Other Lives - Tamer Animals - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Based in Stillwater, Oklahoma, the band comprised of Jesse Tabish (Vocals/Guitar/Piano), Josh Onstott (Bass/Backing Vocals), Jenny Hsu (Cello/Piano/Backing Vocals), Colby Owens (Drums/Lap Steel) and Jonathon Mooney (Piano/Guitar/ Violin) has been playing music together for over five years, but only recently adopted the name Other Lives. With an organic, orchestrated sound that incorporates elements of progressive rock, folk and classical music, Other Lives draws it's inspiration from a similarly wide array of sources from historical events to the landscape in which the members grew up. The band recorded an EP and forthcoming full-length album in Los Angeles with producer Joey Waronker (Beck, the Eels, Lisa Germano) and engineer Darrell Thorp (Radiohead, Outkast, Beck).

Limited 180gm yellow colored vinyl LP pressing. Released in 2007, Antisocial Tendencies was their fourth album, and features InchAntisocial TendenciesInch, InchShadowsInch, InchTwo Blue BirdsInch and InchOnce Too OftenInch. Fronted by brothers Peter O'Doherty and Reg Mombassa, Dog Trumpet have been playing, writing and recording their music since the early 90s. Reg and Pete were founding members of iconic Australian band Mental As Anything, who hit the charts around the world with InchLive It UpInch. The band made a mark with their left field mix of music, art, video and humor and leading eventually to ARIA awards and induction into the Hall of Fame in 2009. Recorded and produced by Peter at home in his 'South Road' studio, the brothers have created an inventive and original body of work distinguished by an eccentric and offbeat harmonic warmth and melodic drive propelled by Reg's distinctive slide guitar and Peter's elegant acoustic guitar and mandolin. Their poetic, yet at times absurdist lyrics are set against a sonic backdrop that could loosely be described as a meld of rock and roll, psychedelic folk, country and semi-abstract blues.
