a quick set of reviews...

i have downloaded a bunch, but haven't listened a bunch, which seems backwards... inkwell chaos reveals rhyme - picking up where he left off with my hotel year, travis (lead singer) is vocally much stronger and his pop sensibilities reside comfortably on his sleeve with his heart. this is poppy deliciousness with some guts. the glass is half awesome is my favorite song, so check it out. also visit them at their myspace page. goblin cock bagged and boarded - what a brilliant name, and the album cover is great as well. this project features rob crowe of pinback fame and has a very unique sound. sort of a dirgy musical feel with his piercing tenor cutting through, makes for an interesting dichotomy. portugal. the man waiter: "you vultures!" - formed from the remnants of anatomy of a ghost, portugal. the man borrows heavily from that sound and produces a very technical musical underlay with melodic, harmonious, and at times dueling, vocals. very good listen and highly recommended by this writer. myspace page.
