Since his last album of new material (2011’s Sad Man Happy Man), he released a covers album, two live records and an album’s worth of re-recorded Soul Coughing songs, after distanc- ing himself from that material for years. Bringing us to Stellar Motel, in stores this week. Doughty’s last few releases have been fairly lo-fi and stripped down. You could tell he basically recorded in his apartment with a guitar and a drum machine. Stellar Motel gives his sound a good shake-up, by incorporating the most Rap influence into his songs since the Soul Coughing days. Doughty worked with indie Hip-Hop producer Good Goose on Stellar Motel, which essentially goes back and forth between straightforward guitar tunes and Hip-Hop tracks. The album kicks off with the great lead single “Light Will Keep Your Heart Beating In The Future,” which is built around an ominous banjo sample. Much of the record alternates between classic solo-Doughty-sounding songs such as “When The Night Is Long” and “These Are Your Friends,” and wackier Hip-Hop collaborations like “Oh My God Yeah Fuck It” (which reminds me of a certain Amanda Palmer chorus) and “Let’s Go To The Motherfucking Movies” (featuring an almost Les Claypool-ish bass part). Multiple guest rappers appear throughout Stellar Motel, trading off verses with Mike on “Let Me Lie” and “Pretty Wild.” Aside from “nerdcore” rapper MC Frontalot, all the guest rappers are off-the-radar obscure voices. In fact, there might be a few too many unfamiliar voices on the album, especially in the back half of the record. Longtime Doughty collaborator Andrew “Scrap” Livingston’s cello sounds wonderfully spooky over the beats of “To See The Sun Come Down” but Doughty pretty much takes a back seat to rapper Jay Boogie on the song. Stellar Motel ends on a high note with the optimistic “Better Days Come Around.” After two decades of music making (Soul Coughing’s debut album celebrates its 20th anniversary this month!), it’s great to see Doughty still experimenting and musically mixing things up.” - YNotRadio.com review Coming up: 9/22: Cage The Elephant “Cigarette Daydreams”... 10/6: Elle King “Ex’s and Oh’s,” Run River North “Excuses,” Damien Rice “I Don’t Want To Change You,” Bear’s Den “Above The Clouds Of Pompeii” RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY UPDATE - 9/17/2014
