From the softest, most gentle campfire songs to the stringed wall-of-sound rock ensemble, "Let Us Garlands Bring" glides easily, without pause, across a many-layered terrain, like a film projected against a stucco wall just left of the steer-skull and under the Christmas lights; while a feud breaks out at the family reunion, the band plays on, stonefaced and unaffected in the most committed way. It's the stuff of real human drama. Frontman Dan Burton delivers his songs in his slightly affected, though nonch   [ read more ]

While the album is filled with death and ghosts of all sorts, it's unifying theme is the individual's ability to escape the death and ghosts. Even the making of the album was plagued by ghosts and phantoms. Recorded at the Old Mt. Gilead Church - recently revamped into a recording studio and still immediately surrounded on three sides by a dozen acres of 150-year old cemetery - principal tracking for All Harm Ends Here was halted for days at a time on multiple occasions when inexplicable ghostly flut   [ read more ]

On this third album by Early Day Miners, the band set out to make what they referred to as "a rock record," one with shorter, succinctly-structured songs,to be recorded mostly live at principle songwriter Daniel Burton's studio in Bloomington, Indiana. They did, in fact, accomplish each of their established criteria. It's interesting, though, how different folks interpret the term "rock." The album does indeed take Early Day Miners one step further in the rock direction. Burton's vocals are still hushed,   [ read more ]

On this 6 songs exclusive release for Acuarela (the sonograph EP), Burton's vocals are still hushed, yet ever more confident. Song structures are more concrete and still present is the ever-patient cadence with which Burton, drummer Rory Leitch, guitarist Joe Brumley, bassist Matt Lindblom and violinist Maggie Polk take on the songs. The arrangements, while sparse in comparison to past records, still feel lush, which shows the marks of a life-long appreciation of classic Red House Painters or American Music   [ read more ]

What happens when a band of resolute perfectionists make their most accessible and upbeat rock album - a departure so startling, you almost want to call it 'their pop album'? When Early Day Miners loosen up, it's almost a different band. The complex layers and atmospherics are still there, but front-and-center on The Treatment are insistent basslines and straightforward melodies on multiple organs and guitars. One of the poppiest here, 'So Slowly,' manages to combine a buoyant Cure bassline, a wah-wah solo    [ read more ]
