CD review: The Dalloways Penalty Crusade, and big tour - By N.L. Belardes

The dalloways hit the road today on their Western/Northwestern Tour. You can read about it on their blog. Gerhard Enns also told me that their cool alternative lounge sounds are going to get even better when they get back as he's ready to hit the studio again.

I never posted my review of their cd that I wrote for CD Baby. Check it out:

With melodic Morrissey undertones, it's as haunting as Lloyd Cole

Reviewer: N.L. Belardes

Hints of Lloyd Cole and even Elvis Costello materialize in The Dalloways debut album Penalty Crusade. But there's more: Refreshing cd art, the people involved--this music is packaged and presented in a way that brings a fresh perspective to Brit Pop. More: Penalty Crusade is a multi-cultural California blend bringing rural and big city undertones to the Anglian influences of British pop icons. The Dalloways can't help but throw in a subtle flow of Latino riffs and American jazz; all with a hard-edged guitar sound that is as melodic as Morrissey and haunting as Lloyd Cole's lyrical lost love ballads...

Do you have a CD you want reviewed? I have one for Lost Ocean. I'm about to write a big review for their new cd Douse the Choir. They told me they're playing on Tuesday night... somewhere... the Boiler room I think... and at MWP soon too.
