Catacombs

Description

CASS MC COMBS returns with what is undoubtedly his most beautiful and accomplished album.Catacombs possesses the rare talent of reaching both the heart, through its melodies and textures, and the mind, through its poetry and the themes it addresses.CASS MC COMBS, who is originally from California, has notably toured with BLONDE REDHEAD. He is an artist somewhat outside the usual categories, whose each song would reveal a different personality. It is difficult to assign him a precise style, even if the mandolins have led to him being categorized as an "indie-folk" artist.Influenced notably by ELIOTT SMITH, his music is rich and complex, at the crossroads of artists such as SUFJAN STEVENS, GRIZZLY BEAR, or PAPERCUTS.In the great American tradition, CASS MC COMBS is outside trends or fashions, and prefers to ensure that the art of songwriting continues to develop.This album is thus a collection of little gems, like Dreams Come True Girl (featuring KAREN BLACK) or The Executioner's Song.
