Frozen Orange is the name and smart, fun music is the game. Love this guy and this might be his best record yet....solo, or with the Clean. Top notch all the way through. It's not gonna change the course of modern music or anything like that, but if you love the best of bands like Yo La Tengo and Luna and REM and the Feelies and all the other descendants of the softer jangle rock sound of the Velvet Underground, you may really like this too. His last two records are on Merge in the US so are very easy to come by, as opposed to the excellent one before that titled with the Heavy Eights, which is an NZ import. All have very nice sound as a bonus, especially this latest one. Lots of cool guitar and dreamy melodies. Only 35 minutes long so I have to play it at least twice. Even has the guys from Lambchop backing him on this one along with the Heavy Eights crew and recorded it down in Nashville. Just checked and there's a nice review up at AMG if you click on the cover below. One of my top 10 of 2004 right now based on how often I listen to it and how long it stays in the player when I do.

Here, here, sir! I love Mr. Kilgour. This was, in fact, the only new release I bought in 2004.

Hehehe, if I could only buy one new record last year that might just have been my choice too, ducky. Pretty dependable sounds from Kilgour. But then again, I already had a few of his previous records so I probably would've gone with something else. Wouldn't want to be without it now, though

I'm lovin' The Far Now, but this Frozen Orange is excellent. My favorite found album of the year. It's got me on a long search for all Kilgour. And, i don't know why, but I love these 2 tracks in sequence.

The Far Now - Sun of God



Frozen Orange - Rolling

I can PM you Here Come the Cars, which is OOP I think and also my favorite of his...

wow. one new release?

I actually have that one. I am only missing DK & the heavy 8's, and False Steps . . .but many thanks for the intro to Frozen Orange
