Thee Speaking Canaries

Songs For the Terrestrially Challenged (Scat)
by Joshua Brown

Eight-foot waves of guitar strings crash onto a beach of spontaneous drumbeats. Somewhere underwater is a guy singing like the vocalist for The Damned. The mood is dusky (i.e. not light, but not entirely dark). If this review seems ambiguous, it’s because that’s exactly how I feel listening to it. I’m sure there is an audience for this type of thing, but I’m not ready to join them right at the moment.
