Doug Tuttle - Peace Potato - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Robert Schumann's Gesänge der Frühe (Songs of Dawn) for Piano, Op. 133 performed by Edith Picht-Axenfeld.

2014 solo from the former guitarist for New Hampshire Psych outfit MMOSS. As one of the principal songwriters in MMOSS, Tuttle was integral in honing that band's signature sound of West Coast bummer harmonies wrapped taut around a sinewy and dreamy collision of hazy Psychedelia and motorik Krautrock. As the band dissolved, Tuttle began writing his way through the haze. There is definitely a bittersweet narrative going on throughout the record but with the strength of every single track the listener becomes the willing accomplice. Tuttle deftly forges a sound that all his, weaving nebulous jams into masterfully crafted pop gems. There is also heavy introspection here leading one to consider other artists who were terrific as the member of a band but that really excelled when they began releasing material under their own name.

Outside Music is proud to Doug Paisley's debut album, InchDoug PaisleyInch, originally released in 2008 by No Quarter Records.An album of folk songs that represent the American malaise. Sure, Doug Paisley is Canadian (Toronto, to be exact) but so was Neil Young and four-fifths of the Band.1 What About Us?2 Broken In Two3 Digging In The Ground4 A Day Is Very Long5 Last Duet6 We Weather7 Take My Hand8 Wide Open Plain9 Take Me With You
