Signalmen - Falsetto
Teeth
When the debut Signalmen album
was released a few years back we made much mention of their
twin guitar attack, a la Television, which maybe obscured
our enthusiasm for their SONGS. Gear Magazine picked
up on the band's charms observing, "
twangy guitar
lines and mellow drums propel the melodies
Signalmen
come off as odd, unique and intelligent." Sticks & Stones reinforced
the theme commenting "
how the band combines interwoven
guitar figures and off-kilter pop hooks to create something
unique." We're on to album #2, Falsetto Teeth,
from this Champaign-Urbana quartet. Featuring the songwriting
finesse of Mike Brosco and Steve Burton, Falsetto Teeth also
includes the playing of drummer Jeff Evans (Turning Curious),
bassist Tim McKeage (Outnumbered, Weird Summer), and June
and the Exit Wounds' Todd Fletcher who adds keyboards to
four of the twelve tracks. |
