Mercy Choir - “His Noiseless Ball, His Boxwood Rattle" Review

2013 has been a busy year for Paul Belbusti who heads the Mercy Choir. A Connecticut Music Award nomination for "Best Other," a slew of splits and the birth of a son are some of his accomplishments this year. One would say he has his hands full. However, amidst a full year of rock and roll and learning to be a father, Mercy Choir has had the time to release a full length album which may be the final of 2013. (Although knowing Paul, he may release something before the month is over).

Herff Jones - The Mercury Floor

This review of Herff Jones' The Mercury Floor, was submitted by guest columnist Maxx Hillery. Enjoy his review below:

Herff Jones has recently released their second EP, The Mercury Floor, whose radically eclectic offering makes it even more challenging to place them within the comfortable confines of a genre. I honestly couldn't figure out where to place this band, maybe the strange lo-fi lovechild of The Hush Sound and Andrew Bird? No, probably not. The female singers’ voice is reminiscent of Haley Williams’, but their style is not (at all), especially during the more hard-hitting songs that sport a sort of experimental punk-influence. Regardless, the harmonies of the two singers work so well that I could not care less what genre they happen to place themselves in, which, as mentioned in CTIndie’s review of their last EP, is ‘Alternative Rock?’

Review: Herff Jones "War-Torn"

This quintet credits duende—a term I just learned from writing this review, it can be defined loosely as soul, thanks Wikipedia—as the origin of their songs. Herff Jones have recently put together a flavorful collection of acoustic and electric balanced tunes on an ep titled “War-Torn”.

Location:
Popeye's Garage
50 Goffe Street
New Haven, CT

7:30PM - $5

Adam Matlock dropped this info into the inbox:

There will be space heaters, but bring yer warm layers and yer booze and be repared to dance so we can all not die.

Squinch Owl is looking to make you feel better. She has a voice that, if you're not a robot, should make you cry or at least feel real nostalgic. She's got a new album for free download here: http://squinchowl.bandcamp.com/ but you should donate her money cuz this tour has been fraught with transmission problems so far.

Dr. Caterwaul's Cadre of Clairvoyant Claptraps is three errant, wrong-headed geezers (by comparison) who play odd assortments of folk/traditional music about murder and death. Cello, banjo and accordion makes the blues sound big and strange.

An Historic will probably play a couple of songs too.

There might be one more, TBA.
