Audio Biography CD songs
$10.69 In the recessionary climate of the music business of 2005, record companies scrambled to add value to CD packages. Not only were old albums reissued in "deluxe" versions with as much as another full CD of unreleased material, but major artists took to issuing first-time releases with extra takes and video content. In such an environment, why shouldn't an indie band join in? De Novo Dahl, hailing from the college town of Murfreesboro, TN, near Nashville, previously has released only a six-song self-titled EP, but Cats & Kittens, the group's first full-length album, is actually much more than full-length. Cats, if you will, is a 16-track CD, while its counterpart, Kittens, contains the same 16 songs "remixed," as the press release puts it. Of course, these days a remix is anything but a mere re-manipulation of the faders on the studio soundboard, and these remixes are really entirely different versions of the songs with radically different arrangements. To take the material in order, the Cats disc presents a band that seems to have ingested decades' worth of British pop/rock music, specifically the '60s and the '70s. The lighter sides of the Beatles and the Kinks from the '60s are echoed in the music, but even more evident is the influence of '70s U.K. bands like T. Rex (more "Ride a White Swan" than "Bang a Gong [Get It On]") and Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel. (Bet these guys could do a mean version of "Make Me Smile [Come Up and See Me].") American influences sneak in here and there, particularly the Beach Boys, Blondie (when Serai Zaffiro sings and the organ cranks up), and the Cars, but it's the Brits that De Novo Dahl really recall, especially when Mark Bond (aka Vovo Dahl) applies his baritone to a song like ...
| | Dirty Pretty Things Waterloo To Anywhere CD (2006)
Audio Biography CD album
$32.59 WATERLOO TO ANYWHERE is Carl Barat's first post-Libertines album, and features his brand-new band. Well, his sort-of-new band. In Dirty Pretty Things, he is joined by former Libertines drummer Gary Powell, and by guitarist John Rossomando and bassist Didz Hammond, both of whom played with the Libertines on tour. So they are to a large extent a continuation of the Libertines, without tabloid fixture Pete Doherty.
Perhaps because the creative controls are in one person's hands, the album rings with a signature sound, filtering tuneful melodies that range from ska to sea shanty through unfastidious, slashing guitars. The bass hits like a ray gun set on pulse, and the drums keep it all from spinning out of control, but only just. The album begins with "Deadwood," a hyperkinetic vamp that swings on a set of grimy riffs. "The Gentry Cove" sets a folk melody over ska rhythms, while "The Enemy" is a mid-tempo rocker that contains some of Barat's finest songwriting. On one level it seems to be an angry song about the breakup of his former band, but the song concludes with the almost whispered lines, "All you need's a gentle heart / To see you through the endless dark."
Carl Barat's reputation as the (slightly more) responsible Libertine continues with Waterloo to Anywhere, his first album with Dirty Pretty Things, which also features former Libs drummer Gary Powell and guitarist Anthony Rossamundo, who filled in for Pete Doherty on the Libertines' last few tours. The album plays like a cleaner, slightly more straightforward version of the mod-punk Barat contributed to his former band: tightly engineered blasts of sound like "Deadwood" ...
