Picnic With the Dead CD (1998)
Phoenix Thunderstone music CDs There's always a redolent sexual energy at a Phoenix Thunderstone show, but whereas that's generally a violent and almost spastic energy, Picnic With the Dead reveals a slinkier, more subtle kind of sensuality. Singer/bassist Sean Heskett -- a man known for his predilection for full-frontal nudity -- sounds as if he's reclining on a plush, luxurious bed, wearing silk pajamas and sipping absinthe. And guitarist/singer Wendy Van Dusen is a pouty, bad little girl; when her voice joins along with his, like on the ultracool cover of Prince's "Free" and the moody, desert-vibe of "She," it's truly a match made in hell. The songs are generally simple, straightforward affairs: prominent drumbeats propel Van Dusen's bar chords and lead guitarist Hugh Yerburgh's tasty licks while Heskett's rudimentary bass playing provides an appropriately stripped-down foundation.

Stained Glass Trash CD (1997)
Phoenix Thunderstone songs Phoenix Thunderstone's second album, Stained Glass Trash, finds the group coming across like an updated -- that is, a Jon Spencer-ized -- cowpunk group, kicking out a frenzied, kitschy version of country-punk. It isn't surprising that the band is better at sheer noise than songwriting -- this is the kind of band that was born to play live, where they can bait the audience and explode with energy -- and that makes the record frustrating: you can hear their potential, but it becomes clear they don't quite know how to write the hooks and songs to realize ...
