Critical reception Sharon O' Connell wrote in Time Out London, October 2004: "...this is a thing of impossible beauty -- sweet, fierce, fragile, funny, heavy, strangely skewed and independently-minded. It's Grandaddy, Elliot Smith, Queens of the Stone Age, Swell, the glitchy side of Sparklehorse, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Tortoise, kissed by neo-classical grace and grazed by white noise. It's goddamned gorgeous. Amy McGill gave the album an 8/10, in Rock Sound, September 2004, wri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thee More Shallows
Thee More Shallows is a three-piece experimental indie rock band based in San Francisco, California. It was formed in 2001. The band consists of Dee (ne David) Kesler, Chavo Fraser and Jason Gonzales. History The three musicians who would come to constitute Thee More Shallows met for the first time at a concert in 2001, where they were all playing with different groups. Songwriter Dee Kesler at the time was in a band called Shackleton along with Tadas Kisielius, and the two of them became the founding members of the group originally known as simply Thee Shallows.

A History Of Sport Fishing
''A History of Sport Fishing'' is the first studio album by American indie rock band Thee More Shallows. It was released on Monotreme Records and Megalon Records in 2002. Early copies of the album have a sticker over the band's former name, "Thee Shallows". This is because a cease-and-desist order was issued after the band was contacted by Brian Gregory from the band The Shallows. Subsequent printings of the album feature a completely new cover. Critical reception Brian Way of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "It's the unstrained subtlety and understatement of the songs collected here that make ''A History of Sport Fishing'' such a rewarding listening experience and set the stage for the albums to come." Joe Tangari of ''Pitchfork (website), Pitchfork'' gave the album a 6.0 out of 10, saying, "though almost uniformly pleasant, ''A History of Sport Fishing'' seldom casts a truly strong hook to reel you into its world."

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All-Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as All-Music Guide by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it, he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
