Clocking in at over an hour, this brand new release features thirteen narrative driven songs that sit on a classy bedrock of gothic-tinged country, swampy blues and Memphis soul and rock. This latest release also marks the twenty-fourth year of a long, complex and sometimes under-the-radar musical career. http://www.victorkrummenacher.com/bio Blaschke writes songs as beautiful as they are restless. Her tunes often bubble with melancholia but refuse to wallow. The instrumentation is mostly sparse here, but to call her instrumentation minimal and her compositions soft is misleading. That Blaschke’s dreamy, airy, singular purr is perhaps the most affecting instrument in the mix is a testament to the sheer vitality of her recordings. -Nat Bourgon Desert Varnish, recorded in January 2011, was produced and engineered by Joshua Grange (KD Lang, Dwight Yoakam), featuring Grange on lead guitar, Ian Walker (KD Lang) on bass, Steve Nistor (Sparks, Sparklehorse) on drums and Jebin Bruni (Aimee Mann) on keys. The album is a return to her ethereal vocal roots, since her last full-length, Of Honey and Country on Go Midnight Records, released in 2007 under the band name Night Canopy, with multi-instrumentalist Nick deWitt (Pretty Girls Make Graves). Paul Knowles and Nicole Storto spent most of the last decade performing and recording as Mars, Arizona, winning fans with their original brand of cosmic Americana. Like many other American towns, Mars, Arizona recently disappeared, forced to move on after four well received albums. "Like the vanishing American family farm, it became too expensive to run the family business," Knowles says. "The town was auctioned off and we became NewAmerican Farmers." On Brand New Day, Knowles and Storto continue to showcase their evolution as songwriters intent on celebrating the essence of the American experience with all its contradictions and complexities. There’s a pleasant sort of disorientation that comes with listening to New American Farmers’ Brand New Day. There are a number of times throughout the album’s 11 tracks when your head’s going to snap around and your brain’s going to tell you that you know that song – even though it’s the first time you’ve ever heard it. Right off the bat, “Everywhere” frigs with you in the nicest of ways: the grinning banjo bounce and the easy glide of the harmony vocals are as vintage Byrds as The Byrds could be – not an imitation, you understand, but that vibe … Of course, some of that can’t help but happen: that’s the legendary Gene Parsons playing that banjo, boys and girls – a Byrdman himself from ‘68 to ’72. But those harmonies? Those are straight from the throats and hearts of New American Farmers’ core duo, Paul Michael Knowles and Nicole Storto. Vocal weaves like this are a gift to hear; Storto and Knowles dole ‘em out left and right all through Brand New Day. Big Eagle AKA Robyn Miller **Scorpio Sun~Gemini Moon ~Taurus rising Formerly of The Peels (Capitol Records) Hear Robyn Miller sing, and it’s clear she has country in her heart and something wild in her veins. It’s there in the tender folk ballads and the free-spirited rockers on her debut full-length, “Willow Creek,” which she wrote and recorded as Big Eagle. Miller is singing what she knows. The daughter of an artist and a naturalist, she grew up among the towering redwoods of Humboldt County, California. And even though her path took her far afield from her rustic roots, they still bubble up in her songs, along with hints of the many adventures she has had along the way.
