Some tracks to sample from the new Golden Smog album that came out today.
What's the one CD that will totally remind you of the Summer of 2006?
Possibly this one, which I just bought this morning:
I'm listening to it right now. So far I like it a lot, though it's fairly light on the Jeff Tweedy (he's stretched pretty thin this year what with Golden Smog, Loose Fur and the next Wilco record.) Lots of Gary Louris, though, which fine by me.
Golden Smog are very much a summer kind of group to me; their music has a certain open, golden-sheened quality that I associate with the summer months-top down, chrome spinning, that kind of thing. Golden Smog's first record reminds me of the summer of '97, paired on a cassette tape with Son Volt's first.
Damn, they're blowing up. In the interview, Patterson Hood discusses the addition of Shonna Tucker, the first woman to grace the Truckers' line-up:
“Shonna joining was one of the easiest things that’s ever happened,” says Hood. “She’s a phenomenal musician and a really cool person. As far as having a girl in the band goes, I think we’ve always had girls in the band.” His eyes glint. “We just finally got one who’s female.”
DBT are touring the UK and Europe in April, then head back to the states for a co-headlining tour with Son Volt, a tour whose exact format is still a mystery.
