Listening Post Features for March
Listen up at our Posts
Black Crowes-Warpaint-Silver Arrow
The Black Crowes have been called "The Most Rock n'
Roll Rock n' Roll band in the world". Warpaint is the
band's first album of all-new studio material in seven
years. "For nostalgia-leaning fans of Classic Rock
radio, the band is a singular breath of fresh air - long-
haired, beer-soaked, their t's have earned the 'vintage'
status. Amidst the sweep of today's production,
posturing, and the snivel-centric scope of oh so much
of Indie-rock, the Crowes remain a rarity - their
genuine, hard-won grit and down-home soul
continues to stand in welcome, stark contrast." -Todd
Lazarski, All Headline News
Kathleen Edwards-Asking for Flowers
Ms. Edwards details the strife in songs that pare
situations down to a few dozen words while they push
country-rock toward its primal impulses of thump and
twang. She sings them in a voice that defies its own
sweetness with wavery, rasping attacks or a
deliberate turn away from the expected note. She's a
scrapper through and through. -Jon Pareles, The
New
York Times
-one of the most promising new singer-songwriters in
North American music. -Peter Blackstock, No
Depression
The guitar slinging Canuck puts her stamp on the
Outlaw Country tradition. -Wes Orshoski,
Paste
Gary Louris-Vagabonds
As singer, guitarist and songwriter of the Jayhawks,
Gary Louris built a deeply compelling body of music
whose artistry and integrity won the loyalty of an
international audience and the respect of both critics
and his peers. With Vagabonds, Louris
launches his
solo career on a high note, delivering a deeply felt,
exquisitely-crafted set that features some of his most
evocative and personally-charged work to date. The
album was produced by Chris Robinson (Black
Crowes) who also lends his vocal chops in the
surging vocal chorus along with Jenny Lewis (Rilo
Kiley) and Susanna Hoffs. Thom Monahan (Devendra
Banhart, Matt Pond PA, Pernice Brothers) engineered
and co-produced the album and it was mixed by Jim
Scott, who
most
recently worked on Wilco's "Sky Blue Sky."
Born Ruffians-Red, Yellow and Blue
Produced by Rusty Santos, the New York
mixer behind
Animal Collective and Panda Bear's albums, this
record exemplifies the Born Ruffians' brand of self-
described 'hootin and hollarin'. From start to finish it's
a good time, and you can tell the band knows it.
Goldfrapp-Seventh Tree
Seventh Tree shimmers and shines with the warmth
of a hazy summer, an electric whirlpool of sound over
which singer Alison Goldfrapp's glistening voice
soars. Seventh Tree is written by Alison Goldfrapp and
Will Gregory and was recorded at their own studio
deep in the English countryside.
