A very interesting review of our CD:
BY CINDI ROBINSON
QstandsforQ
In Dreams Awake
Recorded at home
Mixed and mastered by Bruce Kirby, Jason McFarland, Hyrum Summerhayes
Eden’s Watchtower Records
QstandsforQ = PJ Harvey + Loveage, Belle & Sebastian + and slow Folk Implosion
The recording of this atmospheric two-piece band is nearly flawless. It’s loaded with layers of keyboard, acoustic guitar, and ambient background jams. Topped by sexy, ethereal female vocals (Sara Payne) and simple Roger Waters-esque counterparts (Jason McFarland), they deliver a Mazzy Star heroin-induced disc fit for the next David Lynch downer. Best way to grasp this record is to slip on some headphones while sipping coffee and smoking cigarettes. There is a missing element of percussion that would add to the guts of this overall folk/worldly-stylish group. There isn’t anything too memorable about these songs as they flow in and out of each other with hook-less beats and empty structure, and it leaves me wanting more. Regardless, I’d sport this album next time I give my man a loving massage.
