Comment:
it makes no surprise
altogether Tarred Brigade comes out from Baltimore, Maryland, USA
because of representing either a
second or a
third wave of the New Weird
America movement. For instance, all of us used to recognise the fact
Animal Collective came initially out from this city though musically
Tarred Brigade is a bit different, a
bit more countryfied case.
It is recorded on a 4-track recorder being rustic and majestic at the
same time, being abrasive and hypnotic at the same time, being
bucolic and solemn
simultaneously. Its droning
earnest halation being frequently mixed up with psychedelic templates
may remind more of such combos as Espers, Six
Organs Of Admittance, and
Children Of The Drone (the last one is an improvisational combo from
Exeter, UK). For
sure, additionally to the aforementioned folk element there are also
up certain indie facets and the downright Americana tradition. On the
other side, at
I Fear An
Eclipse the listener can
figure out a combo
to be influenced
by a British act called Penguin Cafe Orchestra. The
only (format-based) problem is about the amount of the tracks
represented over there. In my folder there are up 6 tracks in
comparison to the amount of 4-tracks at Free Music Heroes (it is
devoid of such compositions as
Haunting
the Majesties!, and
My
Jewish Blues). It might
be these are the hidden ones while one is downloading the release.
Outstanding issue in any
cases.
