4.0 out of 5 stars
A Sunday Morning Spectacular, August 21, 2005
This review is from: Somber Wurlitzer (Audio CD)
Some CD's are meant to be listened to during drives to work, some for drives home from work, some for making love and some for making dinner.
Somber Wurlitzer is a perfect fit as background music for my typical Sunday mornings of cathing up on e-mails, paying bills, fixing breakfast and reading the newspaper. The "Cowboy Junkies, 'Trinity Sessions'" and "REMs, 'Automatic For The People,'" now has some competition.
"Missing Summer" is my favorite track. I love the trumpet break, pretty damn sweet.
This record is definately growing on me.

Does what it says on the tin, May 18, 2005
This review is from: Somber Wurlitzer (Audio CD)
Somber Wurlitzer is a competant release from Long Beach's Greater California. Hints of Ben Gibbard, William Hut, and even Brian Wilson could be detected in the soft, sometimes understated vocals and vocal melodes. Accompanying those melodies is a fairly typical indie pop ensemble, wholly dominated by (believe it or not) a Wurlitzer.
Jangly strings, rising and falling tambe, and thouroughly solid songwriting make Somber Wurlitzer a standout effort for a local indie band.
