*the tracks "Baise Ca" and "Eda no Mel", can be streamed on the band's myspace page.ġ0/25 ANTONY AND THE JOHNSONS - you are my sister e.p. Here are two songs from Time To Dream which can be found on, , and iTunes, but the CD won't be in stores until January 2006. And continuing a decade old collaboration the two are joined by fellow musicians Shawn Lockie (vocals), Julie Carpenter (violin), Michael Whitmore, (vibraphone, guitar, banjo, mandolin), Laura Steenberger (upright bass), and Kyle C. The very experimental nature of Listing Ship comes to the fore on "Eda no Mel", a track, which to me sounds nearly entirely backwards.Īt the heart of Listing Ship are Lyman Chaffee (guitar, banjo, vocal) and Heather Lockie (vocal, viola). Violin is very prominent in the bands music and it's presense and the vocals are the ties (minor ties at that) to folk music. the thumping rhythms on tracks like "Chinese Song" and "Baise Ca" remind me of Animal Collective, although not much else in these songs does. Indie and progressive the band most definitely is. The Los Angeles-based band, Listing Ship, may call themselves, or categorize themselves, as indie/progressive folk on their myspace page, but I'm not sure if folk is very accurate.

Setting out as a trio the band has since been whittled to a duo with Wood and Susan Young making up the band. A fact evident on the latest album, Houseboat.įor the most part Flophouse Jr is Vancouver's Jon Wood, who began playing under the name back in 1998. But that was five years ago and the band 's sound has evolved to take in more than just the alt country genre. The respected publication named FJ's debut album, Woodland, the 'Americana Album of The Month' back in 2000. The name, Flophouse Jr, may sound familiar to faithful readers of the British music mag, Mojo. The organ notes rising like hope behind the voice and guitars of Flophouse Jr's song, "Don't Need To Pretend".
Here is a pleasant discovery, for me at least, another Canadian indie act who caught my ear with familiar alt country leanings and (the always welcomed) reedy organ.
