Umbra: West

Read "West" reviewed by Ian Patterson


American road trips have long inspired writers, from Jack Kerouac, John Steinbeck and Tom Wolfe, to Hunter S. Thompson, Robert M. Pirsig and Bill Bryson.

Wooden Shjips: West

Read "West" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

However, the musicians do seed familiar turf into an identifiable group-focused line of operations. Perhaps a throwback to the '70s, due to Farfisa organ sounds and dreamy ...

Lawnmower: West

Read "West" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

Lawnmower: West

Read "West" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


I componenti di questo quartetto sono artisti d'avanguardia trenta/quarantenni che per formazione, esperienza e produzione musicale si collocano in un'area dove le usuali etichette (jazz, rock, elettronica, ambient ecc...) sono inopportune: i generi sono così amalgamati che è impossibile separarli uno dall'altro. Il nome più noto è il bostoniano Geoff Farina, eclettico chitarrista già leader dal ...

Lawnmover: West

Read "West" reviewed by Troy Collins


Drummer Luther Gray explains in the brief liner notes to West, the debut of his ensemble Lawnmower, that the album is an attempt to reconcile the various genres he has worked in throughout his musical development.
