John Vanderslice - Emerald City
2007-08-20 18:20:00 John Vanderslice has been quietly amassing a brilliant catalog of meticulously arranged, beautifully recorded and heart-wrenching records over the past seven years. ‘Emerald City’ is the natural culmination of his last two records, artistic narratives about the current state of affairs in the world that highlight our deep insecurities and paranoia. It?s heady subject territory, ...
John Vanderslice: Emerald City
2007-08-07 01:49:00 John Vanderslice: Emerald CityFormer mk Ultra front man, John Vanderslice releases his sixth solo record on Barsuk Records.The native Floridian has become somewhat of an existentialist. While the original existentialists questioned existence after the dropping of the atomic bombs, John Vanderslice questions existence after 9/11.The major difference is tact. John Vanderslice questions existence while constantly referencing 9/11 and the post-9/11 political climate. It is sufficient to say, he's a real downer.Six years after the attack on the World Trade Center, John Vanderslice is the only person still writing 9/11 songs. Some bands have taken it upon themselves to still write political songs which is fine, but writing about 9/11 six years after the fact is a bit obsessive.Emerald City isn't a terrible album though. Musically, Vanderslice does some great things with his "dirty lo-fi" style. From the opening acoustic track "Kookaburra" to the lo-fi jaunt "Time to Go", he does g...

John Vanderslice - Emerald City
2007-07-08 16:31:00 A fan of Led Zeppelin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Kinks, and Southern rock when he was a child, taking the power of his songwriting from David Bowie, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, King Crimson, XTC, and early Genesis, John Vanderslice has released five studio records by now. New record Emerald City (out July 24) is a lovely album while resting on seaside (believe me i tried this). Moreover it's a great choice for a sunny, beautiful Sunday. He is developing well-educated pop sound, and i recommend his Cellar Door record. If Cellar Door (2004) is ok for you, then you should listen to the other records of him. Musically, the songs from Emerald City are clean, nice and easy to get. They are fueled by an era of deep insecurity and paranoia; they develop in front of a backdrop of ritualized and mythologized current events. Lyrically, John Vanderslice's characters and storytellers track Manifest Destiny from burning wagon wheels to two-bedroom homes with full amenities in Bakersfield, C...

John Vanderslice - Emerald City
1970-01-01 00:59:00 Ik piekerde deze week over de vraag of ik al eerder iets van deze man had gedraaid. En zo ja, wat dan? Was het misschien deze verzamelaar of toch zijn eerdere album Pixel Revolt. Misschien verwarde ik hem met een...
