Aislers Set, The - How I Learned To Write Backwards (Lost & Lonesome) CD

A breathtaking journey through the Aislers Set's intriguing musical neighbourhood, in which the interweaving streets and pathways offer a present-day glimpse of such revered notables as Phil Spector and Dan Treacy. This San-Franciscan posse of proud musical revisionists have taken their classic sounds and delivered a bold statement of where they are heading. From the colourful girl-group chime of opener "Catherine Says", to the brash punk energy of "The Train #2", to the sparse aching minimalism as evidenced on "Unfinished Paintings", there is a rare quality of songwriting on display here, humbly delivered and wrapped up in soul, all strung together by Amy Linton's off-the-cuff, ice-cool vocals.

Tracklist: "Catherine Says", "Emotional Levy", "Languor in the Balcony", "Mission Bells", "Sara's Song", "Attraction Action Reaction", "Through the Swells", "The Train #1", "The Train #2", "Unfinished Paintings" and "Melody Not Malaise"
