This is Pollards Wings At The Speed Of Sound album in that he let each band member write two songs each. This is THE best GBV in a while! Im a huge fan and have liked all the other post break-up albums, however this to me is truly the best of that lot. A nice refreshing listen to satisfy your 70's folk rock needs- Bill However think more Tim Buckley than the Eagles. All of these little folk rock gems were blasting on the radio down under while we were listening to the smooth and not so smooth sounds of LA. This is a fantastic view into a parallel world of the 70's from Australia! These are bands that I've never heard of before. After your ears are bleeding from "More Than Enough" and the title track, he calms us down with a non-ironic cover of Merle's "Silver Wings".This album reminds me of the first time i heard Husker Du's Zen Arcade or Dinosaur Jr's Your Living All Over Me for the first time! yes ITS THAT GOOD! the songs have the intensity, integrity, grit, melody and just plain 'ol rock and roll that we need in contemporary music.AND the Dead C is on the same lable so you need this! - Bill This is my album of the year for sure! This dude is a guitar and vocal monster! Very intense and melodic at the same time. A lazy comparison might be kind of a 90's landscape, at times K Records, other times any cool female vocals from the underground you liked.or like! "The War At Home" and "Life Lesson #1" are highlights for me, but i like the whole thing. These songs are smart, punchy, and catchy. Local band Autumn Fakes debut album arrives in 2018 with good news from a parallel world. great stuff! - BillĪutumn Fakes - A Sequence Of Cheers For Cause & Effect Imagine David Yows vocals on Neil Youngs Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere guitar breaks. is definitely a continuation of his guitar dominated journey. This new album does NOT disappoint! Although not as riff-heavy as last years near perfect Negative Boogie, Peaced. A photo homage of her in a scene from Blade Runner in the liner notes gives you an idea of where her heads at right now! - Billĭavid Nance - Peaced & Slightly Pulverized She is a master of minimal wave beats with her talk-singy style. "Work It" is the dance hit we need for 2018/2019. Marie Davidsons new one is one step closer to her reaching a wider fan base. Kristin Hersh proves her consistency of making great albums once again with this new one.Her unique vocal delivery first heard with Throwing Muses in 1986 has matured but still incredibly original.Underneath the dark production Possible Dust Clouds songs are still melodic and catchy.Worth several listens! - Bill
The band's from Brooklyn, has a Stooges sounding sax, badass rhythms and vocals. OK this came out in 2018, but i first heard it this year so its going on my 2019 top ten list for sure! The opening track alone is worth getting this or listening to. This is both for True Blood fans AND Nosferatu fans. The New Ritual Howls continues the Michigan Goth sound with this awesome 6th release! with Andrew Eldritch style vocals they add to the already consistent sound of creepy keyboard patterns, simple, yet pounding percussion,and subtle moody guitar In fact this one seems a tad bit more danceable than the others and it works! Vampires and other tales of darkness dominate the lyrics without a hint of irony. The other thing noticed is what killer parallel worlds were going on the same time as CSN&Y,America, Seals and Crofts were having hits these private press (some major labels as well) were laying grooves down, think "Chico And The Man" sung by Eeyore.this sad comp puts a smile on your face.! - Bill The first thing noticed on Sad About The Times comp is that its 20 tracks! Thats a lot of mellow sadness from the 70's! This is like sunshine goth! however no black clothes here! all 100% denim.Most of the songs are mellow but there are some great psych rock as well (including Fort Worth's own Space Opera).
