The Ghost of Fashion
I've never really gotten the alt-country
thing. I mean, can a band from Brooklyn really be country band,
or are they just a pop-rock band that happens to write lyrics
about Elvis and play violin? Drenched in horns, violins and
slide guitar, these guys come off as an esoteric and less goofy
Cake. The album itself is so packed
with memorable but unfashionable tunes that they have bent the
space-time continuum and have come back to pin the cool-meter.
They'll always be known as the band whose song "Moment
In the Sun" replaced the Foo
Fighters' "Next Year" on the show "Ed"
for a season, only to be relegated to obscurity the next year
when "Next Year" returned. |
