Mercy Machine - Orlando

Mercy Machine are purveyors of darkly confessional and intimate songs. Orlando is taken from their latest album The Devil I Know which delves into the issues of the no-longer-young years in which affectations have become habits, youthful skepticim has hardened into jaded cynicism, and the prospect of romantic love starts to seem so complicated as to be nearly impossible. Jazno Francoeur and India Turner's quietly poignant songs are structured as loose recitations with subtle harmonies and a plaintively beautiful cello backdrop.

The Potato Eaters - Befriend Me and Run Through With Daylight

From San Francisco, the Potato Eaters combine the dual-vocal tradition of Jefferson Airplane with solid groove oriented rock, with shades of jazz and progressive rock thrown in. Singer/bassist Ben Guy played with Snakefinger for years, and vocalist Laurie Amat has recorded with the Residents. Option magazine noted of this CD:

This is like late period Talking Heads with Bill Frisell as a guitar player, quasi-ethnic rhythms and rubbery, fretless bass lines backed by constant washes of heavily processed guitar.
