Two Gallants Gramercy Theatre NYC, 10.2.07: Sentimentalist Magazine Live Review
Any band that can cook up a whole tent-revival’s worth of down-home Southern-inspired racket the way that Two Gallants do onstage deserves the rapt attention of the audience. And these two country boys-by-way-of-San Francisco garnered due reverence from their New York throng at the Gramercy on Tuesday. It’s a religious experience they offer [...]
Cass McCombs - “Dropping The Writ” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
The initial three tracks suppose a talent the likes of a Peter Gabriel; each track having a distinct aesthetic and identity, a quality perhaps only replicated by huge talents and huge personalities. The quaint production, moving delivery, and unique harmony arrangement throughout the remaining lift or demote Dropping The Writ from the level of [...]
Moving Units - “Hexes For Exes” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
Moving Units’ latest has the swagger and sneer of the most iconic rock, combined with catchy, sexy, melancholic dance riffs recalling classics from New Order to the Cure. Opener “Pink Thoughts” is dramatic yet focused, with guitars that remind me of favorite Chameleons songs of yore. Miraculously, even with all these 80’s references, Moving Units [...]
MV & EE With The Golden Road – “Gettin’ Gone” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
There’s no shortage of revivalists playing southern rock with the confident, ribald swagger of our 21st-century authority over the best of 20th-century classics. MV & EE, however, have a particularly rough and ready approach, unconcerned with containing those perfect shards into two minute distillations of the originals, instead leaving exuberant flashes of noise and [...]
Mariee Sioux - “Faces in the Rocks” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
Become one with all of nature with Mariee Sioux’s tale of the Faces in the Rocks as she connects all the elements of life within several Native American-inspired tunes. Mariee’s youth is second-guessed in her incredible earthy wisdom and stirring poetry, bringing mystical forces to join the power of nature. Each song demonstrates the infinite [...]
Ken Andrews and Charlotte Martin, Knitting Factory, NYC, 10.03.07 : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
The Martin-Andrews house in California must be an entertaining place to be a fly-on-the-wall. On one couch you have Ken Andrews, a celebrated multi-instrumentalist producer/frontman/solo artist, and next to him, his improbably gorgeous, opera-trained, former Miss Teen USA contestant, piano-pounding wonder of a wife, Charlotte Martin.

Glasgow’s Sons and Daughters return with their second record on January 29th, 2008 with The Gift (Domino), produced by former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler with quite a surprise — they’ve gone and made a pop record! We’re told The Gift has “pulsing rhythms, riveting, virtuoso guitars, hand claps and harmonies, grasping choruses and gripping [...]
The Libertines Release ‘Best Of’ on December 4
Our beloved fearsome foursome (Pete Doherty, Carl Barât, John Hasall and Gary Powell) from Albion were so much more than likely lads, or three other dudes in a band with one paparazzi target. And on December 4, Rough Trade will remind us why The Libertines deserve another listen, and more ears and hearts than [...]
