Music: Rock/Pop Jack Rose w/ MV & EE and Mike Bones

  • Jackrose_large

MV & EE (Matt Valentine and Erika Elder) orbit spacey folk pop and wailing dirges by dialing up a bearded, neo-hippie aesthetic. The Brattleboro, Vermont, duo is fresh off releasing Gettin' Gone on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace! label, as well as recording a killer version of Neil Young's "Powderfinger" for So Much Fire to Roast Human Flesh, an anti-war compilation curated by Josephine Foster on behalf of Arthur magazine. Jack Rose, formerly of experimental-rock legends Pelt, is one of the best of the current crop of John Fahey-inspired raga-fingerpickers. His steel-string marathons aren't as pretty as work by kindred spirits like Sean Smith and James Blackshaw, but his fierce attack is utterly mesmerizing.
