ethos and his eagerness to push his musical boundaries. 9 tracks on black vinyl with a tip-on jacket and insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack vinyl pressing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehoused in old school tip-on sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes printed insert w\/ liner notes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efirst time on vinyl since 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Grand Royal 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by SHH! 08\/2021\u003c\/h6\u003e.","brand":"Roland P.
