?The angular indie rock trio Guv'ner formed in 1993 as an outgrowth of the romance between singer/guitarist Charles Gansa and singer/bassist Pumpkin Wentzel. After the couple moved to New York City, Wentzel gave a demo tape of the group's off-kilter pop to Pussy Galore/Free Kitten member Julia Cafritz, whom she had known since elementary school; Cafritz subsequently passed the tape to Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, who ultimately issued Guv'ner's debut Hard for Measy for You on his Ecstatic Peace label.

?Spectral Worship is one of those rare releases that take familiar, traditional aspects of pop and rock music and reorganize them in a way that's wholly new; the album is a frequently brilliant combination of acoustic guitars, assorted tone waves and other varied sounds, drawing them together into minimal but highly dynamic and well-constructed pieces in a beautifully rustic, desolate ballad style. Even when the band uses fuller, more traditional rock instrumentations, their inventive sense of organi   [ read more ]
