Underachiever is the first solo release from storied NYC musician Sean Smith (formerly of Pawnshop). With tracks produced by David ImmerglĂĽck (Counting Crows) and Jesse Malin, recorded in Los Angeles and New York respectively, Underachiever features some of the top musicians of both cities. Joining Smith's warm, shimmering acoustic, ImmerglĂĽck holds down wailing pedal steel and lap steel, plus bass, along with Counting Crows bandmate Charles Gillingham on piano, Wurlitzer, and organ. Back in New York, Christine Smith (Malin, Ryan Adams, Crash Test Dummies) accompanies on keyboards and vocals, along with Amalia Daskalakis (MadJuana) on viola.Smith's music hearkens to Paul Westerberg, Elvis Costello, Big Star, and the Kinks in its lyrical preciseness, raw moods, wit, grit, and power. Singing of love won and lost, inebriated evenings one block south of Houston with the radio on, promises made and broken, and the crash of nameless (although sometimes quite pinpointed) desire, his soulful voice reaches out and wraps you in the vision of his emotion.

Underachiever CD music
$12.69
Arden Kaywin, LA’s newest female pop singer/song-writer, gives listeners a personal take of her own twenty-something crisis on her album Quarter Life Crisis. Arden is that rare combination of a gifted songwriter with the vocal talent to match. Her songwriting abilities have a top 40 sensibility while maintaining honesty and a depth of lyrical insight. Quarter Life Crisis is an ode to a journey taken by Arden herself. “My album is called Quarter Life Crisis because I was going through such a crisis myself when I wrote it. I had too many unanswered questions in my life.” These are the same questions many young adults ask themselves after they have left college and realize that the real world is not what they expected. It was during this critical period of change that the songs from Quarter Life Crisis were written.The CD opens with the radio track, “Me With Me” which was recently nominated by the Independent Music Awards for Pop Song of the Year. The song is also considered to be one that particularly stood out for Arden during her time of transition. “It was written after I’d finally started enjoying being single again. So in a way it’s a song about empowerment.” In addition to her nod for Pop Song of the Year, Arden has also been nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year by the 2005 Los Angeles Music Awards. Arden’s music gathers many influences. “When I was a child, I was obsessed with Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. Then in high school I discovered artists like Tori Amos, Dave Matthews Band, and the Indigo Girls. That’s when I fell in love with songwriting as a craft.” During that time, Arden studied classical music and ...
| | Stephanie Rearick Star Belly CD (2005)
Underachiever music CDs
$12.65
Stephanie Rearick is slowly, carefully tweaking her recorded personality as a solo pianist and singer/songwriter who makes use of a variety of sometimes daring enhancements. Star Belly, her 2005 set of songs, seems not remarkably different then previous sets such as The Bucket Rider. Her vocal overdubbing and harmonizing are marvelous, bringing forth a multitude of possibilities as organically as a fistful of hollyhock seeds. The piano continues as a stronger and stronger element, left-hand parts tromping out a framework that a weaker player would have to wheedle out of a rhythm section. Both piano and vocal come in and out of a production treatment in which aspects move from large, sometimes obscuring amounts of processing to the purest of simplicity. When this takes place during the course of a single song, it is as if the listener has fallen asleep in an antique auction and woken up alone, back in his own bedroom. ...

Underachiever songs
$12.65
• Mellow and dreamy space pop• catchy melodies and heartfelt words• acoustic/electronic sounds• songs to help YOU think dream and wonder• has hints of Elliot Smith, Death Cab for Cutie, Cure, Coldplay...NO KISS FOR NEW YEARS - BiographyDreamy space pop — three words that instantly come to mind when first hearing Milwaukee's No Kiss for New Years. This duo creates dreamy atmospheres that are cut apart and spliced together with interesting stuctures and pop sensabilities. Their songs whisper fragments of Kings of Convienience, Death Cab for Cutie, Coldplay, Elliot Smith, Idaho, Pedro the Lion, The Postal Service, Owen, Cure and New Order, charming and challenging listeners with thoughtful words and arrangements that embrace them as well.An indie folk-pop sound with electronic flurishes, the pair utilize instruments from traditional to modern including: acoustic guitars, old organs, synths, midi instruments and digital effects. For percussion they use a plethora of channels from traditional drums and drum machines to foot taps, leg slaps, shakers and tambourines. Originally intended as a solo project for Gregory Borden after his former band Menlo parted ways, No Kiss for New Years grew into a two-member project when he and former bandmate Nathanial Zuelzke kept crossing paths on Milwaukee's trendy East Side. Zuelzke left Borden's former band after a few short months due to his pusuit of an architecture degree and his demanding love life (i.e. lonely girlfriend), however ...

Black Fortress of Opium recorded their 2008 self-titled debut album with producer Martin Bisi (Dresden Dolls, Iggy Pop, John Zorn, Sonic Youth, Brian Eno, Swans).Press:Black Fortress of Opium are a brawling, dark monster of a band that seems like it should be playing shows with, say, Nicki Jaine or the Dresden Dolls rather than Gogol Bordello." – Ned Raggett, All Music Guide"Treading a darker almost gothic path, probably through a Victorian cemetery at dusk, Black Fortress of Opium, are moody and magnificent on their self-titled album...a beautiful collection of brooding and melancholy songs that are varied enough to sustain interest throughout the album." - Simon Lewis and Steve Palmer, Terrascope"Shows amazing promise and creative poise for such a new band. The album is a heady brew of melancholia, exotic instrumental flourishes, sinister glances and a sound that is as gothic as it is Appalachian and European." - Matthew Moyer, Ink 19"Would suit a David Lynch bar scene" – Muruch"Intensity and dark regality… dominant feelings of haunting, other-worldliness and mystique…Black Fortress of Opium truly makes you believe that you just may be listening to something highly monumental." – Northeast Performer Magazine"BFO's music is filled with shimmering darkness, pierced by Ajda's often wraithlike vocals, and marked by dynamic tension." - Nick Zaino, Boston Globe"This album's a great and daring thing." – collectedsounds.com"The group plays hypnotic, often mesmerizing songs that unwind with a darkly slinky sensuality, sometimes exploding in ...
