Devastations
Devastations
2008
The debut album from Devastations is full of understated emotion, veiled menace, and a distinct flair for creating a romantic mood.
CD: $13.00
Doveman
With My Left Hand I Raise the Dead
2007
A collection of nine romantic piano-led songs and seven dreamy mini-symphonies of ambient sound. Like listening to ghosts on the shortwave radio. An ebbing then swelling, oceanic thing, it comes than goes; tickles your ears then pokes you in the ribs.
CD: $13.00
Clogs
Lantern
2006
Lovely and unique combination of electric guitar, strings, percussion, and bassoon -- now with melodica, mandola, and ukulele. Circular, complex.
CD: $13.00
Baby Dayliner
Critics Pass Away
2006
"A retro romo romp through a New York ghost world that is neither the drainpipe-and-denim sweat pile of CBGBs nor the mirrorball glitz of Studio 54 but somewhere in between."-Uncut
CD: $13.00
Devastations
Coal
2006
Full of slow-burning songs that are black, broody and seductive. The dark imagery of drowning men and the redemptive power of love are leavened by a dry humor and a sexy swagger.
CD: $13.00
Pela
All in Time
2005
One writer opined that this quartet from the Red Hook section of Brooklyn "recalls what might happen if Modest Mouse hitched a ride on U2's wide-horizon rock'n'roll tour bus." Yup.
CD: $8.00
Clogs
Stick Music
2004
A deep exploration of strings that are bowed, struck, plucked, and treated. The result is intimate, melodic, gorgeous.
CD: $13.00
The National
Cherry Tree
2004
More smouldering, tension wire rock.
CD: $9.00
