"Begun in 2005, the New York City based Bowery Boy Blue is excited to be following up their debut EP Give the Kids What They Want with their first full length Stalk That Myth this spring. Coupled with the lyrical craft of Stalk that Myth is an exceptionally strong musical cast. Violinist Megan Gould (née Weeder; of Stereofan and the Japonize Elephants) is featured most prominently, arranging and playing three of the four pieces in the string quartet that acts as a vocal counterpoint throughout much of the record. Drummer Jason Toth (Manishevitz, Edith Frost) emits a Pixies-like pulse on “They Sleep Standing Like Cranes”, and propels the record throughout. For the first time since 2003’s Three on the Tree, Zeb’s father and fan favorite Geoff Gould makes an appearance on dobro and banjo. Zeb himself plays all the guitars on the record, with the grace of his fingerpicked solo releases and a new stabbing electric energy."
This is an absolute must listen for fans of Neil Young and Songs: Ohia/Magnolia Electric Co. An incredibly tight americana lo-fi album that is an joy to listen from beginning to end. I couldn't shut up about this record last year and I continue to gush without embarrassment.
