Quite simply, the second volume of Vitamin's String Quartet Tribute to Incubus covers much of what the first didn't, augmented by tracks from the group's late- 2003 effort Crow Left of the Murder. With the usual combination of viola, cello, and two violins, the set runs through chamber music-type instrumental versions of oldies ("Nice to Know You," "Are You In?") and newbies ("Megalomaniac"), completely missing the harsher angles in Incubus' music and eschewing much of the loose-limbed soul. "Circles" does feature some rousing layers of violin harmony, but that doesn't make this tribute anything more than a novelty for Incubus diehards. ~ Johnny Loftus

Sean Croghan's amazing first solo offering is a desolate, razor-burned troubadour's record loaded with confessional angst both real and artistic, a few full revolutions from the music he made with Crackerbash and Jr. High. His outpouring of woeful emotion runs the gamut, from an almost whimsical kind of feigned misery ("Gweneveire") to the adamant, resentful sort that sounds genuinely hurt. By mixing up the approach, the tenor of the album never seems like too much or too little of a painful thing. It isn't strictly an open wound, although there's an element of that. But Croghan is also smart enough to know that, as messy as love may be, there is an element of silliness that comes with investing so much into a single venture. The gloom, after all, will eventually pass, and when it does, you'll only be left with the memory of how pathetic it made you look. That is the beauty of From Burnt Orange to Midnight Blue. Stark, haunting songs like "Fridays Face in Sundays Suit" and the bleak cabaret of "Tom R." strip the drama down to its naked core while others, like the wonderfully jovial "Little Miss Whiplash" and "Its Gonna Be Alright," build it right back up. The music is as frayed as Croghan's singing, which jumps from its normal register up into a strained falsetto that falls just a few whiskey's shy of a tearful (or comical) bender, wandering into and out of tune. But the lo-fi atmosphere paints the music all the appropriate hues, whether shadow-colored or brilliant, whether it is a warped, bottom-heavy Western saga ("John McConnells Ghost") or a raw plea. And he pulls out all the stops on "Otis Tolstoy," an over-the-top rock on which he conjures Prince's pleading scream over and over until you start to reach for the handkerchief, to offer to the singer if not to use yourself. It is a wonderful album that leaves you wondering why you loved it so much, until you realize that Croghan covers the range of human frailties and failings with so much feeling that you have to catch up with the insights. The comparisons to Elvis Costello don't seem far off base at all. ~ Stanton Swihart
New Project from Crackerbash/Jr. High Frontman Sean Croghan! A dark, smoky club, the stench of alcohol, and beer spilled everywhere. Sticky floors and a noisy crowd make you wish were at home. That is, until Sean Croghan hits the stage.The mood quickly changes from drunk and tired to shattering ...

Check out the new OCHO cd at cdbaby /cd/zacbrown2"Born on the wide western plains of Oklahoma and weened upon its somber psychedelic skies, like a grape of wrath this Okie rolled West to see the sun set the ocean afire. And falling to his knees upon the storm tossed sands of Oregon proclaimed a perpetual communion, a divine submission to the will of those lunatic tides, an offeratory submersion to the depths of those Pacific seas, yea though they rage to shape the noble visage of looming and stoic cliffs. What Bells toll above? Who dares challenge the heaven's precipice preying above? Doth I hear Dover echo here? Is Lear a lampooning Lazarus? No, no dear reader, Zac Brown deigned descend from the Alpine with the manna of his Crystalline Epiphany. And as the clouds parted and the golden rays of sunshine dried the auburn curls of his hair, a dove, cooing the most tender of triumphs annointed his shoulder as an offeratory of peace. Thus has this Album come forth."For Booking and Info please contact-Joshua HartzogMidnight Rambler Management133 S.
