Steamboat
Untitled release
Reviewed by Brian Vincent McGovern
This 11-song disc is worthy of major distribution, due to its top-quality packaging and production. But forget the outer layers. If we dig in, you'll be confronted with some of the most unique, and well-written music in the indie scene today. While "Delimma's End" is on the more mellow end, the whole of the record demonstrates what might happen when you take some guitars from Puller's first album, some songwriting from Stavesacre, and add a rich cello sound and a delicate flute. Quite a robust, yet refined, mixture. For info, write: The Red Crown Empire, PO Box 737, Denton TX 76202-0737
