Likeness
Kranky
POST ROCK
‘Likeness’ is the newest release from the duo of Tom and Christina Carter. Recorded over a period of several weeks during the Spring of 2006, the album is a return to the spontaneous composition of previous Charalambides records such as ‘Houston’ and ‘Union’.
Lyrical content largely derives from public domain American popular song from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, edited, rearranged, and largely deconstructed by Christina into abstract ‘protest’ songs for the century at hand. Musically, the album departs from the warm psych of ‘A Vintage Burden’ in favor of the lush and layered vocal strata of Christina’s later solo works, and a chillier, more abrasive guitar sound that favors the Velvets over the Byrds.
