| | Black Lips Good Bad Not Evil CD Black Lips Discography of CDs
Atlanta garage-punk kingpins the Black Lips made a name for themselves outside garage circles thanks to an infamously rambunctious live show that was known to involve all manner of flying fluids. Fittingly, their first album for Vice Records, LOS VALIENTES DEL MUNDO NUEVO, was a set recorded live in Tijuana, Mexico. A raucous session by any standard, the album set the stage for the Lips' studio debut for Vice, the excellent GOOD BAD NOT EVIL.
Though GBNE is as much of a stomping good time as any other Lips album, it displays a newfound focus on craft and nuance over chaos and raunch. "Veni Vidi Vici" and "Step Right Up" offer polished updates on '60s garage and psych, while "Navajo" and "How Do You Tell a Child That Someone Has Died" are pitch-perfect genre exercises that point to the Lips' irreverence as well as their talent. A strong record that shows a band growing without abandoning its soul, GOOD BAD NOT EVIL will surely introduce the Lips to a larger audience, while pleasing fans as well.

It's hard to believe Stan Ridgway has never worked with David Lynch -- these soundscapes from the former leader of Wall of Voodoo seem perfectly suited to the filmmaker's dark tales -- but his publicity bio reveals no evidence that he has. At any rate, if you recall Lynch's Twin Peaks, you can probably conjure this up pretty well. Ridgway writes, as the bio notes, "about the darker side of things"; and his latest album, like its predecessors, is dominated by somber, limited-range vocals and moody, ...

Principally recorded at The Knitting Factory, New York, New York.
Out of the Reeds is an absolutely gorgeous album from Pharoah's Daughter. Leader Baysa Schechter learned Hebrew and Yiddish as a child, then joined a stepfamily of Syrian descent. It is this multicultural background that informs the music of Pharoah's Daughter. Tabla and dumbek provide the rhythm under Schechter's beautiful voice and acoustic guitar or oud. Flute and cello add a sublime richness as she sings traditional liturgical texts in Yiddish and Hebrew. Despite the appearance of downtown players Anthony Coleman and Matt Darriau on several tracks, the music has a very traditional and reverential Middle Eastern feel. The haunting melodies are derived from traditional Jewish music, Armenia, and even West Africa. Pharoah's Daughter manage to combine these musical traditions in an utterly complementary fashion, resulting in a work of uncommon beauty. ~ Sean Westergaard
This is the album that Brooklyn-based Basya Schechter was born to make - reverent, intelligeng and exciting settings to classic jewish liturgy and folksongs with superb backing by her own band and a distinguished group of guests including producer, Anthony Coleman and Matt Darriau.From a haunting "Hevel" through a niggun created from a West African Melody, from an eerie "Eicha" through the best new "Lecha Dodi" ...
