2009, Matador
After a five-year absence, Pavement guitarist and Preston School of Industry mainman Spiral Stairs (Scott Kannberg) returns with a heart-on-sleeve (but occasionally tongue-in-cheek) song-cycle about his complicated personal life. Spiral maintains his trademark melodic whoops and Flying Nun guitar licks, but overlays a layer of melancholy and wisdom, as well as a touch of Peter Green blues. Alert listeners will also spot Richard Thompson, Captain Beefheart and The Died Pretty.
The album was recorded in Australia with a diverse crew of talented people, including members of The Posies, Gersey, Ian Moore and others.
