(1 Customer Review)
What began as the backdrop to a monthly Williamsburg party soon evolved into it's very own a party on wax. The talented trio (made up of guitarist/vocalist Jeremy Wilms, drummer/vocalist Torbitt Schwartz, and keyboardist/vocalist Wilder Zoby) known as Chin Chin-- along with a revolving crew of local collaborators-- blend elements of soul, disco, R&B, jazz, and breakbeats to serve listeners their unique brand of what might best be described as whiteboy neo-funk. Chin Chin's self-titled debut on Def Jux is quirky, corny, and undeniably infectious. The perfect soundtrack for your next trucker hat throw-down.

Chin Chin album
$11.65 EVERCLEAR, AMC's finest hour and one the '90s' most powerful albums, is simultaneously lush and searing, heartache and despair borne out in elegant arrangements that combine fragile prettiness and soul-baring howls of pain. Multi-instrumentalist Bruce Kaphan rose to the occasion of his production debut. The canyons of reverb on the instruments are strangely appropriate, highlighting the almost decadent, tragically beautiful feel of the songs. Keyboards, pedal steel, and acoustic guitars drift like abandoned ships swirling around in a colorfully tempestuous sea full of unknown nautical demons. Guitarist Vudi contributes some of the most artful, non-traditional sounds ever concocted by a "rock" axeman.
The album begins with a slow, soulful lament to a love who's either sleeping or dead, before taking up the subject of mortality more fully in the anthemic "Rise," written by Eitzel for an AIDS-stricken ...

| | Trembling Blue Stars Last Holy Writer CD (2007) (Import) United Kingdom
Chin Chin album
$15.25 Truth be told, the Trembling Blue Stars routine was getting kind of stale by the release of Seven Autumn Flowers in 2004. With that album they crossed the line that divides reliable and predictable; no longer did the morose lyrics, melancholy vocals, minor chords and cheesy synths make a positive impression. Luckily for fans of the band, The Last Holy Writer is a comeback of sorts, certainly an improvement, and maybe even one of their finest records. How did they do it? It's hard to say because on the surface it seems like not much has changed sound or mood-wise. There's still a preponderance of downbeat lyrics and Bob Wratten hasn't suddenly traded in his mope for a smile, no fear of that anytime soon. The building blocks of their sound are mostly the same too. What makes a difference here is a boost in the overall energy level from unrelenting gloom to mostly sad, a slightly expanded sonic palette that makes room for field recordings and a wider range of drum sounds, and most importantly, some really good songs. Chief among them are the Beth Arzy-sung "Idyllwild" which, much like Helen Reddy on the last album, fairly bursts out of the speakers like sun through the clouds, "Darker, Colder, Slower," which has the kind dramatic shifts in dynamics and tone TBS Records need more of, the laid-back near-country rocker "The Tenth of Always," and the almost happy sounding "Say Goodbye to the Sea" (of course ...

| | Greg Koch Radio Free Gristle CD (2003) Import
Chin Chin music CDs
$16.29 Guitarist Greg Koch makes a musical and sociopolitical statement here regarding the sad state of radio in the U.S.A. Hence, he frames this outing around his fictitious spoken word radio snippets that interleave among these 27 tracks. At times, Koch's humorous diatribes wear a bit thin throughout the duration of this affair, marked by his slick picking, progressive metal guitar licks, and rather bland vocals. However, there are some shining moments, evidenced by his affable sitar-guitar work on the piece "Torn Asunder" and elsewhere. The guitarist works through a series of pounding blues-rockers and pieces that more or less highlight his guitar wizardry. In fact, guitar hero Steve Vai -- who must be commended for ...
| | Therion Sirius B/Lemuria CDs (2004)
Chin Chin songs
$16.55 Therion mastermind Christofer Johnsson has never recovered from hearing the choir come in at the end of Ozzy Osbourne's "Diary of a Madman." While 2002's Secret of the Runes, a conceptual work celebrating the nine different worlds of Norse mythology, was technically flawless and endlessly atmospheric, its orchestral and choral wall of sound seemed pasted on rather than successfully integrated into the electric onslaught. After a two-year hiatus, Therion return ...

| | Gnawa: Home Songs CD (2007) (Import) France
Chin Chin album
$17.79 This is billed on the cover as "intimist blues-like songs from Black Africa" which sounds like a way to cash in on the popularity of the West African desert blues. They're perhaps first cousins, but this Gnawa music from Morocco is based around chants and rhythms, rather than songs. Powered by percussion and the bass-like gimbri, there's a ...
