Moth Wranglers - Never Mind the Context
Magnetic
Artist: Moth Wranglers
Title: Never Mind the Context
Label: Magnetic
P.O. Box 460816, San Francisco, CA 94146-0816
Format: CD, 52 minutes
Oh, it's so refreshing to come across this among the piles of, well, other
stuff that comes in. Moth Wranglers have a wonderful, unique sound that
borders on cabaret, goth and folk simultaneously, tongue-in-cheek depressing
(though never maudlin), incredibly beautiful and layered with unpredictable
song structures and sounds that always, always works. The cast of musicians,
under the direction of Chris Xefos and LD Beghtol, ranges in the
double-digits and includes such indie luminaries as Chuck Fiorello, Victor
Krummenacher, Stephin Merritt, Bill Tutton, and Jonathan Segal, all adding
to the lush tapestry of piano, accordion, violin, and more traditional
instrumentation that makes up this album, accompanied by both male and
female vocals at varying points and songs. Favorite parts for me, of course,
are the a cappella bits on the album, because the voices on this are all
just incredible, and it's nice to hear them separated from the musical bits
to truly appreciate how nice they actually are.
