HIS ORCHESTRA
“His Orchestra sounds like the chamber group you’d take to the arcade. Growing out of the coffeehouse duo of Douglas Smith and Raviv Ullman two years ago, the bands ranks have swelled by four — plenty of hands to toss the kitchen sink of instrumentation at the orchestra’s (somehow) restrained arrangements. It’s synth-pop on an organic diet: Glockenspiel, cello, accordion, mandolin and violin are all served, but in proper portions. The band has finished an album with producer Dave Trumfio that is due for release in early ‘09.” - Kevin Bronson, Buzzbands
KENNETH PATTENGALE
He works outside-or at least on the fringes-of what the music industry might traditionally call its own. Over the last eight years, Pattengale has taken inspiration from the career paths of artists like Randy Newman, Elvis Costello and personal hero Joe Henry by exploring what it means to wear the differing hats of film composer, record producer and performing songwriter. The music called into question is hard to classify. It runs the gamut from swamp music to rhythm & blues, lullaby to country & western, folk song to piano ballad and beyond. The songs take direction from the stories they tell, not necessarily held together by a clear musical style but by the authenticity with which the stories are told.
