| How can I describe the sound of this incredible band. The only way I can think to convey it is through an image. Picture if you will. It’s a balmy evening in New Orleans circa 1920 or 30 and you are walking in The French Quarter. A sound leads you down an old dark alley to the door of a small Jazz club. The music draws you inside with it’s intoxicating rhythm. Once inside you find yourself surrounded by vampires, Voodoo practitioners, mysterious finely-dress men and women. and lady’s of the night. The Up-right Bass, Drums , Guitar, and Saxophone cause you to sway helplessly to this entrancing music. Then from out of the band’s shadowy melodies comes a voice with such a power that you are instantly lost in it’s dark sensuality. This is Mather Louth and Radio Noir. The Swamp Jazz Session is a 4 song EP that transports you to another world. Combining elements of Jazz, Swamp Rock, and Blues they form a welcome new sound in the Dark Alternative scene. It’s refreshing to see a group doing something new and doing it amazingly well. The songs are extremely well crafted and the musicians that comprise this band are at the top of their game. This is a must have CD for anyone who is a fan of music that swings in a nefarious, southern, smoky cabaret way. Once you are under this band spell it’s damn near impossible to break. I do hope a full-length CD is on the way soon! Reviewed by: Darkest Jack |
