Recorded shortly before Ardent Fevers but not released until a year after that album, Saunders Hollow is another example of the balanced power of Tanakh, striking a middle way between Jesse Poe's particular vision and the combination of the many performers that make up the free-floating group. But the result here is of a different sort again, as singer and multi-instrumentalist Michele Poulos takes the lead vocal role throughout this record, a bold move that works wonders. Much like Ardent Fevers, Saunders Hollow explores an aesthetic of restrained, mysterious beauty, a combination of a processional and a stately and poised collapse. "Ladybird" sets the tone with its blend of mournful strings, gentle pace, and interwoven keyboards and guitars, Poulos adding the killer touch on both vocals and vibraphones -- it calls to mind a never-never Europe of dark winters shot through with understated passion, no bad thing at all. But by no means is it all a European trip; the title track, for instance, almost suggests what would have happened if the Band had performed a quiet Ennio Morricone piece for an early-'70s movie, sprightly but still mournful acoustic guitar against a calm arrangement. Poe sings at a few points on the album but it's Poulos' performances on songs like "Longer Than Sorrow" that listeners will appreciate first and foremost. "Down," the darkest moment of the album sonically thanks to a slow beat and dour lead strings and bass tones, relies on Poulos' calm singing to provide the just-contrasting-enough sonic anchor. Not everything on Saunders Hollow is a strung-out mood piece, certainly -- songs like "Marcel Proust" have a quicker clip to them, if still performed with the same cool control. Meantime, concluding number "Illusions of Separation" takes the most experimental bent, incorporating everything from drones to seemingly random noise. ~ Ned Raggett
Tanakh: Jesse Poe (electric guitar, background vocals); Darius Jones (saxophone); Pete Mathis (harpsichord); Curtis Fye (upright bass, bass guitar); Brian Jones (drums).

REVIEWThe Spinouts - "Crusin' at Night" Marijn Raiijmaker, The BlackCat Rockabilly, November 2001 www.rockabilly.nlDo they sound like Elvis Presley, Johnny Burnette or Carl Perkins? No they don't, they really sound like The Spinouts, and still they play authentic rockabilly music. So, what's the catch? Well, there is no catch, these guys are just great musicians with fresh ideas. They ...

Hal Camplin came to Bristol via an operation on his spine in New York to form a band with ex-Chronics frontman Jimmy Barnett.They setup a gambling company called The Flying Foal instead. When Barnett was taken into care, Camplin set up an arts space in 2002 called Kangaroo Kourt where he recorded in a floorless loft studio. He helped develop a new performance scene with local poets and graffiti artists.Badgertrap is the purest and most lunatic black humour you'll ever come across.Spare Velvet-like chords provide the bedding for wry Richman-echoing songs with ace lines like : “We can get married wherever we like, we just can’t have sex in Nebraska because you’re 13 and I’m 21. And also you’re my sister so all our children will be blue.”-Julian Owen of Venue magazine, Bristol UKAn Interview with the artist, musician and founder of Kangaroo Kourt, Hal Camplin. Summer 06.So you set up an art space in 2002, can you tell us a bit about how it developed into Kangaroo Kourt?2001 Just after Sept. 11th I returned from New York after an operation on my spine and started a horse racingbetting line business in Bristol (after leaving London). We named our business HQ Kangaroo Kourt and put a slatesign up outside the house I was renting with others in north Bristol off the Gloucester rd (I was on good termswith the house owner).2002 I tidied up my front room where I was living in Bristol and advertised for artists and boarded up the windows to show a cinecam projection.2003 I put on about seven shows, many with stencil graffiti some with installation.2004 I started a group called SWALC (South West Artists’ Little Cartel) with eight artists such as Peter Hunter and gHOSTbOY.2005 I conceived The Dead Inventive, a show about inventions that didn’t work (were unmarketable!) and put on some live art shows with artists from around the UK. SWALC then became Kangaroo Kourt because it made communications easier.2006 A cat called Larry, born round the corner from Kangaroo Kourt, had shown an interest in making art so I decided he should have his own show. I invited artists I knew and artists I didn’t to get involved in Moggy Marks:a collaboration with cat artist Larry. Do you have some kind of manifesto?We have no manifesto- except we believe that art is a doing thing which is really what the DIY art scene is all about- just getting your arse in gear and doing things for yourself worrying little about the consequences (time,money, tears, aches and pains)Who do you respect, who would you consider to be your role model?People I haven’t stopped repecting yet for their dry, dark and surreal humour (and would like to be) includeMark E Smith, a songwriter called John Darnielle ( The Mountatin Goats), Bill Murray and the stand up comedianDylan Moran. I was reading the list of your musical influences on myspace, it is similar to mine except for a lack of TheSmiths,explain!(I’ve got Mark E Smith though…)Funny you mention it – as I also play in band called The Great Admirers whose lead singer (Pat Reid ) wrote a bookon Morrissey- and I have actually been listening to them quite a bit very recently. But the reason for the omission is that they hold bad memories for me. I used to fancy a red-head at art college who loved Morrissey ...
