From the Inbox

Time for some Monday music straight from the inbox.

Listen:
Bookhouse Boys - "Dead" (mp3)

The Bookhouse Boys are a band of 9! Their album is being released on August 19, 2008. This music is very dark to me, definitely rage filled. Perhaps it is just this song though. They have a lot going on in their music. There is a very 60s feel to it and if it weren't for the alarmingly dark and deep vocals it would probably be pretty decent.

The nine:
PAUL VAN OESTREN - Vox, Guitar
CATHERINE TURNER - Vocals
CHRIS POLLARD - Guitar
ZACHARY CAIN - Stand Up Drums
WILLIAM EMMS - Bass
J.P. FELLOWS - Keys, Roll Ups
HEDDY KORACHI-ALAOUI - Drums
NATTY DEFRIEND - Trumpet
CHARLIE BERINGER -Trumpet

Caught In the Trees marks the dawn of a new era for Damien Jurado as he's taken a giant leap forward lyrically and there's no turning back. Best known for his dark yet fragile first person fictional tales, Jurado now unlocks the door and invites us into his own enigmatic world with an energy and intensity that is all-consuming. This album comes out on October 27, 2008 in the UK (which also happens to be my brothers 25th birthday.)

*~*~*

David Vandervelde dropped out of the sky in early 2007 with the well-received indie classic The Moonstation House Band. That album more than lived up to its title's potential, providing a healthy slab of cosmic, primal rock boogie. While this debut was the product of Vandervelde being isolated in the studio, being allowed to follow his every musical whim, Waiting For The Sunrise is a product of a new sort of isolation and you'll find it in stores on August 5, 2008. After relocating from Chicago to Brooklyn, Vandervelde struggled to find his place in the new musical community. This seclusion led to most of the album being composed in his apartment on an acoustic guitar.
