A Hawk And A Handsaw – The Way The Wind Blows
Here’s an unique, beautiful $3 score from Sonic Boom…
The 5th Annual Toronto Expedition Series, Part 33 (CD)
Forgive me for thinking this was a Geoff Berner record, full of accordion klezmer folk music and haunting, beautiful melodies!
This duo consists of Jeremy Barnes of Neutral Milk Hotel, and violinist Heather Trost (Beruit, also married to Barnes). This is their third record of this (largely) instrumental, Eastern European style.
Partially recorded in the Romanian village of Zece Prajini, it features members of Fanfare Ciocarlia. What a sound!
I didn’t know what to expect, but I liked this!

Wonder if it sounds like Beirut? I like them.

I dunno, I’ve never heard Beruit! Never been there either, come to think of it…

I know. He’s dangerous. He should come with a warning sticker.

I like their first one a lot, I was less excited after that.

First one is brilliant. Flying Club Cub and Rip Tide have their moments, but I don’t tend to revisit them… also didn’t like them enough to buy the last album.

They should print your comment up on a sticker on the record sleeve.

That… would seem to not be wise advertising, eh?

I’d respond really well to a bit of honesty, ‘Buy this one, it’s nowhere near as good as the last one, but its kinda okay’.

Haha that would rule. Kinda like Pixies when they released Indie Cindy. “If you don’t like it, bring it back for a refund!”

Haha! I’ll drop them and their label an email to say confirm I give consent to use it.

I only heard their self-titled album from, eh, 2002 (I think). Pretty good stuff.
