This is quite a pleasant album, with some admirable songs on it. At its best, it reminds me of Wilco ("Devil when you cry"), Tom Waits ("Sweden slow"), and a MOR David & the Citizens ("Angels fable"). What I don't really like about "Sirkus" is that, unlike Jeff Tweedy, Tom Waits and David Fridlund, the singer's (Gustav) voice is way too uncharacteristic and - to be blunt - plain. I prefer a more personal touch than the Jeff Buckley-light vocals that Gustav and the Seasick Sailors offer. Other than that, this is a solid release, worth checking out if you like your singers to sing "properly".

Tons of new stuff in stock from Marilyn Records in the webstore, including the new Gustav and the Seasick Sailors album "Sirkus". As with all IAT preorders, buy it early and save a dollar. I've also got restocks of The First Miles for those of you out there fixin' for a dose of Danish Americana. I know that's an oxymoron, but roll with me on this ok?
Gustav and the Seasick Sailors have posted three new songs on their myspace page: http://myspace.com/GATSS
The new album "Sirkus" comes out March 9.
New mp3 today from Gustav and the Seasick Sailors. I started selling stuff from their label Marilyn Records in my webstore recently, but I only recently got a chance to really give their bands a good listening. Achordian and Shooting John, the other two bands on the label, are both kind of countrified pop (indiepop with a twang?), but GatSS has more of a driving powerpop feel. It's similar to countrymates David & the Citizens in that they're both the creative outlets of their singer/songwriter frontmen, but at the same time, it's also a band effort. Change the backing band and it most certainly would not be the same. "Charlie Fay" is the band's most recent single, a first taste of what's to come on their upcoming album "Sirkus" which is due out on March 9. Looking forward to it.
