Death Vessel: Stay Close

Death Vessel Joel Thibodeau is an excellent solo performer, playing raw and dark country-influenced guitar songs, sung by his oft-confused-for-a-woman's voice that is odd and amazing. His songs are well crafted and eloquent and seeing him live in an intimate setting is captivating. Stay Close doesn't do justice to Death Vessel largely due to its production which sounds all wrong. Also, the arrangements and guest singers are not quite at the level Joel's song writing is at. This album has its moments for sure, but I'd highly recommend seeing him live before you judge him by this one. :: Death Vessel: Stay Close - ATP/Rough Trade

MOUTHUS

Best of the recent Our Mouth stuff is the first Sullivan solo CD-R. Sullivan's comes under the name Eskimo King, and /Tooth-Shaped Migration/ is five thick, detailed chunks of sound spread over a quick 17 minutes. What I dig most about Sullivan is his wide-open outlook on what sounds are worth making. Mouthus may concoct a lot of deep, textured noise, but they also use acoustic guitar loops, dirgey metal-like stomps, polyrhtyhmic meditations, busted rock riffs, and tons more.

„Nein, nein, kein Soundtrack! Wir kombinieren nur die Stücke auf unseren Alben - wir schneiden erstmal alles auf Band mit, um dann, vielleicht Monate später, zu sagen: Oh, das hier passt ja thematisch zu diesem Stück und auch zu jenem. Oder: Dieses Stück würden zu jenen Anderen passen, wäre es nicht so grottenschlecht. Also: Trash it.” Brian Sullivan/HE Interview
