ALTROK Ordinals 22
The Be Good Tanyas - Blue Horse (Nettwerk America)
Jeff says: A mixture of deep country, early American folk, old-tyme jazz, blues,
gospel and folk. Their sound is original and insightful, yet evocative of a
bygone era. With stunning vocals and seamless harmonies, combined with
gorgeous acoustic instrumentation, the texture of the music remains warm,
honest, and capitivating.
Landspeedrecord! & Prosolar Mechanics - Urban Development Series, Vol. 4 (ambiguous CITY!)
Your Diva says: Split CD by Baltimore's prickly Landspeedrecord! and New Brunswick/
Highland Park's Prosolar Mechanics opens with a scary visit to a
friend "resting comfortably" in an asylum. Landspeedrecord! tells
quick, complex stories over jangly guitars and dreamy mechanical
noise; boiling emotion in an industrial world. Prosolar Mechanics's
raging guitars, thunderous drums and Amy's soft voice suggest evil
moving through shadows, everyday violence one should've seen coming.
Gorgeous, unnerving nightmares and difficult truth throughout.
On ambiguous CITY! records, www.ambiguouscity.com.
Kevin Salem - Ecstatic (Future Farmer)
Jeff says: Many years ago Kevin was in the legendary 80’s college rock indie band
DUMPTRUCK. This is his 3rd album since ’94. Noted guitar slinger for hire,
he’s worked with Freedy Johnston, Madder Rose, Todd Thibaud, and many others.
