In good company

spaghetti western

...and we're back! Thanks for your patience, everybody. That wasn't fun for us, either; in addition to not being able to post, I have hundreds of bounced e-mails (some not even Robots related! wtf?!).

Anyway.
Robots friends Spaghetti Western String Co.'s new record may have the most appropriate name in musical history: Lull & Clatter. The band - Michael Rossetto on banjo and guitar; Nicholas Lemme on mandolin, guitar and voice; Paul Fonfara on clarinet; Ethan Sutton on clarinet - plays an intriguing mixture of jazz, bluegrass, and classical. I know, I know, that sounds terrible. But the band is so disciplined and precise that it works like a charm, and it is indeed full of rackets and perfectly timed quiet sections.

Spaghetti Western String Co. - The Once-ler.

I love this band. Their previous releases, Do Right By People and Quiet Mob EP, are great, but this is their best record yet. Long live good jazz/bluegrass/classical music played by young people in nice clothes.

Buy Lull and Clatter from the band.
