Album Notes

Spottiswoode, recently described as a “downtown ringleader” by The New Yorker, is an Englishman who has been on the New York scene for the last decade. His songs have been covered and recorded by numerous East Village and Williamsburg musicians, and featured in a variety of mainstream and independent films

Still, Spottiswoode’s proudest accomplishment is the almost decade long personality cult known as Spottiswoode & His Enemies. Somehow Spottiswoode has been able to hold together a group of seven of New York’s finest musicians, put out a string of acclaimed records, perform residencies at New York’s best clubs, play Lincoln Center, tour the country, cross the ocean… even though the rest of the band doesn't even like him. Who are these sad people?

Spottiswoode (guitar, vocals)
John Young (bass)
Tim Vaill (drums)
Candace DeBartolo (sax/clarinet/vocals)
Kevin Cordt (trumpet/violin/vocals)
Riley McMahon (guitar/mandolin/glockenspiel)
Tony Lauria (accordion/piano/organ)

With “That’s What I Like” the wannabe playboy takes his Enemies on a drunken holiday to the Mediterranean. The result? A cocktail of hedonism, romance and heartbroken philosophy. A pop/rock confection deliciously produced by Enemy #5, Riley McMahon.

That's What I Like
author: James Hartman
                            
Found this one first, then listened to Salvation. Both are excellent, although different. This one is a little heavier, hotter, and coarser. Spottiswoode sounds like no one else.

I like it too
author: John Campbell
                            
Wry humor standing on a foundation of melancholia. A musical trip on the Orient Express- the Enemies give their expression of cafe musette style to the Turkish musical entrepot... some of the best integration of eastern sounds into western songs. The lyrics seem more intensely personal than previous outings... and shed light on why the band hates Spotty... Who could like a guy who makes his girlfriend pay to see his show?

It's playful & artistic but still manages to be wonderfully musical. There's not a bad track on this CD.

I worship at the altar of Spottiswoode & his Enemies, play this CD over and over, and still can't get enough! I highly recommend this mixture of witty, personal, keenly observed and brilliantly crafted oddities, with a kickass sense of rhythm, a great sense of humor, and a truly big heart. Long live this band!!!
