New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Epigrammatic prose, entrancing moods and a waggish spirit wed on a new compilation titled "In Your Ears Ring The Bells of 1000 Carousels" (out NOW on CD and digitally from Factory Fast MixCDs) to give listeners a taste of indie aberrantance.
Title - In Your Ears Ring The Bells of 1000 Carousels
Genre - alternative / acoustic
Featured Artists - Shane Klein (Santa Cruz, CA), Cody Jeffryes (Carbondale, CO), The Cyrenaics (Richmond, VA), The Sour Dogs (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK), Grandpa Grew Trees (New Orleans, LA), White Fang (Portland) and Four Day Beard (San Luis Obispo)
Inky, brooding, and decidedly non-country and inspirited by artists like Devendra Banhart, Ali Farka Touré and
Nate Ruess this mix o' chime and knell transfigures intermittently into idiosyncratic dissonance. Fusing genres such as folk rock, folk foil, electric folk (and others), the instrumentation, tunings, voicings, phrasings, subject matter, and even production methods feel forthright (for lack of a better word) and there is something indeed very endearing 'bout the acts' ability to produce work striving for a high mark.
