| Spacey soul from Coultrain -- an up-and-coming singer from the St Louis scene, and one with a really unique sort of sound! The album's a wonderful debut effort -- far more mature and complex than you might expect, with a really cosmic feel that's somewhere between 70s spacey soul and some of the more future-thinking work from the recent Detroit scene -- yet all put together with a sense of timing and phrasing that's clearly Coultrain's own! Rhythms range from mellow and straightforward, to more complicated and angular -- and Coultrain's voice is often great enough on its own, but sometimes sounds even better with a bit of flanged-out production. And despite a low price on this initial effort, the album's completely top-shelf and full-length -- just put forward with a slightly reduced cost to stoke up a bit of interest in Coultrain. (But trust us, we would have paid the regular price for this one and been more than happy!) Titles include "Green", "Lilac Tree", "Screw", "Girl Of My Dreams", "Swimmin In The Stars", "Lost In Translation", "Playin Catch Up", "Self Pity", "Who R U", and "Endangered Species--DUSTY GROOVE review |
