| | Zincs Black Pompadour CD Zincs Discography of CDs
Though a Chicago resident, the Zincs' frontman Jim Elkington hails from England. And his band's sound on its debut, DIMMER, fits nicely between Morrissey and Belle and Sebastian on the Anglo-meter. Yet somehow the Zincs were able to dust off the proceedings with the slightest hints of stark Chicago alt-country. BLACK POMPADOUR, the band's third collection, contains Elkington's trademark acerbic lyrics hitched to bright melodies, but ups the ante and toughens the sound with confident electric guitar and organ interplay. Indie chanteuse Edith Frost guests on a few tracks.

No Depression (p.114) - "[With] a stylistic range from hollow-eyed Buddy Holly references to gothic Henry Mancini takes and a sort of mash-up between Pavement and Pat Metheney, all in a good way." Zincs Black Pompadour Songs Black Pompadour Review

| | Giant Sand Is All Over The Map CD (2004)
Black Pompadour CD music
$12.19
With 2004's IS ALL OVER THE MAP, Giant Sand mastermind Howe Gelb turns in another album of atmospheric, off-kilter, and always-surprising rock. (This was Giant Sand's first record in decades without the rhythm section of Joey Burns and John Convertino, who decided to focus their band, Calexico, on a full-time basis.) While, at his core, Gelb is a troubadour with an acoustic guitar, and his poetic lyrics--full of detail, human suffering, and scenic landscapes--wouldn't sound out of place in a candlelit coffeehouse, his adventurous aesthetic encompasses punk, country, rockabilly, grunge, and experimental music.
Gelb's stylistic collage is compelling both sonically and stylistically. Country-rock is blended with shuffling, quirky ...

Black Pompadour album
$15.65
British street-punks the Adicts rage on the live album JOKER IN THE PACK, recorded in 1982 and 1983 in England.
If the Adicts have any single, overriding virtue, it's their sheer persistence. Formed in 1979 and hovering on the verge of a big step forward for much of the next eight years, the group never succeeded in raising themselves above the club circuit either in Europe or elsewhere, never found themselves graduating from a superstar's support band to superstars in their own right, and never scored the effortless sequence of hits that other bands half their age and ability used to muster. But the Adicts march on regardless, with regular new releases matching their back catalog classics, backed up every step by a devoted cult following for whom the boys in bowler-hats can truly do no wrong. Recorded just a few years beyond the outset of that journey, Joker in the Pack recounts two vintage Adicts shows that have since passed into legend. The first, ...
