Cellar Door

It took me a long time to come to terms with the previous album.
I liked it but it just was no Time Travel. Still it had plenty of good, if not excellent, moments. But now with the latest album, the problem seems clear. How does Vanderslice the lyricist come to terms with Vanderslice the producer? There is no problem with the musicianship as always. It is just as the production becomes more involved, how can he keep the lyrics as intimate as previous releases? Whereas the last two albums employed the concept album conceit to give impact (each song is one more piece in a psychological puzzle), Cellar Door offers up a different persona in each song.

Titles:
    1. Pale Horse
    2. Up Above the Sea
    3. Wild Strawberries
    4. They Won't Let Me Run
    5. Heated Pool and Bar
    6. My Family Tree
    7. White Plains
    8. Promising Actress
    9. Coming and Going on Easy Terms
    10. Lunar Landscapes
    11. When It Hits My Blood
    12. June July

Too Much Time

"Too Much Time" is a perfect pop song and the unquestioned centerpiece of John Vanderslice's finest record to date, Romanian Names. A true single, "Too Much Time" is now being released as a limited edition 7-inch. It was hailed as NPR's Song of the Day, whose critics called Romanian Names "his best record yet." The single features the infectious exclusive b-side "Moon Rocks," a song that fits neatly alongside the flawless Romanian Names.

Titles:
    1. Too Much Time
    2. Moon Rocks

D.I.A.L.O

"D.I.A.L.O." is the second 7" single taken from John Vanderslice's 2009 release, Romanian Names. The song is a highlight from an album with no shortage of highlights, and paired with the exclusive non-album track "Do What You Want" makes for an incredible 1-2 punch. The fried out fuzz-pop of "Do What You Want" plays a perfect foil to the spacey sonics of "D.I.A.L.O." Containing two instant classics, one per side, this is the way a great 7" single should be.

Titles:
    1. D.I.A.L.O.
    2. Do What You Want
