Kristin Mueller

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4The music above is from a project under my name and under the name Ports of Call and was recorded in my home studio with the talented help of my friends (engineer/producer) Richard Morris and (engineer/producer/mixer) Christian Hanlon and was mastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound in New York City.Players on this album include folks who have recorded/toured with the likes of Wilco, Beth Orton and Mercury Rev - Karen Waltuch on viola (the Roulette Sisters), Gerald Menke on pedal steel, Brian Kanter on drums (Higgins) and Harrison Cannon on Bass (Mshanghai String Band).Press:"Mueller's fabulous songs vibe Cowboy Junkies and Calexico - with a beautiful voice and delicate thoughtful instrumentation, she invokes intimacy and elegance. Dig that banjo."- Village Voice"... there's promise here: [the] songs take their sweet old time to unfurl, and the sparse instrumentation works behind Mueller's steady vocals."- Time Out - NYHere's what online reviewers are saying about the album -"a remarkably sparse, but intimately beautiful debut" - screamingbloodymess.com"an unequivocal triumph, a debut record that fills the listener with delight" - lostwriters.netI'm also a member of a duo with Austin Hughes from Mshanghai String band called the Poor Things. This music intertwines our gentle collective work. We're in the midst of recording an album of this that we hope to release sometime soon.In addition, I'm also a member of and play drums in support for various NYC bands: Hidden Driveways, Gloria Deluxe, The Caulfield Sisters, Lucinda Black Bear and Clare Burson.
