JOE TURNER: Between Two Seconds
Camera Obscura Records (CAM067CD)
Multi-instrumentalist Joe Turner's day job is holding down the drum stool
in the underrated Northeast psych rock ensemble Abunai!. "Between Two
Seconds" is of a piece with that band's work, with closer attention paid
to song structure and less of Abunai!'s folk jones. It's still rich
psychedelic rock and pop, with engaging melodies and a thoughtful outlook.
"Hills of Pennsylvania", "When You Will Wake Up?", and the title track will
make fans of the style (or anyone with a taste for memorable melody and busy
arrangements) grin, and "Perfect the First Time" is a great epic closer.
Wonderful. (Michael Toland)
