Avant Folk,
By "andy_webber" (Richmond, IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 1981-1984 (Audio CD)
This compilation has seen the light of day largely due to increased attention to Loren Mazzacane Connors, though his role in the duo is understated and lacks the strength of his current playing. This material followed Connors' self-released solo, acoustic improv work, and is much more restrained, with the focus on Kath Bloom's contributions. That said, the songs are fine examples of avant folk, pleasant and with a subtle edge. There are no real shocks here, with the duo deconstructing the country blues to get at a vaguely depression-era sound, but retaining an undeniably 'folkie' feel to the music. Compared to Suzanne Langille and Loren Mazzacane Connors' '1987-1989' the collaboration with Kath Bloom pales in comparison. On the compilation of later material, Connors uses the electric guitar to stunning effect, isolating notes to create a haunting atmosphere. Despite the comparison, '1981-1984' is an interesting look at the progression of one of the most important contemporary musicians around and a decent listen.

Come Here,

I am pretty sure that Kath Bloom's COME HERE was in the movie BEFORE SUNRISE. It is a haunting amazing song.If that is the song on this CD then that alone makes it worth it. waynehazle.com |
