McKisko – Glorio [2009]
listen try buy “…The sound of the album evokes thoughts of the mellower songs from Sufjan Stevens’ Michigan and Seven Swans albums, or even Talk Talk’s Laughing Stock – there’s a stark pristine quality to these songs, where each instrument is placed just so in the spectrum of sounds.” Before Hollywood “Let Franzmann’s plaintive voice – a voice as unique as Nico’s or Joni Mitchell’s – guide you through the spare but effective arrangements on the album, which are something like Bill Callahan’s later work as Smog augmented by some baroque flourishes from Misery Is A Butterfly-era Blonde Redhead. Then, once you have soaked up the sheer minimalist beauty of songs such as Undertow or Thankful Tangle, you’ll understand exactly why this short, restrained album (it clocks in at just over half an hour, certainly not outstaying its welcome) is so exciting

listen try buy thnx grafista Fans of Eef Barzelay and his unfortunately christened band Clem Snide got a long awaited gift last year with the release of Hungry Bird , the oft-delayed album that was subject to the plagues of internal creative strife and personnel disarray. After some promising solo projects, Barzelay decided to regroup Clem Snide, wrapped up Hungry Bird for ‘09 release, toured with his cohorts and set out to continue the Snide-ly legacy.
