 (4 Customer Reviews)
Hoist is the most concise Phish album to date, but that's not necessarily a compliment. Phish's strength is not songcraft or hooks, it's the band's love of free-form song structures and extended jams. When the group's sound is reduced to its core, as it is on Hoist, it isn't quite as compelling. Nevertheless, the album is an improvement on the dismal Rift and features several fine cuts. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

 Tower of Power Horns + Phish = PHUN!!!
Hoist is the story of a band going to the big, bad state of California to make an rock album. This album is supposed to be Phish's bust out album into the mainstream. Ha boy was Elektra dissapointed. I think Down With Disease was shown twice on MTV: once at 1 o clock in the morning and the other on Beavis and Butthead. It's a great pop album and the majority of the album translates amazingly on stage.. I just miss the old proggy Phish.

 Phish's most prolific album
In 1994, this album seemed ahead of it's time.Plenty of guests, and cathchy riff's. The horns, banjo's and bela fleck make this album one of my favorite, listened to often.The more you hear hoist the more you want to!

Purchase Hoist CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Them Crooked Vultures CD (2009)
Hoist album
 $11.19   
Often, supergroups wind up dominated by one particular personality - think Eric Clapton in Derek & the Dominos, Jack White in the Raconteurs -- which makes the egalitarianism of Them Crooked Vultures all the more remarkable. Of course, when it comes down to it, it's a group of three natural-born collaborators: John Paul Jones, the old studio pro who gravitated toward provocative partners after Led Zeppelin's demise, teaming up with R.E.M. as easily as he did with avant-queen Diamanda Galas and nu-folkster Sara Watkins; Dave Grohl, who hopped into an empty drummer's chair whenever the opportunity presented itself; and Josh Homme, who set up a mini-empire based entirely on jam sessions. If Them Crooked Vultures brings to mind Homme's projects more than Grohl's or Jones', it's largely due to his role as lead vocalist and how guitar can push ...

$14.45 
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her ...

Hoist album
$13.89
Seekonk's debut album, For Barbara Lee, introduces the band's bewitching fusion of slowcore, dream pop, and post-rock. While Seekonk most resembles Things We Lost in the Fire-era Low, some of the quieter moments of Godspeed You Black Emperor! and Mogwai pop up in this album's meticulously layered arrangements. Meanwhile, Shana Barry's vocals suggest the hazy, honeyed delivery of Hope Sandoval as well as the whispery beauty of Lisa Germano and Tanya Donelly. But just because Seekonk's influences loom large in the group's sound doesn't mean that this is a Frankenstein-like cut-and-paste job of bits and pieces of different sounds and styles; on For Barbara Lee, the group creates a presence all its own. Songs like "Move" and "Swim Again" drift along on gentle guitars, keyboards, and buried drums before swelling into triumphant crescendos, buoyed along by French horns, flutes, and insistently chanted vocals. This approach could be considered formulaic if the results weren't so pretty and, at times, moving. For Barbara Lee's middle section is also its high point, as Seekonk stretches out a bit, adding some spaghetti Western drama to the creepily lovely "Hate the Sun," on which Barry intones "Still life, still life" like a medium in a trance. "The Delivery" is a seven-minute epic that spans a whispering wind, strings, birds chirping, and delicately plucked guitars with an effortless flow; "20 Degrees" moves from desolate alt-country to a surprisingly bright finale with sleigh bells and pretty harmonies that sound like a cozy December evening. These three songs are so beautiful that they tend to eclipse the rest of For Barbara Lee, although the relatively brisk, crisp "You Got What Was Coming to You" finds the band compressing its sound into a charming pop song. Still, For Barbara Lee is an atmospheric, strangely nostalgic debut, the best moments of which hint that Seekonk is on its way to creating even more striking music. ~ Heather Phares
-----Full-length CDNov 2003KC029 Seekonk makes music that is sad and warm and wise.It is music designed for the listening room, particularly the inner one you always carry around with you, bustling with that ever-present dialogue. It helps quiet things down in there.Seekonk is five players from Portland, Maine who like to try different instruments on for size, including a cello, trombone, xylophone, and bowed amplified birdcage.The band began as a result of two guys getting dumped hard by their sweethearts within weeks of each other. Songs happened. Then they asked a girl who lived on an island to sing these songs for them. Makes sense somehow.Some have said Seekonk reminds them of other bands like Pink Floyd, Low, The Velvet Underground, and Neil Young. Seekonk is not averse to being called a "head" band.Seekonk's debut album For Barbara Lee sounds particularly lovely in the here and now. And yet it has an ageless quality. That's a pretty neat trick.Here indeed ...
