Mice Parade: What It Means To Be Left-Handed (FatCat)

Mice Parade: What It Means To Be Left-Handed (FatCat) - Rearrange the letters of Mice Parade and you have Adam Pierce. Along with his cohorts, he skips around the world, refracting highlife, flamenco, Brazilian jazz, noise-pop and more in a gloriously elaborate array of sound. Guest vocalist Caroline Lufkin (aka Caroline), drummer Doug Scharin (Rex, Codeine, HiM) and classical guitarist Dan Lippel further the mélange of intricate percussion, layered guitars, keys, effects and voices. Warm, inviting and Nearly Highly Recommended. Play 1 2 3 4 7 11 12

David Karsten Daniels and Fight the Big Bull: I Mean to Live Here Still (FatCat)

David Karsten Daniels and Fight the Big Bull: I Mean to Live Here Still (FatCat) – Richmond's own nonet Fight the Big Bull join San Francisco based folky troubadour David Karsten Daniels for a modernistic take on the poems of Henry David Thoreau. The poetic marriage of traditional hymnals and country with adventurous jazz arrangements of clarinet, saxophones, trumpet, trombones, bass and percussion yields a multi-dimensional album that’s rewardingly harmonious and complex.
