Thursday, 29 May 2008Dempsey and the DC9's on Mahuta records Dempsey Eight Days of Rain Mahuta Records Quantity Pressed: 300 Release Date: 19th May 2008 1) Eight Days Of Rain 2) Your Touch 3) Rebel of the rebel Dempsey released a solo album in 2006 entitled Sunrise/Sunset, which was an eclectic mix of electronic slow dance funk and folk. It seems these days he's moved away from the soundscape dub cutups and recruited the DC9's to support a more classic rock blues sound direction. This permanent backup band adds an alive growling rock feel to this particular single released this last week. Eight Days of Rain seems like that direction that the Raconteurs took with Broken Boy Soldiers, something of a retro upgrade. They're taking that kind of classic rock sound full of punched up grimey organs and backwards guitar solos and building on it in the studio with ultra produced sounds. Released from the grip of the White Stripes, Jack White and friends could get at unexplored directions. There's plenty of that going on here in it's unabashed comparisons. There's surprisingly still relevance in the genre, but it's going to take a new approach to get anywhere untred. Dempsey, a NYC transplant, sings through a slightly distorted layer of bad luck metaphors along with samples and electronics which are still present in this latest incarnation but seem organically woven into this bluesy dub song story about black cats and killing spiders. With only 300 hundred pressed it's going to be a rare one indeed. Labels: Dempsey, Mahuta records
