This three track Japanese release by Scottish experimental indie rockers Mogwai features "My Father My King" and live versions of "You Don't Know Jesus" and "Helicon 1."
The sticker on the disc is intriguing enough, calling it a "companion to their recent Rock Action album" and "two parts serenity and one part death metal." My Father My King is a single track of the same name that lasts over 20 minutes. Though the inlay card features the Jewish Rosh Hashanah hymnal from which the melody originated, it is an instrumental. The meat is somewhat similar to the band Earth's sludgy, monotone feedback or Caspar Brötzmann Massaker sans singing, with a nicely noisy production job from a man accustomed to such things, Steve Albini, bookended with relative tranquility. Call it mood music for mood swings and unlike anything the Scottish troupe has endeavored, but it still retains the experimental, arty flair Mogwai is identified with. ~ Brian O'Neill

My Father, My King CD music
$9.39 Yume Bitsu's self-titled effort on New Jersey's Ba Da Bing records debuted the band's delicate and charming style of experimental, and largely instrumental, indie rock. The disc starts off with the wallowing and delicate "Team Yume." The song eventually kicks into a higher gear, and the newfound energy translates blissfully to the listener, as all good experimental music should. Adam Forkner's hushed vocals yearn to be heard behind a modest wall of sound on "I Wait for You," followed by "Surface I," which quickly grows out of its initial quietude and evolves into a layered attack on the senses. On "Truth," Forkner's voice again dances over the ...
| | Breeders Title TK CD (2002)
My Father, My King music CDs
$9.29 It may have taken nearly a decade for The Breeders to deliver a follow-up to 1993's critically and commercially acclaimed LAST SPLASH, but TITLE TK does not disappoint, as Dayton's Deal sisters continue to serve up their brand of oddly patched-together pop. With lo-fi engineering deity Steve Albini manning the board, The Breeders return with a stripped-down sound that manifests itself on off-kilter cuts like "Sinister Foxx" and the shambling, gloriously dissonant "Too Alive."
Although the pace throughout is decidedly low-key, the decidedly tart harmonies the Deals sprinkle throughout TITLE TK make for a singular listening experience, particularly on the druggy haze of the psychedelic nugget "The She," the plodding "Little Fury," and the rumbling post-grunge that is "Son Of Three." ...

| | Rosanne Cash List CD (2009)
My Father, My King album
$14.45 After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims with a kind of redemptive timelessness. THE LIST is a renewal and a testament to life, and it belongs to her father as much as it belongs to her, a beautiful restatement of her father's passions, only now, they've become his daughter's treasures, as well. It's an affirming story, but that's all it would be if Cash didn't sing her heart out here. The opener, a version of Jimmie Rodgers' "Miss the Mississippi and You," is full of comfortable grace and sentiment, and Cash keeps that fine emotional tone throughout this set. Songs like the folk classic ...
| | Them Crooked Vultures CD (2009)
My Father, My King CD music
$13.05 Often, supergroups wind up dominated by one particular personality - think Eric Clapton in Derek & the Dominos, Jack White in the Raconteurs -- which makes the egalitarianism of Them Crooked Vultures all the more remarkable. Of course, when it comes down to it, it's a group of three natural-born collaborators: John Paul Jones, the old studio pro who gravitated toward provocative partners after Led Zeppelin's demise, teaming up with R.E.M. as easily as he did with avant-queen Diamanda Galas and nu-folkster Sara Watkins; Dave Grohl, who ...

| | Laura Bradley Storm CD (2005)
My Father, My King album
$14.39 Canadian-born, Miami-based singer Laura Bradley debuts about a decade too late with 2005's Storm. Had this record come out in the mid-'90s, Bradley might have fit in nicely among the likes of Paula Cole and Sarah McLachlan, providing a slightly more aggressive and rockist version of their glossy AAA radio pop that might have positioned her as Pat Benatar to their Laura Branigan and Stevie Nicks. Ten years later, however, Bradley's first album simply sounds oddly out of date. Storm is filled with lackluster commercial pop tunes given sparkling arrangements and production (Michael Penn collaborator Patrick Warren is responsible for the string arrangements) and topped ...
