Tracked & Covered: Megafaun’s Phil Cook To Release Sophomore LP Through Trekky

Trekky Records, the little label responsible for some of the Triangle’s best locally produced albums, announced today that is will release the sophomore album from Phil Cook & His Feat.

The Megafaun vocalist and multi-instrumentalist will release Hungry Mother Blues May 10 in Trekky’s three-part vinyl package, which also includes the CD and digital download.

Trekky says it has long wanted to work with Phil and Megafaun, but since the band already had a home with Hometapes, the label never had the opportunity until now to work with the band.

“When Phil started recording and performing as Phil Cook & His Feat, both parties saw the opportunity to collaborate,” Trekky co-found Will Hackney explained. “Phil asked us to release his new record, Hungry Mother Blues and we replied with a breathless ‘Yes.’”

The follow-up to Phil’s 2009 self-titled album, the instrumental Hungry Mother Blues was recorded in a single day in the back room of his house during an ice storm.

“It’s a beautiful, completely instrumental album that showcases what Phil does best: playing unbelievably complex songs with so much soul that they sound effortless,” the label said.

The vinyl record will be pressed at 45RPM and features a record jacket with original art from Catherine Edgerton of Midtown Dickens.

Phil’s debut album is available as a free download from his Bandcamp page.
