Bry Webb’s Provider

Holy shit, when I found out that Bry Webb, Constantines front man extrodinaire, was putting out a solo disc I jumped with unecumberable joy! On Provider the softer side of Webb’s songwriting shines like the slow jam gems of Constantines records of old; however, this time round a host of fantastic players back Bry, lining these subdued folk gems with a beauty hard to describe, you’re better off having a listen.

Youth Lagoon

Youth Lagoon is the reverb-drenched bedroom recordings of one Trevor Powers. With lyrics reading like pages ripped from a diary, Trevor swirls together guitar, distant electric piano, and dreamy vocals to create a mixture sweet enough to make even Paula Deen shiver. Glo-fi for snowy days.

Cymbals Eat Guitars Lenses Alien

dirtydetonator — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 17:03:01 +0000

The best thing about Cymbals Eat Guitars is how familiar their records sound, while at the same time sounding fresh and inventive. Like an old friend who comes back to town with a new haircut,a bottle of scotch, three dubes, and is down to get rowdy in the best possible way, that’s CEG. Their new record Lenses Alien is just a startlingly beautiful as Why There are Mountains and definitely worth getting a hold of.
