Somewhere between indie and folk, between poetry and introspective musings, one finds Tenebrae, whose title -- Latin for shadows -- perfectly sums up the feel of this set. The album revolves around relationships and the emotions that feed and sap them, of those who want out, those who want in, and those who are torn between leaving and staying. Conflict between lovers is the set's thematic crux, the "Great Divide" that Mike Mangione is forever attempting to bestride, the details of which are mostly sketchy, but the repercussions and emotions they evoke as sharp as glass. And it's those emotions that wash strongest over the set, although the lyrics linger. Like all good poetry, one's meant to luxuriate in the beauty of their structure, the lovely twist of the words, and the hidden meanings occasionally found within. The music provides plenty of scope to immerse oneself in the vocals; it's a sublime backdrop that provides support for, but never overshadows, the lyrics. The warmth of the sound, the shadowed melodies, the rhythms that add urgency to the words, and the depths of mood the strings subtly add, all feed the pensive air of the set. A sublime album to be enjoyed at leisure, a late night pleasure or rainy afternoon delight. ~ Jo-Ann Greene, All Music Guide

Duderino it is ok that you were not at the show, though it was a blasty and a half!! If I am not mistaken you were at a wedding, so I hope that went well! Also, thanks for the advice about the flash drive shenanigans. I really did not have the desire to pursue it, but it is nice to know it is not the greatest idea to begin with. More Lebowski, that rug really tied the room together. Have a great day and good luck this weekend with your shows!
