Artist:	PREWITT, ARCHER
Title:	Three
Label:	THRILL JOCKEY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	THR 108CD

"Prewitt is an accomplished illustrator, comic artist (Sof' Boy is published by Drawn and Quarterly.), guitarist for the Coctails and The Sea & Cake. Inspired by Emmett Rhodes, Roy Harper, Beatles, Impressions, and the Bee Gees, Prewitt writes classic pop tunes. Three is Archer's most refined effort to date. The romantic sentiments and lean arrangements of his classic pop tunes should not be mistaken for simplicity. Such assumptions would ignore the serious craftsmanship of his songwriting and performance. It is a credit to the considerable talents of Prewitt (producing, performing and writing) that Three bounces along effortlessly."

Title:	Wilderness
Label:	THRILL JOCKEY
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	THR 149CD

"Prewitt's guitar work is integral to the sound of his other band, The Sea and Cake, as it is for his solo work. However, here on his own, Prewitt manages to find an entirely different tone and timbre. Compared to his previous releases, the songs on Wilderness are primarily spare with more focused and refined arrangements. These leaner settings highlight Archer's vocals and more personal lyrics. 'O, KY' addresses the loss of Prewitt's father, 'No More' and 'Way of the Sun' reveal bleak post-9/11 melancholy, 'Go Away' seems like a swan song, and a number of the others continue with Prewitt's love affair with love affairs -- the good and the bad."
