| This unwieldy title promises things the film doesn't really deliver. It's a scattered mess of a film that spends a little time with a lot of different Austin bands and also tries to make a point about the city's johnny-come-lately high-rise condo residents vs. the bands that play in downtown Austin and made the city such a desirable locale in the first place. It never quite reaches that point. http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/158468-echotone-austin-tx-the-quiet-fight-for-a-louder-future/ | |

| Apparently these guys started off as an instrumental band, but producer/friend Mark Kozalek of Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon apparently couldn't resist getting directly involved. So Desertshore's second album has 6 songs with Kozalek on vocals and 4 instrumentals. It's not so much disjointed as it is weird, seeing as they stuck the instrumentals all in a row at the end of the album. http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/156448-desertshore-drawing-of-threes/ | |
