Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

"Swamp Noir" is how Robert Fisher and his colleagues in this Bostonian collective once described their music and it's as good a phrase as any. Above all, their third--and best--album is moody, atmospheric music of monumental proportions. One moment it can help you visualise the wide-open spaces of the western deserts, in the next you're in a dank warehouse comforting Fisher's baritone-voiced laments. Mojave is distressing yet consoling; gloomy yet enlightening. Above all, however, it's the rich textures that they achieve through employing virtually every conceivable acoustic instrument that makes this stand out above the Sparklehorses and Sixteen Horsepowers of this world. They know how to make things sparse and in "The Work Song" and the entirely gorgeous "I Miss You Best" they have songs that can never ever be eradicated from the listener's memory. Mojave is quite simply one of the most moving and captivating albums...ever. --Tim Perry


CD Description

An interesting mix of jangly roots rock and country with '60s psychedelia; the dominant feel here is a sort of rueful melancholy. Front man Robert Fisher employs vaguely sepulchral, Nick Cave-ish vocals, and has a fondness for lyrics like "Everything's fallen to pieces, and nothing stays the same".Predominantly acoustic instrumentation adds to the gloom.
There's a hint of Fisher's noise-rock roots in the album'stwo prominent curveballs. "Go Jimmy Go", is a bracing pieceof pop punk which juxtaposes Lou Reed-style solo lines withRamones-like rhythm guitar, and the concluding "The Visitor" is a fuzz-drenched drone that sounds like the Velvet Underground with their amps turned to 11.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality throughout with real mood and atmosphere, 28 Jul 2000
By michael.reardon@cwcom.net (Stockport england) - See all my reviews
I had never realy heard WGC before,,but what a treat! The new west was never better..all darkness, texture and mood...not an electronic device in sight and conjours up images of the American west ...even in Stockport (which is some feat!)
