WALTER SICKERT & THE ARMY OF BROKEN TOYS: Casualty Menagerie

MOOD AREA 52: Remember This Dream
This album takes their acoustic demo of the same name and fleshes it out with acoustic/roots songs that draw from tango, folklorico, country, bluegrass, and irish traditions.

ANTIC CLAY: Hilarious Death Blues
A slow dark ride across the scorched hide of America. Think Johnny Cash riding a skeletal mule to Hell. Not without moments of beauty and hope, however. An audacious DOUBLE CD.

HOPE FOR AGOLDENSUMMER: Ariadne Thread
If one were to stumble upon this with no CD cover or photos or myspace editors, one would think: What part of Appalachia is this, and how can I get there?
