Cautious Clay - KARPEH - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Nick Reinhart, guitarist, and singer of cult favorites Tera Melos / and a frequent musical contributor to Death Grips and Portugal. The Man has created a new project under the moniker Disheveled Cuss. A departure from the innovative and very technical/ambient compositions he's known for, Disheveled Cuss lives somewhere in-between early Weezer and Teenage Fanclub with a heavy 90's indie rock influence. Reinhart is a prolific musician; with four Tera Melos LPs and contributions to the aforementioned bands above, he also just wrapped up playing guitar in Best Coast as part of the house band of Fred Savage's new TV show, was a member of supergroup Big Walnuts Yonder (Minutemen, Wilco, Deerhoof), one half of the duo bygones along with Zach HIll (Death Grips, Hella) and more. The self-titled debut album Disheveled Cuss is an accomplished new turn and an exciting indicator of things to come from Nick Reinhart. 1. Generic Song About You 2. She Don't Want3.

Given it's color by a pastorally evocative scoring of oboe and small orchestra, the Idillio Concertino lives up to it's name with calm and gentle cantabile writing throughout in Wolf-Ferrari's most neoclassical vein. The composer's declared idol was Mozart, and all three of these works seek to recover something of a timeless beauty which many locate in Viennese Classicism. InchWhen a piece of music touches our heart,Inch said Wolf-Ferrari, Inchwe do not need to understand why it does so indeed it is something that should not be understood, even were it possible to do so. We do not need to be botanists to perceive the beauty of a forest! In art, it is sentiment, not reason, which determines our reaction. Art does not desire an audience of initiates, a congregation of the faithful, but a pure and open heart.Inch This newly recorded album is for every listener who feels likewise. The solo instrument for the Suite-Concertino is the bassoon, but the dreamy mood prevails in the long-breathed opening Nocturne, which is followed by a quick, strumming scherzo, a lovely heartfelt Canzone and a gentle concluding Andante. This pair of concertos from 1933 is complemented by one of Wolf-Ferrari's best-known instrumental works, the four-movement Serenade for Strings which dates from a full 40 years earlier, before the composer embarked on an operatic career. In this precociously mature work- written at the age of 17- Mozart is even more clearly a guiding light, as indeed he was for the composer's contemporary Busoni, who lends his name to this chamber orchestra based in the northeast of Italy.
