Wire Waltz - The Last Town Chorus (Format: CD (2007))
SamplesFrom CDUniverse:
On their second album, Last Town Chorus continues to weave a hypnotic web of sound that revolves around singer/lap steel guitarist Megan Hickey. Hickey's ethereal, gauzy vocals recall Mazzy Star at their dreamiest, while the slow burn of her instrumental work conjures a desert-dry Americana suggesting a collision of early Cowboy Junkies and the acid-and-molasses arrangements of vintage Red House Painters. If that sounds like a humdrum experience, consider Hickey and company's transformation of the Bowie pop gem "Modern Love" into a luxurious lament. Any band that can successfully retool a Bowie classic is worth waiting for.
Picked this up today. Really Like it.
