Dellessanna's Picks for 2006
The City's Finest, A Physical Adiction.
A strange mix of punk, opera and caberet...but I like it.
Songs of note:
~Operetta VII
~Hollywood
Melora Creager - Perplexions
A bit of a shift from her earlier work with Rasputina. It doesn't have the same strange victorian flare to it. But it is still a fun romp.
Songs of note:
~American Girl
~Girl Lunar Explorer
The Handsome Family, Last Days of Wonder
Country meets gothic. It's strange...but somehow works out very well.
Songs of note:
~Tesla's Hotel Room
The Ditty Bops, Moon Over the Freeway
Think a country home companion and you won't be far off. They excel at catchy melodies and even catchier lyrics.
Songs of note:
~In The Meantime
~Bye Bye Love
Neko Case, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
She has an amazing voice. And that is all I have to say about that!
Songs of note:
~Margaret vs. Pauline
~Star Witness
~Dirty Knife
Hungry Lucy, Before We Stand ... We Crawl
In truth there isn't much I don't like about this EP. The lyrics are clever and posh, and the vocals are just as rich.
Songs of note:
~Harvest
~Alfred (haunted)
~Fearful (live & unplugged)
Various Artists, Where's Neil When You Need Him?
A very interesting collaberation between Neil Gaiman and seventeen bands/singers. Probably my favorite Album that came out this year.
Songs of Note:
~Thea Gilmore - Even Gods Do
~Lunascape - Raven Star
~Rasputina - Coraline
~The Cruxshadows - Wake the White Queen
~Hungry Lucy - We Won't Go
She Wants Revenge- She Wants Revenge
Dark and irreverent to the point that it is humurous...
Songs of note:
~These Things
~I Don't Want To Fall In Love
Hem-Funnel Cloud
"It might sound like a backhanded compliment to say Hem makes lite-rock with a country twist. But before you conjure up images of Phil Collins with a cowboy hat, let's clarify by saying the New York band essentially picks up where the Cowboy Junkies left off--crafting intimate southern songs that unfold with quiet dignity over a bed of strings, pedal-steel guitars and restrained piano flourishes."--Aidin Vaziri
I honestly couldn't describe them better.
Songs of note:
~He Came To Meet Me
~Funnel Cloud
Placebo-Meds

Songs of note:
~In The Cold Light Of Morning
~Meds
~Broken Promise
