Free Music Notes for Palo Santo
Free Music Review: OK, Computer Like-and that's saying something!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I remember the exact place and moment I heard the sounds of OK Computer for the first time...and that rush of euphoria which overcame me, the uncontrolable chills that ran across my arms listening to it. I will never forget that moment I realized I would be comparing all bands to the bar that Radio Head set. If you are reading this, and you can relate, or perhaps shared in this experience I am talking about here...then prepare yourself for that same type of musical journey. This is not a Radio Head wanna be band! In fact, they are not similar instrumentally-they just posess equal talent. Can I give a better compliment? And this is why Shearwater's Palo Santo did to me those very same things OK Computer did to me. Shearwater has put out something magical here-this album is a utopia of beauty and musical genius. Without question, this band is the most underappreciated band in the music industry today. Get this album, no matter the investment, and you will never regret it.
Palo Santo Poster
Austin's Shearwater debut on Matador with a completely refurbished edition of their critically acclaimed 2006 album. They re-recorded five of the eleven tracks and added new cover art, deluxe packaging in the form of a gatefold digipak inside an O-card, plus a bonus CD containing eight additional tracks, all for the price of one CD. The music is a soaring, vast, multi-instrumental song-cycle. The vocals and songwriting recall bands as diverse as Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry and late Talk Talk, but this is unabashedly rock music, anchored by Thor Harris's mighty Bonhamesque drums. "Almost impossibly majestic and beautiful" - #1 CD of 2006, Stephen Thompson, NPR.Once a side project of the woefully underappreciated Okkervil River, Shearwater's Palo Santo staggered enough listeners upon its initial 2006 release that singer and bandleader Jonathan Meiburg re-recorded much of the album for this expanded edition. The band has created a far more vivid, upfront, intense aural experience in the re-make. "Nobody" is still a brittle, eerie whisper (like the title track) with a wafting haze behind the guitar and voice, and "Seventy-Four, Seventy-Five" sports a ringing piano behind Meiburg's voice and a horn chart that recalls Neutral Milk Hotel. The most staggering moments find Meiburg going off the rails, bellowing where he once sang warm, yearning high-arcs-particularly in the album's stark opening moments and during "Hail, Mary," with its rush of electric pianos and hard-vamping thwacks as the singer barks across the top. Now Meiburg and Will Sheff need to balance their time--and their electric pianos, guitars, banjos, glockenspiels, and assorted scrabbling sounds between their magnificent other band, Okkervil River, and this tremendous ensemble. --Andrew Bartlett
