several girls galore- Cross This Wide Country [2011]

I've been a little late in uploading this album. A great road trip jam that starts out with a bang but ends on a contemplative note.

Get It

Califone- Quicksand/Cradlesnakes [2003]

With Quicksand/Cradlesnakes, Califone finally sounds like a confident, poised outfit rather than a Tim Rutili work-in-progress. It may lack some of the highlights of Roomsound, but Quicksand/Cradlesnakes makes up for it through consistency and pacing. Califone still explores the shadowlands between acoustic and electronic sounds, but the experimentation is more focused here, more in support of the song. The duo of Tim Rutili and Ben Mansarella remains at the group's core, but longtime Califone collaborator Brian Deck sits this one out, and as a result Quicksand/Cradlesnakes has a sparser, less-textured feel than its predecessor. The clinking, clanging, buzzing, and scraping are still present, as well as the occasional burst of controlled feedback -- something that has followed this crew since the days of Red Red Meat.

The American Analog Set- The Golden Band

Picture this. It's an overcast Sunday morning, and its been raining since last night.You're on the couch, wrapped in blankets, warm, comfortable, watching the water making endless patterns on the window. You have an amazing view of the outside, it's calm and you're quietly contemplating about life, the events of the week, that girl you liked. Gradually, everything feels alright. You're centered. You're at peace.
