MEDICINE
HOME EVERYWHERE (CAPTURED TRACKS)
Another album of new material by the recently reformed original lineup of Medicine so rather quickly, you may ask ? Yes indeed, pal.
"Making records is where it's at", says Medicine, collectively. During this past year Brad Laner, Elizabeth Thompson and Jim Goodall es- chewed the 90's nostalgia touring circuit trod by their peers and instead dug deep to bring you "Home Everywhere": A collection of new songs created with a gaze that is omni-directional.
An answer to no other band, movement or genre (don't be lazy, you). An ambitious work that could be no one else but said three lifer music weirdies in full inspiration mode.
Last year's LP "To The Happy Few", their first in 18 years, impressed and perhaps surprised many with its vital creativity and fiery performances.
But Medicine was really just getting re-acquainted in public. An opening volley of several hook laden three minute noise-pop gems be- gins to mutate with the introduction of Brazilian inspired sounds and rhythms.
While that may sound incongruous, it is still quite Medicinal through and through. And that's just side one.
