TOM CAUFIELD - Shallow Breathing: The Archive Series Vol. 2 |
Here is Volume TWO from Tom Caufield after a most successful Volume One for many of you on reading this. Fresh, interesting, hooky guitar pop with interesting lyrics and uplifting energy and each CD not only professionally manufactured it manages to have each one have custom, hand-drawn(nicely done!) art work for the entire package - something that usually does not go together. Not sure how many of these have been made, but I gather not many so don`t hang on the fence too long is our experience. The songs on this collection travel in different parts, but I hear plenty of Bill Lloyd (Track #3 below), later-day The dB`s(track #4 below), "Tim"-era Replacements and Jaime Hoover and all kinds of bands and artists making meaningful music in the North Carolina area the last 20 years(they just have their own sound). Everything we said about Volume 1 pretty much applies here in that these collections had him trolling through over 100 songs he`s collected over the years and they end up being a trove of fascinating pop music that does not play by the rules and really searches out interesting musical contexts and melodies not usually played around with by most artists. The 16 songs here are their own reward and it is Very Highly Recommended!
