Editorial Reviews

"There's this Kurt Vonnegut quote--'Just because some of us can read and write and do a little math, that doesn't mean we deserve to conquer the Universe,'" says Portland, Oregon piano-Creep-Pop singer-songwriter Rachel Taylor Brown. "But I deserve to conquer the universe, and goddammit, so do you. That's what this album's all about." "Just kidding." The title of Brown's new album, "Half Hours With the Lower Creatures," comes from a 1918 marine biology textbook she picked up at one of her favorite bookstores. The title and its implicit declaration of species superiority was the perfect umbrella for a collection of songs about the centuries-old, tragic-comedy of human desire to be king, and to rule over something, anything.
