Curtis Harvey songs Making their debut with 1998's Turnstyles & Junkpiles, a collection of instrumental acoustic tapestries cut live to two-track tape, Pullman initially seemed like a one-off proposition.

Curtis Harvey music CDs Brooklyn's Rex made an incredible leap forward from its lackluster first album to C, its second and best. Stretching out over 70 minutes, the album is a lush, almost lethargic showcase for singer/guitarist Curtis Harvey's sad songs. Front-loaded with the band's best songs (the stunning "Morning and ...

Curtis Harvey songs Once again, Rex continue to refine their gentle, meandering brand of emo-core indie rock. Like an Afghan Whigs on Prozac, Rex's third full length features an increased attention on the violins, mandolins and cellos that subtly accompany the quiet, drifting guitars and bass. Although maybe just another ...

Curtis Harvey discography A relentless lullaby of acoustic guitar music from the "Chicago-mafia," featuring members of Tortoise, Rex, Directions In Music and Come.

Curtis Harvey albums All of the tunes created by Harvey, Spirito, and Scharin of Rex on Waltz are in the style of, you guessed it, a waltz in 3/4 time. A country flavor exists on this record, along with added textures of strings and horns, which are a wonderful element ...

And there are no vocals on the album, which also tells you something: they probably have day jobs. The first full-length from this quartet (their four-song EP reportedly charted fairly well with CMJ in 1997) is an awfully pretty affair, with lots of shimmery guitar counterpoint, weird time signatures, melodies that are attractive without ever really being hummable, and interesting textural choices that include pedal steel licks, cello, Byrds-y 12-string, and trumpet.
