"Jet Ear Party, Jonathan Kane's second full-length release, is a masterpiece of raw, ass-thumping Americana that shakes the meat right off the bone. With guest appearances from members of his live band, February, Kane barrels into these eight tracks like a freight train. He lunges at breakneck boogies and tom-driven swamp stomps with equal abandon. In a radical departure, he tones down his mojo long enough to accommodate female vocals for a breathlessly sexy, overtone-drenched soul ballad. Kane even pilots hardcore R&B a la Wilson Pickett into the Creedence bayou for a sweat-soaked cover of Sly Stone's 'Thank You Fallettinme Be Mice Elf Agin' -- and it's got a freak-out bagpipe solo that would make The Stooges proud. Seriously, he's not holding anything back."

Artist:	COLLECTIONS OF COLONIES OF BEES
Title:	Birds
Label:	TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS/RADIUM
Format:	LP
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	TOE 818LP

On white vinyl. "Now available on vinyl! Collections Of Colonies Of Bees sweep in grandly, in billowing swarms of sound, bourn aloft on a thousand wings of minuscule, elegant detail. Guitars chime and soar; deft yet intensely focused percussion propels towards an inevitable dawn; covering it all is a gossamer veil of subtly nuanced electronica. Their CD Birds is joyous, epic minimalism in exquisite registration, a sound that is dazzling -- and as sweet as honey taken straight from the comb."

Title:	Secrets From The Storm
Label:	TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS/RADIUM
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	TOE 820CD

"Guitar lines gather and mass like a blue sky filling with storm clouds. A flicker of lightning here and there, a steady thump of thunder in the distance, coming closer and closer. It takes awhile, so long, in fact, that you can almost be lulled by the patterns that form, the bits of sun that fight through the thickening shadows, the way the air crisps, the breeze playing the leaves like a zither. And the voice, like a ghost, or the radio late, late at night, echoing from an old rusty car in an abandoned junkyard, the dials twisted to an obscure AM frequency. Secrets from the Storm is a unique collaboration between singer-songwriter (and guitarist for Jonathan Kane's February) Peg Simone and writer Holly Anderson. Poetic shards of raw-knuckled memoir are inspired by everything from the Harry Crews novel The Gospel Singer to Memphis Minnie. The epic opener 'Levee/1927' goes far beyond its sources -- Memphis Minnie and Led Zeppelin -- by turning its premise into a gripping tour-de-force of penumbral willies, sepulchral gasps, sensual jellyroll swagger, and bristling slide guitar that flashes up like a steel wolf trap in the moonlight, by turns furtive and brutal, as if the Velvet Underground had taken Albert King as a mentor instead of Andy Warhol."
