Her solo debut, Rabbit Fur Coat, is an alluring alt-country disc wrapped in warm-and-fuzzy sentiments and more southern charm than you would expect any L.A. hipster to have. The disc kicks off with the old-time gospel ‘Run Devil Run’ with Chandra and Leigh Watson providing a capella harmony as rich as a Mississippi mud pie. The spirit of Sunday mornings of yesteryear also pervades such tunes as the plaintive ‘Born Secular.’ Lewis’s heavenly voice - which at times channels Laura Nyro - is deceptively soulful on songs such as ‘Melt Your Heart,’ an achingly beautiful ballad on which she sings “When you’re kissing someone who’s too much like you / It’s like kissing a mirror / When you’re sleeping with someone who doesn’t get you / You’re gonna hate yourself in the morning.” Preach on, Jenny.” Rating: 3 1/2 out of 4 stars Gomez gets love from Tripwire Mat Kearney selected as “When a band gets to their fifth studio an AOL Breaker artist! album, you'd think that they might be running out of steam. I mean, five Watch for is quite a bit, especially in the span of nine years. To stay relevant and fresh over that massive amount of time, a band must have some amounts of mind-blowing musicianship. In the case of Gomez, they have more than enough, online which overflows throughout their brand exposure new album. The latest offering from this this quarter! British quintet is a fantastic collection of pop songs, titled How We Operate. This is a departure for the band, who up until now have always self-produced their albums. For the new record, they brought in their first ever outside producer, Gil Norton. Known for his work with See the live show for yourself: the Pixies and , Norton has helped the band make a truly career-defining album. From the opening seconds of "Notice", it is Matt Nathanson hits the road obvious that this is a very special record. 4/3 Vienna, VA (2 shows) Beginning with softly brushed drums and 4/4 Philadelphia, PA (show will also be a light acoustic guitar line, it slowly builds broadcasted by WXPN) to a chorus overflowing with harmony as the song swells to a climactic 4/6 Boston, MA end. What a way to kick off an album! "See The World" sounds as if it 4/7 Providence, RI was written in Tennessee while sipping on moonshine, embracing a 4/9 New York, NY (2 shows) sing-along chorus against the backdrop of shuffling drums and a 4/10 Bridgeport, CT mandolin. The hints of country influences are not overpowering, which 4/11 Chicago, IL (2 shows) makes for a smooth transition into the title track. A dark guitar line is 4/15 Dallas, TX joined with the plucking of a banjo, which leads us to 's 4/17 Houston, TX slightly throaty vocals and eventually an eruption of electric guitars. 4/18 Austin, TX While the songs are always full of instrumentation and melody, Gomez 4/19 San Marcos, TX always manages to keep the perfect balance of full-on rock moments 4/20 Rochester, NY with the subtle, more melancholy acoustic passages in their songs. This 4/22 Westfield, MA is rock perfection. The band doesn't shy away from great pop songs, 4/24 Sayreville, NJ such as the catchy "Girlshapedlovedrug". Picking my favorite moments 4/25 Burlington, VT from this album is just too damn difficult. From the hillbilly meets Pink 4/27 Bristol, RI Floyd guitars on "Chasing Ghosts With Alcohol" to the orchestral, cinematic "Charley Patton Songs", I have no problem calling How We 4/29 St. Louis, MO Operate absolutely brilliant. Longtime fans of Gomez have always 4/30 St. Cloud, MN known howgreat the band is. Now it is time for everybody else to see 5/1 Madison, WI how special they really are.” 5/7 Princeton, NJ For up-to-the-minute AAA news... RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY READER - 4/5/06
