Search - Naysayer :: Deathwhisker

High brow, introspective bedroom smart-pop album from Cynthia Nelson (RETSIN, RUBY FALLS) who plays drums, sings, plays guitar, recorder, harmonica & melodica, & newcomer Anna Padgett who writes & sings the words & plays guitar. They are joined by Tara Jane O'Neil (RETSIN, SONORA PINE, RODAN) who plays guitar & bass & handled production/recording duties, Tara Key (ANTIETAM) plays guitar on one song, & Ida Pearle (RETSIN, IDA) who lends hauntingly gorgeous strings to 2 songs. AnnaÕs delicate strumming reeks of a veteran, and her lyrics embody the wisdom we need to laugh at ourselves (in horror). CynthiaÕs drumming is creative and involves other tools, like melodicas, tambourines, etc, as well as her familiar harmonic warbling. Breathtaking songwriting, a sleek & scary analysis of existence hidden in truly enjoyable tunes
