Red Krayola With Art & Language, The - Five American Portraits album flac

That said, it stands in stark contrast to this strange, quirky, occasionally maddening Five American Portraits. This poetic exercise persists throughout the entire album. The instrumental backing in each tune by Thompson, Tom Watson, Tom Rogerson, Alex Dower, and collaborator Jim O’Rourke evokes classic songs depending on the historical figure.

The subjects of Five American Portraits - Wile E. Coyote, Bush, Jimmy Carter, John Wayne, Ad Reinhardt - are described in an equally bizarre and painstaking manner. These are not portraits in the manner of audiovisual biographical profiles. Neither are they documentaries in the conventional sense. Lenin in the Style of Jackson Pollock" (from the 1981 album Kangaroo?) and pictures such as "Portrait of George W. Bush Wearing a Cowboy Hat in the Style of Jackson Pollock's 'Mural (Untitled), 1950'" (from a 2007 exhibition). but this album stands alone as an attempt at verbal description of visual delineation.

Record Label: Drag City. Genre(s): Rock, Alternative. Five American Portraits will not earn the band new fans, most likely, and may only inspire a spin or two from experienced fans. But this is a record that has its merits, mostly due to its odd, hypnotic concept and benign perversity.
