| PRESS: CMJ Review Clap Your Hands Say Woot Woot! Sep 16, 2005 Let's all give a big hand to the following CMJ performers thus far: Frankie Palmer (his violinist, flutist, etc.) for showing us, on Wednesday at Rockwood Music Hall, that jaded L.A. still knows a thing or two about country music, even if Entourage's Adrian Grenier was the one passing around the collection bowl. Feist, for bringing down the house at the Knitting Factory with her soulful singing and uncanny knack for audience participation. Shiny Toy Guns, for urging the hipsters at Crash Mansion Thursday night to smile, shake their hips and do other un-hipster-like things in honor of dance. She Wants Revenge, for heating up Pianos without breaking a sweat. Dios Malos, for packing Scenic with teenage girls and bearded connoisseurs. And Britain's the Rakes for building massive buzz, killing every single practice set leading up to tonight's main event at North Six (11:00 pm), and still being generous enough to buy at least one CMJ staffer a beer. - Steven Chen, Associate Editor CMJ New Music Monthly BIO:Frankie Palmer's first solo album is an eclectic collection of original acoustic songs that draws influences from American Depression-era traditionals to ‘70s folk singers such as Neil Young, Paul Simon and Nick Drake. Not content with simple love songs or three-chord progressions, Palmer brings the listener through a lyrical, dream-like state of imagery and musical storytelling. ”Ships on the Ocean,” for example, is the story of a relationship gone astray from a secretive woman with a haunted past. ”Forgotten Nations” follows an outcast struggling to find his lost heritage, while other tracks, like “By the River,” are more reflective songs of wandering and self discovery. All of it is created through a multi-layered bed of lush dulcimers, guitar, banjos, pedal steels and whispered harmonies. Growing up in Eugene Oregon with a musical family, Palmer began playing guitar at the age of eight. After performing in a number of bands across the West Coast, he decided to start writing original songs. Within the span of a year, he recorded a full-length, self-titled CD with some help from his friends. Trevor Rager, from the bands Fairview and Western, co-produced the album and plays percussion; major-label recording artist Sisely Treasure of Cooler Kids contributes vocal harmonies; and Eels violinist Paloma Udovic joins in on strings. For Palmers' first show as a solo artist, he opened for up and coming Record Collection artist Simon Dawes, followed by a showcase in CMJ later in the year. He continues to play a number of shows across the west coast. |
