Jenn Rawling & Basho Parks continue to tour in support of their debut

Jenn Rawling, ace songstress and vintage American folk and old-time country singer, joins masterful string player & harmony singer Basho Parks in a partnership of formidable musical talent and palpable sympathy. Their music marries musical and lyrical imagery, with repetitive figures that subtly shift accent and meaning like sunlight gleaming from a stream. The result is an emotionally rich recording which unfolds more gifts with each listen.  There’s a flowing…

There is a significant amount of cohesion from this initial track to Zebulon.

Sound the Alarm – S/T EP (CD)

  The band starts off in a tremendously emotive vein of instrumental rock that subsides only a slight bit when the vocals kick in on “Fools and Thieves”. What really will strike listeners first is the interesting arrangements that Sound the Alarm create in tying their listeners down. There are at one time two conflicting elements in Sound the Alarm’s music; first off, there is an insistence by the vocals…

Sounds Like Violence – The Pistol (CD)

  Never content to fit in with normal time signatures or outlooks on how a singer is supposed to sound, Sweden’s Sounds Like Violence make a masterpiece that encompasses the entire world in a scant six tracks. The piece is the chaos-in-a-snowglobe sound of the penultimate track on the EP, “Afasi”. Whether it is the acidic, blade-sharp guitar lines or the warbling, soulseeking vocals of Andreas, “Afasi” is the perfect…

Snarling Badger (Berliner Weisse)

  Snarling Badger is a “Berliner Weisse” in Grand Teton’s Cellar Reserve Series. The yellow / orange initial pour opens up to a thick white head. The beer itself straddles the line between fruit and wheat, with a little bit of peach and lemon to be had at the nose. The decision to place the ABV at 7.5% allows for a much more complex beer than many of its ilk.…

The Sounds – Dying To Say This To You (CD)

  Mix together the Sahara Hotnights, The Veronicas, “La La”-style Ashlee Simpson and The Donnas and individuals will have the beginning of an idea about what The Sounds sound like. Each track on “Dying To Say This To You” could easily be transferred to radio, even though the arrangements that couch tracks like “Queen of Apology” are nothing less than inspired. The infusion of such a heavy synthesizer line to…

Deep Purple – Total Abandon Australia ’99 (CD)

Total Abandon Australia ’99 is a stellar live recording of Deep Purple. The live recording seems like a greatest hits, as the band authoritatively ends with Smoke on the Water and Highway Star. The crowd is raucous but adds considerably to the overall authoritas of the performance. The band sounds larger than life, while the amount of time that they have spent on the road by 1999 makes these tracks…

Soulwax – Nite Versions (CD)

  I like how “Teachers” starts out, but having a listing of bands as a track just does not work. The only way that a song of listed items works is if the act cuts it off early, as is the case with Radiohead’s “Fitter Happier”. This is not what happens with Soulwax’s “Teachers”, as the track ends at the two and a half minute mark. There is too little…

Soular – Love Crash Heal (CD)

  The title track starts off Soular’s “Love Crash Heal”, and the overall sound achieved by the band here is something that blends together Interpol, U2, and more than their fair share of John Maher. As can be expected, there is a tremendous amount of radio-friendly atmosphere present to “Love Crash Heal”. “So, This Is The Way It Feels” has a harder edge to it, but the vocals are still…

So They Say – Antidote For Irony (CD)

  So They Say has been on tour with Amber Pacific, and it seems as if the vocal stylings of Amber Pacific have been recreated with some success during “Antidote For Irony”. The slightly-nasal, melodramatic (in a good way) vocals take center stage during “In Loving Memory Of…”, and only have competition with the strings that pop up during the track. Each of the cuts from “Antidote For Irony” is…
