im gonna be super honest here, my laziness has probably led to me overlooking some great records. i am going to actually going admit that i know it has, and thats a god damn shame. its like do i listen to bee thousand for the 1000th time or say birmingham’s 13ghosts most recent release, liar’s melody? well, as you can probably guess, it took me a while, but finally gave the latter record more than a few solid listens over the past week and damn! im glad i did. in case you didnt know 13ghosts is ex-dexateen brad armstrong’s band along with 3 other dudes, although the lineup may or may not change from time to time. so if you were a fan of the dexateens fan you should absolutely dig this. although, i should say i was thrown off by the opening riff of the lead track “water, rise” cause i was absolutely thinking this was gonna be more a stones “shake your hips” kinda record, but it is not, at least most of it isnt. regardless, its a great record, and what it is and what it isnt doesnt matter. you can only grab this record via this is american music for a measly 5 bucks. btw, maria taylor sings back up on two tracks on the record.
very cool…haven’t heard of these guys but loved the Dexateens. Checking it out!
