So, Friday mornings in Autopsy’s world are really exciting because Miles of Music updates their weekly release page complete with sound samples. Well, this morning there is a band called Medford’s Black Record Collection on there….Intriguing name for sure but it was the album title that really peaked my interest: The Flattville Murder Album. Oh shit! I had to read the MOM description!
The intense interplay between Matt Foster and Michael Davis gives this dark, foreboding album of murder ballads its body. This is small town Gothic where secrets are kept and revealed. Flattville Murder Album is a concept piece, running 71 minutes, cast against the harrowing acoustic sounds of an Appalachian apocalypse complete with banjos, fiddles, Dobro and piano with an occasional foray into folk-rock. In an musical era of songs as a single unit, Medford’s Black Record Collection have created an musical essay complete with beginning, middle and end. The tale is dark. The journey is worth the nightmares that might ensue. — Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (self-released)
Done! I did not even need to listen to the sound samples…but I did AND THEY ARE AWESOME!…Straight to the myspace site for more songs…
Order placed. I can not wait for this cd to show up next week….goddamn I hope it gets here before we leave for Alabama.
Check ‘em out…I do not think you will regret it.
