Editorial Reviews

Creating aural landscapes that are at once lush with intimacy and tinged with bittersweet cynicism, the Cucumbers have been making inventive and quirky pop songs for nearly two decades. Anchored by husband and wife team Deena Shoks and Jon Freid, the Cucumbers have built a solid and devoted following, garnering praise from critics and fans since the mideighties. Now, with the addition of bassist Kurt Wrobel and drummer Steve Villano to round out the lineup, the Cucumbers are happy to present their sixth release, "All Things to You," mastered by Roger Moutenot (They Might be Giants, Lou Reed, Yo La Tengo). Adding undertones of disquiet to velvet vocals and intricate guitar textures, the Cucumbers craft an intriguing mix of sibilance, rust, penance, joy, and modest ecstasy. The album features more than a handful of emotive gems - subtly jaded, up-beat odes to love and the working class – that make "All Things to You" the Cucumbers’ best work to date.
