DESCRIPTION
Product Description Dark, arty and other worldly. Last Man on Earth is a haunting, swirly, ambient affair that shares a kinship with their February 2000 debut than it does with anything this band has done. About the Artist Feathermerchants have been lurking in the northeast music scene since their late 1998 packed debut at the now defunct Brownies in the east village. Since then, they've played the Seattle Film Festival, South by Southwest and have appeared with Keane, The Damwells, October Project, Antigone Rising, Josh Ritter and opened for Grey Eye Glances on their 2005 spring tour. Unarmed Against the Dark, their 2nd full length record, had significant US press and radio airplay in what is arguably the music industries most trying times. They were even able to recruit Rolling Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell to play on it. Even more impressive was the imense critical success the record had in South Africa scoring reviews in that countires editions of Cosmopolitan, People, GQ, FHM, Teen Zone, Elle, Style and Saltwater Girl. The band just finished their third full length record due out in Feb of 2006. The new record entitled Last Man on Earth, is a swirly, ambient affair that is once again impossible to catagorize. "This is an important record for us, no question" says band founder and principal songwriter Pete Veru. "Shannon Kennedy has cemented her role as lead singer and co-writer and Jim Chapdelaines production and guitar playing is by far his most fearless work to date. Composition wise and sonically, I believe this to be a very strong record."

Anyone remotely intrigued by the darker elements of feathermerchants' last two releases, "Unarmed Against the Dark", and "Street Theater", will be knocked out by "Last Man on Earth". Gone are the occasional upbeat, even danceable tunes like "Temporary", "Heartbreak Beat", and "Best Regards", in favor of songs in the heavier vein of "Ursuline" and "Farmers Night Out". (O.k., I suppose you could waltz to "Hitchcock Blonde" but it would be more than a little weird.) Songwriters Pete Veru and Shannon Kennedy have crafted unresolved short stories of longing, self-doubt, regret, anger, paranoia, and panic. Kennedy plays each part perfectly, her vocals layered over the always excellent feathermerchants rhythms and arrangements, highlighted by Jim Chapdelaine's spacy, ambient, and pervasive Robert Fripp-like guitar work, a new touch that truly sets this album apart from the group's earlier titles. This is one of those increasingly rare records that I can play without reaching for the remote control to skip a track here or there. Whether I'm trying to find some new insight into the fate of the songs' protagonists or just wanting to hear some quality, unique music that's literate *and* has a decent hook, this one's been in very heavy rotation at home, in the car, and at work. Good thing it's not vinyl, or I'd need a new copy already.
