Re: Greater California, Somber Wurlitzer

Some music has been unfairly dissed by 'a blogger', though redeemed to some extent by someone showing at least some kind of benevolence, though not without caveats.

The Blogging Disser

The Redemptor

Honestly, I think this is really Quite Good Music - perhaps it's just that my expectations were so low, or perhaps it's my pathalogical contrarianism, but I'm struggling to find a song that I don't find at least nice to listen to, some going a good bit beyond (The Appearing, In Scarlet). There's definitely a bleakness about it, but it's an optimistic sort of bleak.

What I was most surprised by was the lack of anywhere to listen to the album. Google had nothing much in its video search, the web search returned more or less links to the scant video results. Fortunately, one solitary link to bandcamp was among the results.

Somber Wurlitzer on bandcamp

If you think that the theme for Trailer Park Boys is good, you'll probably like this. I can't give a more glowing commendation than that!
