Somehow this slipped right past in me in 2019 but Mellotron Variations is a collaborative undertaking from Pat Sansone (Wilco), John Medeski, Jonathan Kirkscey and Robby Grant performing original, cinematic, compositions on the mellotron. It's right there in the name!

The record is on pink vinyl and streaming in all the usual spots. Moreso, there's also plenty of video to augment your enjoyment. This Crosstown Arts trailer is a really impressive setup and explanation of the project. It's a nice place to start but this Tiny Desk Concert is just fantastic. Different vibes but both enjoyable. If you want a little bit more, watch the OZ Arts show where they open with my favorite track from the record.
