They Consist Of Peter Walker Vocals Guitars Drew Phillips Guitar Garrett Deloian Bass And Chris Reynolds Drums . Storytelling Is A Universal Human Instinct. Biographies Of The Recently Deceased Are The Saddest Form Of Storytelling That Most People Will Ever Know. People Are Remarkably Good At It. Even Those Prone To Shyness Or Believing Themselves Mealy-Mouthed Find They Can Get Their Lips To Move Well Enough To Describe A Few Snapshots From The Life Of The Dead. Albums Like The Various Camera Angles Of The Funeral Eulogy Are Like Scenes Of A Movie. Albums Are The Writer's Chance To Tell A Story Ten Times Over From Ten Different Angles To Ten Different Melodies. Abundant Is The Creation And Deferment Of Hope Innumerable Questions Of What Keeps Lovers Apart What Keeps Him From Getting It Together Why She Screws Up Every Time. A Resourceful Writer Will Rise And Strike Down Hope Constantly Put People Out Of Love And Into The Acrid Glare Of Lost Trust A Couple Times Confess A Dozen Of His Own Sins While Hiding Behind The Writer’s Mask Take Revenge On Enemies And So On. All The While Touching The Brush To The Canvas - As The Pointillist Does With Stabs Of Color - Dotting Guitar Chords Barroom Piano Hits Pump Organ Swells…. Eulogies' Peter Walker Does Just This On The Band's Debut Collection. With His Voice Dipped In Reverb He Gently Reminds Us Of The Pre-Histrionic Honesty Of Elvis At Sun Studios. With Chris Reynolds' Drums Pulsating At His Back Walker Lays Out His Ten Scenes. "We're All Swimming In The Bottles Of Our Own Accord " He Intones In "Can't Relate." Elsewhere In "Under The Knife " He Confesses "pleasure Comes Without Control …I’m Scared To Love What Death Can Touch." Another Song “Useless Amends” Tells A Lot In Its Title Alone. There’s A Saying That A Single Artist Is Fine But A Group Has Genius. This Is True Of Athletes And Certainly Of Musicians. Eulogies The Band Was Formed On The Road Bombing Around America In A Late-Model Maroon Dodge Van Supporting Starsailor. On That Tour Walker Then The Single Artist Fused Together With His Backing Musicians Over The Course Of 30 Shows In 40 Days. They Developed That Unspoken Musical Trust That All Great Rock And Roll Bands Must Have. They Became A Band The Group With Its Potential Of Genius In Any One Of A Hundred Truck Stops Dozens Of Late Nights In Motel Rooms In Between Telephone Busy Signals And Botched Driving Directions At Sound Checks And In Dressing Rooms. Upon Returning To Los Angeles They Mixed Together A Group Of Chiseled Songs That Only These Three Could Sink Into So Easily. The Songs They Laid Down In The Studio At The Direction Of Walker And Co-Producer Hrishikesh Hirway From The One AM Radio And Mixed By John Goodmanson An Intimate Of Sleater-Kinney And Blonde Redhead Will Be Available This Fall On Dangerbird Records. read less
