They're prob...Thanks for covering this Little Claw. They're probably my own favorite band that I discovered this year, beginning with the tracks from their upcoming second LP, on a label that I believe is still to be determined (hint, maybe!). Your description of the first album still fits the forthcoming, but the onslaught is improved by double the confidence.<BR/><BR/>I've heard one nonplussed reaction from a trusted source who heard songs from the collaboration 7" with Michael Yonkers, but I've not heard it myself. It's supposedly right on the cusp of coming out.<BR/><BR/>As a live band, Little Claw were pretty tremendous in Davis, CA, at a brief, mid-evening house-show. They sent everyone off to the ultra-kegger that followed, and I believe that the energy that they sparked kept that party buzzing past 5:00 a.m., and at least a few Davis people were angling to make out with members of Little Claw.<BR/><BR/>Guitarist Kilynn is Little Claw's most singular voice, and not only because she is the only one doing singing duty on these first two albums. Her guitarwork and stage presents exudes femininity and fierceness in a very convincing manner. She's confidently switching the knob from all delicate yin to all ferocious yang and through all gradations in between, but never comes off as contrived.<BR/><BR/>She is also in a trio called Black Egg with one member each from Sunburned Hand and (yep!) Jackie-O Motherfucker (and to answer your question about ex-JOMF'ers, this guy Nick Bindeman, the solo artist known as <A HREF="http://www.myspace.com/sonictunnels" REL="nofollow">Tunnels</A> and ex-member of a lot of bands ranging from really good to downright awesome, is my pick as THEE ONE to watch. The Black Egg CDR I've heard is the ultimate digital-delayed float-on-a-cloud-of-bliss psych/folk jamrock I've heard since the first Inca Ore album came out as a handmade CDR. It resets the curve in the moan-wave class until Oaxacan makes a record finally, and it singlehandedly causes another couple of quintiles of the class to flunk out completely. I hope it finds its way to you.DJ Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15192376447889019598noreply@blogger.com
