Ways of establishing equilibrium Part .... Throw your windows open to the afternoon. Sit yourself down in front of your desk. Get yourself a glass of water to drink. Put your TV set on. Your musics on the TV set these days haven't you heard. Listen to something that Mojo or Uncut Magazine are recommending. They know what they're talking about. Today Wolf of St Elmo by Slow Motion Cowboys.
First of all - poetry. This is a record informed by poetry in terms of it rhythms and intentions. Slow Motion Cowboys is an evocative band name. It's up there. Cowboy Junkies, Neon milk Hitel Silver Jews. Grandaddy. That's the tradition Wolf of St Elmo slots into. Cleawater Swimmers from last year comes to mind too.
Anyway it's a fluid, beautiful record. The second of my weekend after Stereolab's Instant Holograms on Metal Film. The pace is easy, the times are gentle. Gram is somehwere tapping a toe. It's a record about passing through the delta, keeping the breaks off and s,iing at straingers. All in all an excellent album.
Yes, enjoyed this. Thanks Bruce!
