Free Music Review: A blurry photograph
Hit: 4 Stars
This music is the real deal. It never sounds stagey or forced. It sounds like Oldham has lived these arcane hillbilly dirges. His voice sounds so weary and threadbare... a cracked, keening mountain tenor that could chill Ralph Stanley's blood. The songs are odd patchworks of post-modernist wanderings and reconstructed folk ballads. The band is wonderfully unprofessional, stepping all over each other and sounding totally off-kilter. The recording is homespun... that's what adds the emotional edge and works this disc deep into your heart. It's a blurry photograph of a ravaged landscape.Free Music Review: Good Job, Bad Plan

Pavement may have invented Indie but The Palace Brothers perfected it. The goal of Indie bands, of course, is to sound amateurish, and the Palace Brothers have it down to a science. From the crudely painted cover to the unwieldy album title to the ever changing name of the band, the Palace Brothers ooze that unfinished mastery that all Indie bands strive for. This album really sounds like a live album of a concert in your living room recorded with your old mono cassette deck. Even the vocals are to strained to be real, as if the vocalist blew out his voice singing in the parking lot of the Dairy Queen the night before. It really sounds like a tape you made when you were ten, but you have to ask yourself, do you really want to listen to that? The quandary of Indie is simply this, does amateurish equal good? In the end amateurish is just amateurish, and there is a reason that bands strive for `studio perfection'. If you're into Indie, you'll love it, no doubt, but if your into a more polished sound this album will not convert you. I did like the fiddle. Best tracks are `Idle Hands Are The Devil's Playthings' and (I Was Drunk At The) Pulpit'.Free Music Review: Actually he went to Brown

not Harvard. I liked the self-titled CD better, personally
