Shalloboi - dandelions (USA 2009)

A new SHALLOBOI album for you to enjoy! That's what I call good news!

Thank you, Tyler Ritter, for sharing!

All songs were written by Tyler except 'sleep now...' (by tyler ritter/traditional) that contains verses from 'goodnight irene' which is in the public domain
.

Personal is:

tyler ritter = guitars, voice, 6-string bass, bass, percussion, loops, hammond organ 


stefanie goodwin = drums, voice, percussion, glockenspiel


billy speer = cello


christopher gagnon = violin


andrew royal = violin on 'glasslands'

recorded from april 2006 to april 2009 mostly at the panda room - chicago, il and at billy's apartment and house- kansas city, mo

SHALLOBOI sound like a crossing between SIGUR RÓS and MÚM (and a bit MY BLOODY VALENTINE). Also to my mind comes JULIE CRUISE. So if you like those artists YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT!

"Dandelions" is even more quiet than "Down to Sleep" (from 2008). It has that exquisite relaxed sleepy feeling that makes you feel comfortable all the way, though this very atmospheric music sometimes is quite mellow, even melancholic...

Excellent album, excellent band! In fact one of my favourites from this blog...

Don't forget to check out the older post.

Favourite track: 'field of flowers'
