Search - Andy Rinehart :: Pillbox

Andy Rinehart's newest is a long time in coming but exhibits the time spent through its crafted arrangements. True to Andy's previous releases this is the work of a rock songsmith with a penchant for the composer's approach. String and wind players occasionally join band members Matte Henderson (guitars and programming), Gregg Sulzer (drums) and Walter Strauss (guitars), who weave amongst Rinehart?s quirky-organic programming and multi-instrumental performances. This is a record where mandolas, accordions and oboes commune with subterranean grooves and aggressive guitar noise-scapes all disguised by songwriting that could almost be mistaken for pop.  Quirky, organic and loopy; intricate, cinematic and orchestrated; sensitive, aggressive and honest, this album leaves only a few musical corners unexplored.  Warning: moments of above-average chord count may cause disorientation.  It deserves mention that this new album by Andy Rinehart also serves as a mini gallery! for visual artist-collaborator Keith LoBue who's numerous otherworldly works underline and comment on the musical and lyrical content.
