Pinetop Seven The Night's Bloom
Empyrean Records
The Midwestern answer to Omaha's Bright Eyes, Pinetop Seven are quite
the
rotating band themselves. For this particular album, The Night's Bloom

integral beauty from all sides of the world.

01 Night's Bloom
02 Easy Company
03 Fringe
04 Fire Burns at the Foot of Our Bed
05 Born Among the Born Again
06 Mouthful of Expensive Teeth
07 June

10 Witness
11 Made a Whisper Out of Me
12 Comedy Is Ended
Highly orchestral with a jazz angle, this band is a detailed spectrum
of
nearly overqualified musicians piecing their work together from a
collage of
influences. There seems to be a Pete Yorn and Idlewild charm here,
making
remarkable first impresssions.
There is an incredible amount of things occuring on this record, let
alone
one song ('Fringe'). Like freshly falling snow, each individual
collides
with another, building upon each other to create a majestic
masterpiece,
much bigger than all its unique parts.
The band, which reaches out quite greatly now, had its epicenter in
Chicago
in 1996, from the mind of Darren Richard, multi-instrumentalist.
Ironically
enough, the band has featured members of Bright Eyes, Wilco and other
groups, mixing their newfound skills together, assuring an entirely
different approach with each album. (The Night's Bloom is their sixth
release.) And each track poses as a beautiful score to any musical's
soundtrack, rich with ideas and enchanting stories.
