Synopsis

Album Description

Sugar Hill Records is proud to announce the upcoming release of Feast of the Hunters' Moon, the debut album from Portland, Oregon-based Black Prairie. Featuring three-fifths of The Decemberists and two of the city's finest folk stylists, the heavily acoustic debut was produced by Tucker Martine (The Decemberists, Death Cab for Cutie) and embodies the rich sonic landscape of the Portland music scene while integrating the diverse backgrounds of its members. As described by dobroist Chris Funk, the band's sound "bridges the music of Clarence White and Ennio Morricone" in a way that defies genre characterization.

CD Reviews

+1/2 - Three Decemberists (plus two) add folk, gypsy and cla

hyperbolium | Earth, USA | 04/14/2010

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This release debuts the collaboration of three Decemberists (instrumentalist Chris Funk, bassist Nat Query and accordionist Jenny Conlee) and two players from the Portland scene (violinist/vocliast Annalisa Tornfelt and guitarist Jon Neufeld). Though the instruments are mostly common to Sugar Hill's bluegrass and string bands, the results are quite different. Tornfelt's violin slashes and haunts and together with Chris Funk's bazouki and Conlee's accordion adds gypsy touches to several songs. Tornfelt can also bow with the ferocity of a classical player and with Conlee and Neufelt creates a fetching invitation to the floor in "Tango Oscuro." Two traditional numbers (the moody "Red Rocking Chair" and the atmospheric closer, "Blackest Crow") are interspersed among mostly instrumental originals. The group gets downright rootsy on "Home Made Lemonade," but it's one of only a few tunes that will remind you this is released by Sugar Hill. 3-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.
