The Friend Who Knows - A Tribute To The Music Of Floating Action LP

What some of the artists have to say:

"there's just nothing quite like floating action music. it's the easiest to love music that i think i've ever heard. so present and so deep and so fun and such feel and so free! for the heart and body in equal measure. maximum inspiration." - Scott McMicken

“I immediately fell in love with Seth’s recording style when a boyfriend had shown me Floating Action in 2012. Something about the way every instrument sounded weathered in the sun like a hot summer day after a long time of walking aimlessly. I was new to the community in Asheville at that time but over the years I would get to know him and his wife and later got up the nerve to invite him to play some guitar on my album, My Woman. You can really hear Seth’s influence on my music on that record especially on songs like “Those were the days” or “Heart Shaped Face” - Angel Olsen

"whenever i need a blast of emotional weirdness full of dirty funk and soul....that tastes organic and pure, yet deep fried in delicious stark raving madness....i turn to the healing sounds of seth kauffman's floating action brand musics." - Jim James

“Seth’s records are never far from the turntable in our house, we probably listen to Floating Action more than any other artist. The music is so fun, yet profound for deep dives, and just sounds so great — inventive arrangements and classic playing that is all somehow thoughtful and carefree at the same time. One morning in late 2020 after listening to “Outsider Art” for the third time in a row, I thought, “There are so many great musicians who love Seth’s music as much as I do… We gotta do a tribute album.” Everyone I asked about it was psyched, and it slowly took shape over the following months, with one amazing track after another rolling in. Working on this album has been a source of pure joy. We hope you love it." - Daniel Martin Moore
