The Pernice Brothers

Ashmont Records, 2003

REVIEW BY: Jason Warburg

Now here's a band that lends itself to metaphor.

With taffy melodies that stretch and twist, the Pernice Brotherslay dreamy guitar licks over a steady backbeat as Joe Pernice'sbreathy tenor leads the way, a lighthouse beacon cutting through athick fog.

Or did I mean similie? Listening to this band is like listeningto the Jayhawks on an acid bender, to The Band through a spinningkaleidoscope, or to the bastard child of the Byrds and Roger Watersexorcising his every romantic demon.

Psychedelic Americana? Spaced-out jangle-pop? Yup, that too.
