Any admirer of the voluminous work of Sean McCann must wonder how he has yet to be touched by an indie label. Signs of a shifting philosophy continue to grip valiant indies such as Thrill Jockey and Drag City; labels willing to bank on the originality of a musician and the integrity of craft just as often as they are to place coinage down on the bankable income of an artist. Perhaps McCann’s hefty catalog is a bit off-putting for those hoping to turn a back catalog into a relaunch–whatever the excuse, it’s now McCann’s world and we are merely his players.

Whether you’ve been on the Sean McCann ride through the numerous labels (Stunned, DNT, Digitalis) who happily release his output (on top of his own Roll Over Rover, which houses plenty of his material) or you’re new to Sean McCann, you’re bound to be drawn to his versatility and talent. From ambient to acoustic to Appalachian, there’s a sound in McCann that will connect to your particular standards and interests.

In case this proves your first meeting, say hello to McCann’s ambient tones, accompanied by his equally adept visuals. “Over the Stars,” is the first introduction to McCann’s upcoming album, Sincere World, to be released via Amethyst Sunset in the near future. The track captures the elegance and ease of McCann’s work, with minimal visuals that mimic the rhythmic flow of his compositions. McCann is a chameleon but his strongest work often occurs in meditative swatch. Let “Over the Stars” take you to a place of comfort and contemplation you have yet to visit. Let Sean McCann take you to these splendorous heights time and time again.
