They first bonded on a shared appreciation of Cream and other classic British blues acts, but their interests soon moved on to artists that were more melodic but still with prominent and layered guitars, including Neil Young, Jellyfish, Wilco, and Teenage Fanclub. 1/The Appleyard Sessions (2CD)ĭescription: Ameoba Teens core members Mark Britton (rhythm guitar and keyboard) and Mike Turner (lead guitar) met as teenagers and have been writing together for nearly two decades. COMES WITH AN EXCLUSIVE BONUS EP CONTAINING 4 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED HOME DEMOS!! GREAT!!!.
Turn it up." - "A quick listen to their new offering is enough to remind you of this Scottish trio's ability to produce jaunty slabs of mesmerising melody: a trait they displayed in abundance during their first incarnation in the late 90's".
Frankly the month of September just got a whole lot better, and it hasn't even started yet." - "I love a song like 'Cartoon Eyes' with a middle eight that surprises, and when it’s surrounded by pure chorus sounding curiously like Elastica’s 'Waking Up' being covered by Blue Oyster Cult, I’m sold. "These high-flying Scots are right on the verge of takeoff for their second LP. This is the sound of a band who have lost none of their sense of youthful exuberance. Fast forward 10 years and Aerial, re-tuned and re-grouped, began writing the follow up which resulted in their new record, which picks up right where their debut left off.
#NEIL YOUNG DISCOGRAPHY KAT SERIES#
Following a series of line-up changes the group disbanded later the same year. Their debut album, "Back Within Reach", was released in 2001 by Japanese label Syft Records. Formed in the late 90's, they soon came to the attention of London-based Fantastic Plastic Records who released two highly acclaimed EPs by the band in 2000. Happily, the loose performances more than suit these ragged compositions, turning Barn into a snapshot of this moment in time: a bunch of old friends in isolation, finding solace and comfort in the noise they can still make.Why don't they teach heartbreak at school? + bonus discĭescription: Scottish power-poppers Aerial are back with their sophomore album (and Kool Kat label debut) that proves that the band has lost none of the infectious energy, pop hooks and West Coast harmonies that defined their sound the first time around. Alternately cutting and corny, Young's songwriting feels impassioned to the point of diffusion: the songs aren’t so much crafted as delivered. As for Neil, he's living in the moment, pondering his civic duties as a new American citizen (he coins the term "Canerican"), worries about the state of the world, wonders what future generations will think of the wreckage today's population leave behind, yet never forgets to hold onto love. He nimbly follows Young's lead on both the rockers and ballads, decorating the open-ended ramble "Welcome Back" with unexpected flourishes. Lofgren can crank up his amp but his gift is empathetic support. The setting gives Crazy Horse a lot of room to roam, enough to make it clear that this version of the Horse isn't as heavy-footed as the one with Poncho. Naturally, the barn is also where Crazy Horse recorded Barn - a process documented by Hannah on an accompanying feature-length documentary - and the building also seems to be part of the record itself, providing a homespun warmth and wide open spaces. Like Colorado, Barn is heavily informed by Young's new surroundings in the Rocky Mountains, a place where he restored an old barn with his wife Daryl Hannah. Nils Lofgren, the guitarist who Sampedro essentially replaced back in 1975, returned to the fold on Colorado, the 2019 album which feels like a cousin to Barn. As it roared out of twin speakers emanating from the house and barn, producer Elliot Mazer asked Young how the playback sounded, Young hollered back "More Barn!" It's hard not to think of this tale when faced with Barn, the second album Young has made with Crazy Horse after the retirement of guitarist Frank "Poncho" Sampedro. Young ushered his friend into a rowboat, as he wanted to listen to his new album Harvest while lazing about on the lake. One of the great Neil Young stories concerns a visit to Young's ranch by Graham Nash.
