BEVEL
WHERE LEAVES BLOCK THE SUN (JAGJAGUWAR)
With "Where Leaves Block the Sun" BEVEL follows through with the promise that was made last year's debut "Turn The Furnace On".
The new full-length is principal songwriter Via Nuon's electric pastoral folk music. Though difficult to describe in sound, one might compare BEVEL to the ghostly songs of Nick Drake with a ligt Cambodian accent.
Cp-produced, engineered and mixed with Michael Krassner, "Where Leaves Block the Sun" corrals some of Chicago's best players, including Fred Lonberg-Holm (Peter Brötzmann, John Zorn), Ryan Hembrey (Edith Frost), Jason Adasiewicz (Central Falls), Deanna Varagona (Lambchop), Mick Turner (The Dirty Three), Jessica Billey (Bonnevill) and Scott Tuna (Souled American).
