:?q:,ails is much better than a collaboration between a former Luscious Jackson keyboardist and a former Breeders bassist has any right to be.... the surprise derives from the convincing Gallic pop-meets-Brazilian tropical-meets-American prairie blend.
-
Very pretty music that need not be kept in the background.
-
Although it is never overpowering, Dusty Trails is too well crafted to be reduced to mere background music.
-
PunctureBut if the instrumentals are at times boring and over-shy, the heart of the record--and what gives the instrumentals something to bounce off--are the vocal tracks, which highlight both women's talent at melody and whimsical yet honest lyricism. [#47, p.42]
-
Wiggs and Trimble do a fantastic job recreating the feel of classic soundtracks of the '60s and '70s... The only shame is that it runs out of steam a little towards the end.
-
Too often it sounds only half completed...
-
If few of these tracks could be called great, there aren't any terrible ones either-- the entire thing floats along nicely on a snug bed of cotton.
-
Call this music "experimental easy-listening" -- neither strident enough to warrant serious commercial attention, nor sufficiently free-form to attract all the independent obsessives.
-
Minus a couple tracks on the release (including the very Luscious Jackson-esque "Roll The Dice"), this release is more like the female version of Air or Stereolab-lite.
