October 2007 found GAH in Washington, D.C., recording at Silver Sonya studios with Chad Clark (Beauty Pill, Smart Went Crazy), Devin Ocampo (Medications, Faraquet), and TJ Lipple (Aloha), who the band hoped would help them audibly infuse the enthusiasm and youthful energy of their live show and contextualize all of the different components of their new record. After two weeks of feverish recording, a robbery at gunpoint, and the unexpected illness of Chad Clark, a record emerged.

This is the companion EP to the band's first full-length, "Alphabet Graveyard" (street June 3), and the follow-up to their well received self-released debut EP "The Rules Were Handed Down". "Matches" retains the emotive melodies and tasteful arrangements that have been the most endearing components in the band's sound, but marriages of big rock drums and lurching organs to start-stop rhythms and jangly Motown guitars underpin a diverse new direction.

Their full-length debut retains the tender and emotive melodies and impeccably tasteful arrangements that have always been the most endearing components of the band's sound, but new explorations of everything from reggae-infused rhythms to jangly Motown guitar flourishes find a home here. Solemn folk ballads, epic mood pieces, and infectiously danceable pop find themselves on common ground.

Gentleman Auction House initially began as a new musical endeavor for St. Louis native singer/songwriter Eric Enger, but has gradually blossomed into a seven-piece collective, providing a sonically saturated accompaniment featuring a variety of instrumental textures - from piano, organ, and auxiliary percussion, to flute, trumpet, and bowed guitar. Ranging from spirited guitar romps and unrestrained percussive fanfare, to down-tempo introspections and swelling declarations, each song claims its own identity   [ read more ]
