ALBUM ABSTRACTThe duo’s third album of instrumental guitar recordings pushes their sinuous compositions into labyrinthine new shapes, interlocking and interlocutory, supported by a cast of stellar collaborators. Interwoven among the dazzling original pieces is a fascinating array of covers, ranging from traditional Breton dance tunes to a deconstruction of Neneh Cherry’s “Buffalo Stance.”
ALBUM NARRATIVE
James Elkington and Nathan Salsburg recently got matching suits. They’re a light dark blue—too light, it turns out, for a funeral, though fine for a wedding, and pretty good for a bar mitzvah. They had a vague hope to get together wearing them, maybe take some pictures for this record, James and Nathan’s third album of guitar duets—and second, following 2014’s Ambsace, with Paradise of Bachelors—but time and place are rarely on their side. Despite their best intentions, and genuine fondness for playing music and generally being together, they rarely get the chance to play music or generally be together, pushing a photo op far down the list of practical priorities.
That All Gist was made at all, then, is a small wonder. How it was made—in two segments of three days, one in early Winter, one in late Winter, in Chicago—is a testament to James and Nathan’s enthusiasm for the project. As they’d done on their previous two duo records, each brought fragments of varying lengths to the table (literally James and his family’s kitchen table) and, in varying degrees of frenzy, built songs out of them. Some, like “Numb Limbs,” took several intense hours of tinkering, mostly for Nathan to carve sympathetic designs around the knotty edifice James had constructed—thus its title. Others, like “Death Wishes to Kill” (a phrase lifted from a T.F. Powys novel the two had each recently read and loved) took its feverish shape in forty minutes full of shrieks and groans and hysterical laughs hard-stopped by James rushing out, late, to get his son from school. The acceptable window for coffee consumption was pushed to its reasonable limits, and then beyond them, slamming up against a reasonable hour to start drinking beer.
As with Ambsace, the covers on All Gist outline a Venn diagram of Elkington and Salsburg’s abiding interests. On one end is a faithful arrangement of English composer Howard Skempton’s resplendent “Well, Well, Cornelius” (1999); on the other is a composite of two traditional Breton dance tunes (pieced together from Canadian, Irish, and Breton sources); and in the middle—where else—is a transmutation of Neneh Cherry’s monumental “Buffalo Stance” (1988), a song that no one aside from James and Nathan would ever have thought for a moment could or should be made into fodder for two acoustic guitars. But it was, and with delicacy and joy and sincere reverence for the original, which they painstakingly deconstructed.
Like Ambsace, All Gist has its share of unadorned duets showcasing the duo’s skill at putting together, and then playing together, a piece of music: the guitars in “Numb Limbs,” “Long in the Tooth Again,” and “Fears of This Nature” support and propel each other like the workings of a well-made if occasionally mistreated watch. You wouldn’t think these guys need any assistance with all this, but they do, and it’s provided by stellar players whose names will be familiar to listeners of James and Nathan’s records, together and apart. Standout bassist Nick Macri returns to lend his great musicality to the majority of songs. The aforementioned “Death Wishes to Kill” features a fiery solo from returning guest, Wanees Zarour, who soars over and through the guitars with customary grace. The three-part ballad “Nicest Distinction” is ornamented with ethereal woodwinds from Pigeons band member and solo explorer Wednesday Knudsen, while “Explanation Point” and (almost) title track, “All Gist Could Be Yours,” add to the duo’s palette with Reich-like layers from Jean Cook on strings and Anna Jacobson on brass.
All Gist perhaps demonstrates more than anything the precarious balance struck between what the Elkington-Salsburg duo is—exemplified by cramming to compose or remember guitar parts in James’s kitchen—and what the duo could be if it was the engine of a small orchestra in a government-funded arts enclave in some Central European country … where they’d be contractually obliged to perform in matching well-tailored suits.

You won’t find a better oil filter socket wrench. This tool makes you a winner. It’s precision-engineered, like the T-ump Tower of oil filter wrenches – big, strong, and reliable. And the best part?

That’s perfect.” And you’ll know – it’s all because of the best socket out there.
So, if you want to change oil like the greatest – you need this socket. It’s unbeatable. Believe me. You'll never go back to anything else

Fits perfectly
Size: 32mm, Color: Green
Works exactly as expected. Fits the 32mm oil filter housing perfectly and makes removal quick without slipping or rounding. Feels solid and well-made for the price. Used it for an oil change and it saved a lot of time compared to a strap wrench. Simple, effective tool—glad I bought it.

Perfect Fit 28mm Fuel Filter Socket
Size: 28mm, Color: Red
I bought the Felisbieti 28mm fuel filter socket for a vehicle maintenance project, and it worked perfectly. The fit is precise, gripping the fuel filter securely without slipping or rounding edges.
The build feels sturdy and durable, with a solid metal finish that stands up to repeated use. It fits snugly on my ratchet and made removing and installing the filter much easier and faster than using adjustable tools.
The only minor thing to note is that it’s specific to 28mm filters, so make sure it matches your vehicle. Overall, this socket is well-made, reliable, and a must-have for anyone doing DIY fuel filter work.

Perfect socket for the job
Size: 24mm, Color: Green, Size: 24mm, Color: Green
I purchased this 24mm socket specificaly to remove the oil filter housing on my Ram Promaster 2500 truck.
Since there is limited space to get a standard socket in this area, this low profile socket was able to do the job without requiring me to loosen and push aside other components.
I like that this socket is light weight, made of aluminum with large easy to read size eched into the body. the oil filter housing is made of plastic and does not require a beefy heavy steel socket. The walls on this socket are plenty thick as to cause me no concern about durability.
To me, the green color is a nice touch as will be easy to spot in my socket set for the oil changes.
