Brewster

Brewster’s 'Honey Shake Me' is an album of transit, a collection of highway songs - there's a "welcome to" state sign at every track break. It was written on the road - chords and lyrics bubbled up for songwriter Mark Bucci in the liminal passage between tour peaks and gulfs, epiphanies at 15 mph over the speed limit. The songs formed from a driver’s seat while watching a whole country psychically tear itself asunder, white lines and stop signs beating a steady rhythm as the nation melted and warped, like a vinyl copy of "This Land is Your Land" left on the dashboard.

Now with up to as many as six members, they're a stone-cold, wide-armed band, welcoming any and all emotive music to gather under the tent. There's honky tonk heartbreak, the shabby charm of the Knitters, and the winter-road-salt-worn Winnipeg wryness of John K. Samson. "No One Told Us the Secret Yet" mentions a specific Wilco album by name. High and low: John Brion's Hollywood seven chords abound and track eight sounds just a bit like Lynard Skynard. "Countryside" has a synth part that would sound right at home on a Boards of Canada track, but the band slips in a reference to David Berman. Bruce's ecstatic shadow grows long in the late afternoon light - Brewster, too, believes in the transcendent experience of singing to a sweaty crowd. And above it all is Mark's voice, disarmingly sweet, at times angelic, smokey as a cheap casino on a hot afternoon.

The Bird Calls

When it comes to making records on a prolific and diligent basis, the New York City-based singer-songwriter Sam Sodomsky could give Neil Young a run for his money. Under the moniker of The Bird Calls, Sodomsky has recorded and self-released a staggering 30 albums over his music career. And that is in addition to his day job as an associate editor for the music website Pitchfork.*
