DOUG RATNER & THE WATCHMEN – LESSONS WELL LEARNED EP 2012

NOW!

Hailing from Springfield, Massachusetts, Doug Ratner & the Watchmen’s main claim to fame is getting banned from a popular TV show, Mass Appeal, in their hometown, for their song Bomb in the Backseat. It appears the show neither listened to the song nor understood it’s meaning. They only heard the references to bombs and explosions. O well.Ratner and company play a blend of classic guitar rock with some modern alt references. Here’s the skinny on their debut EP Lessons Well Learned. First, if you give it more than a few spins, it will grow on you. But the significant songs are three.

Traverser – Redshift (2012)

After its stint with Octave Match Records, Traverser decided to create and produce this record entirely on their own.  The unique aspect of this is that they requested fan donations that would help the band pay for equipment and other costs of making an album.  Traverser’s loyal, underground fanbase were very generous in helping them reach their financial goals and they created their latest offering entitled “Redshift”.

Klone – The Dreamer’s Hideaway (2012)

With their fourth album, CLONES navels further from their metallic hardness towards rock. So they should make it finally let their shadow life behind and step into her own spotlight.

The move was not unexpected. Already the last EP “The Eye Of Needle” presented the progressive sound of the French far out bremster, but much more complex, and as yet the atmospheric heavy metal outworks. A development that also continues the new album “The Dreamer’s Hideaway” consistently. Without denying their roots CLONES have managed to conduct their compositions even closer and more direct to get in shape. What in his description certainly applies to explain sounds complex, set to music in his way very straight forward and easy access. The French, however, not to use the structures of pop, but their songs skillfully steer towards the progressive rock and alternative. The final product sounds like this, when GOJIRA would operate on the creativity of PERFECT CIRCLE.

Tori Amos – Gold Dust (2012)

“I seem extroverted but I’m incredibly introverted,” Tori Amos says in an articulate whisper. She’s sitting in a light-filled Tribeca apartment explaining why, after a life spent performing, it was a thoroughly nerve-racking experience recording her new album, Gold Dust (due October 2nd). The album – Amos’ second foray into classical music, following 2011’s Night of Hunters – reads like a scrapbook of her career, comprising old favorites reworked with orchestration from the Metropole Orchestra.

It wasn’t revisiting her discography so much as the orchestra itself that intimidated Amos during the album’s recording, which saw her tracking her vocals in front of the nearly 60-piece Dutch orchestra (whom Amos first performed live with in 2010) and personnel from her label (Deutsche Grammophon). “I sing about some of these very intimate moments in my life, and a lot of them written before I got married to Mark [Hawley, also her sound engineer], and he’s there and everyone knows,” she says. “It was walking into a room full of people and baring your most intimate thoughts to after barely saying hello.”
