Cocoon of Love, September 29th on Kanine Records.

Instead, the songsmiths went on to individually release some of rock music’s…
“Their eagerness to stock the toolkit with the language of modern R&B, funk, marching band, gospel, etc. — whether a clipped-snare break-beat, a melody processed through voice manipulation, or a greasy synth pad — meshes naturally with their abilities to arrange and improvise in the jazz idiom.†–Patrick Jarenwattananon, NPR Blog Supreme “Vibraphonist Stefon Harris’ new CD is just the coolest Stevie Wonder album never made. It projects a sly…

Although production on the first two Knaughty Knights releases were insanely lo-fi compared to the later two, it was the third 7″ EP on Goner released in late 2005 with Crook’s epic “Death Has Come Over Me” and “Wenches of Turpentine St.” that were the shining examples of the second coming of Rich Crook, the singer, guitarist and songwriter extraordinaire. These songs possessed the stark simplicity that so many great…

Green Carnation – this Norwegian band has created songs from both progressive rock and progressive metal genres. The band’s music was continuously losing its heaviness with each release – from straight forward death metal, doom metal/progressive metal, to a more hard rock-sounding form of progressive rock and in 2006 went as far as to an entirely acoustic album. Metal Mind Productions presents a remastered recording of the band’s great show…
