bearing the elements on TBD records (2009)
Not a lot of spare time this week, but it's my intention to keep the music coming. To start, here's the newest album from the Alaska-by-way-of-California group, Port O'Brien. Threadbare is the band's third full-length, and it mostly picks up where the other two left off: with gritty and bucolic folk-rock songs, inspired by the husband-and-wife duo of singers Van Pierzalowski and Cambria Goodwin's, and the members' day-jobs as crabbers, bakers, and fish-cannery workers. Art definitely reflects life, here.
If you find this album to be your cup of tea, I'd strongly recommend picking up their previous records, The Wind and The Swell and All We Could Do Was Sing. Both will make the winter a lot more bearable.
