matthew stark rubin Reviewed 2006-03-04 | ||
jana hunter- blank unstaring heirs of doom (revolver). ms rubin 3/6 FCCok spook folk. Wily breathy fem vox over sparse, morose arrangements. Singing is the central ingredient here- you either like it or your don’t. But if you like Cat Power, Scout Niblett, Bjork, or Joanna Newsom’s singing, you’ll likely like this. Definitely for fans of the Devendra/Vetiver scene. My picks: 1, 4, 6!!, 11!, 13 1- Slow and dreamy. Vocals distort a bunch, and it sounds awesome. 2- Gloomy acoustic picking with mumbly vox. Beautiful fiddle at 2:30. 3- Big harmony a capella! Short. 4- Bass solo! Then soulful singing on top. 5- Handclaps! Unison gang vox! Short 6- Twangy GORGEOUS folk- fiddle + acoustic. Vox are at their most precise, bluesy and delicate here. Perfect. 7- Mid-tempo waltz. Pretty. 8- Slow and downtrodden confessional vox + acoustic 9- Poppiest number. Singalong campfire fare. 10- Holy 4track hiss! Kinda boring and repetitive 11- Haunting baroque acoustic pickin + vocal moans…then drums! Awesome. 12- Sounds JUST like early cat power. Kinda country, loose vox 13- Casio rock!! Fun fun fun w/ really poppy vox. Catcby! |
