- Man, I forgot just how great The Van Pelt’s Sultans Of Sentiment still is. Hard to believe this album came out eleven years ago…I feel old. For fans of Pavement, Karate, Les Savy Fav and Sonic Youth.

I am listening to Pedro The Lion’s 2002 album, Control, for the first time in years. I had forgotten how amazing this album is. This is Pedro The Lion at their most plugged in and rocking. Control showcases David Bazan’s religious themes at their most cynical and desperate state. Bazan’s work is that of a Christian who is questioning his faith at every twist and turn. It makes for a fascinating journey and Control is in my opinion, Pedro The Lion’s finest hour. Where the hell did Bazan disappear to though?
“I feel the darkness growing stronger
As you cram light down my throat
How does that work out for you
In your holy quest to be above reproach?”

OK, so I know who Martin Dosh is. I have seen him in person drum for the great Andrew Bird on two seperate occasions. He is an amazing drummer to say the least. And I knew that he had his own project as well. So, why have I waited until now to check it out? Frankly, I don’t have a good answer. Wolves And Wishes is Dosh’s new album and it is full of mathy, jazzy instrumental greatness. I feel a bit stupid as this is Dosh’s fourth album now. Oh well, better late than never I guess. I’m on my way to check out the first three albums now. I suggest you climb aboard if you have not already done so.
I swear I have been writing a review for Pomegranates new album, Everything Is Alive all week. I just can’t stop adding more instead of actually finishing the review. This is an album that took a while to hit me but when it did…wow. The band has truly grown leaps and bounds since their debut EP last year. I really can not say enough about how great this album is. Neck and neck with Antlers as my album of the year so far. Look for the review next week. Hopefully, I can do it justice.
