VANDERSLICE, JOHN

John Vanderslice is one of America’s most important artists, a “songwriter’s songwriter” loved by contemporaries such as Spoon, Bright Eyes and Death Cab For Cutie to name a few. He has the acerbic bite of Elvis Costello, the satiric edge of Randy Newman, and the universal conscience of Peter Gabriel. JV is also a well-noted audiophile, and owns the legendary analogueonly Tiny Telephone studio in San Francisco, where bands such as Spoon, Mates Of State, The Mountain Goats, and others record. The 12 songs represent a career-defining moment, a pitch-perfect collection written and recorded with the utmost care and attention. Yes, it’s JV’s best album to date, an incredible mid-career leap akin to Guided By Voices’ ‘Bee Thousand’ or Spoon’s ‘Kill the Moonlight’.
