A modern heartbreaker in the style of a youthful Neil Young. ~ Brian John Mitchell, Remora Sparseness is both brick and mortar of daydreams. Big worlds are cobbled from the fragments of smaller ones: notions, longings, stupefying ideals. Life is always out of reach, but that’s precisely what makes it worth living. No one understands with more aching accuracy than Heller Mason’s Todd Vandenberg. Based in the obscure alcove of Little Chute, WI, Vandenberg’s songs are packed with references to places distant and unknown. But at the same time, there is an inability to strike ahead; it’s simpler to slink about on home turf, and dwell on the bygone and unknowable. “There’s an ocean inside all of us,” he sings on Packing My Bags for Hell, only to paddle back into himself on the title track, “Some drinks and I’ll get on with my story / Once I’ve regained my composure and the color in my eyes.” Notion upon notion with no escape.It took three years for the songs on Minimalist & Anchored to bloom from mere and distant thoughts into the unified collection you are now holding. That time was rife with technological doom, stints abroad, homecomings, loves built and dismantled and built anew, sporadic tours in support of a halffinished album, excess thumb-twiddling and a whole bunch of other broke-ass shit that we’ll just refer to here as mixing sessions. But all told, the hands that were sat on did not go numb in vain. Vandenberg’s personal growth branched out into the songs, giving them a vibrancy that three years ago would have been impossible.Initially, Minimalist & Anchored was recorded in a way that mirrored the isolation of each songs lyrics - it was just Vandenberg's voice and a hollow guitar. But over time, the whole affair was stratified, and the record now includes a delegation of nine musicians playing a spectrum of instruments including electric guitar, drums, bass, cello, female vocals, wurlitzer, piano and trumpet. The presence of others often works to amplify one's sense of solitude, and that is what's at work here. ...
| | Static Eden Receiver CD (2008)
Hikarimono: Picasso Single Collection songs
$16.45
Static Eden began in 1998 with the release of their independent album, Karma Bizarre, recorded live off of the floor, mixed and mastered in two weeks; an attempt at capturing the depth and spontaneity of the band's live performances around Milton and Guelph, Ontario. Karma Bizarre showcases the band's unique flavor of alternative rock, a much darker sound in the spirit of progressive rock bands but with a larger focus on melodic hooks and shorter songs. This energy was unfortunately lost a few months later with the departure of their lead guitarist.After struggling unsuccessfully in various studios to record new material, Static Eden decided to take complete control of their work.The new album, emerging after the band spent nearly an entire year alone in the studio, is a gigantic step forward. The band's motivation became trying to translate their live performance into an album without losing the focus and energy that originally made the songs engaging for their fans.As a result, the band wanted to make it clear that the crowd was very important. "We decided that the focus for the album would be to interpret the live performance. We would create it using the studio as another instrument and send our 'signal' right back to the fans, carefully created, but still raw and direct. That's what Receiver's about - our direct signal to the listener. It's all up to them, they control it all."REVIEWS"So imagine a grunge band hooked on the Smiths. Really. I'm not making this up. I couldn't make this up.It took me a few minutes to place exactly what I thought I was hearing. But what Static Eden does is combine vicious grunge riffage with Morrissey-style vocals and a vaguely new-wave production sensibility.I kept waiting for my judgment to be wrong, for a song to come along that completely defeated my take on this. Some songs are grungier than others. Some songs are Smithsier than others. But both elements are always present. This is a really strange combination.Oh. By the way, it works. I mean, when I think about it a little, that only makes sense. There's an anthemic streak in each, and Static Eden plays that to the hilt. These songs may not be as important as the sometimes pompous presentation makes them out to be, but they're pretty damned good. A lot more fun than should be allowed by law." - Aiding & Abetting"Static Eden combines tried and true rock-hooks with the idiosyncratic confluence of good-guy vocals and drudging metal-infused guitars; imagine the guy from ...

Hikarimono: Picasso Single Collection album

Roots artist Lynne Hanson was born in Ottawa, Canada, hometown to a growing number of exceptional roots artists, including Kathleen Edwards and Lynn Miles (who sings backup on several tracks). Lynne has been attracting critical praise since the release of her debut CD Things I Miss in late 2006. River by My Side won the 2006 Blues Award from the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals “Songs from the Heart” contest, while the title track was chosen as one of the best songs of 2006 by the Indie Acoustic Music Project. With Eleven Months Lynne is making a case that there must be something in the water. \"Eleven Months is a moving, emotionally well crafted ...
