CAREER RECORDS is a groovy little enclave that resides in Bozeman, Montana. Run by Mr Ron Sanchez with help from Deniz Tek and hosting releases by musicians of the calibre of Roy Loney, Scott Morgan and his own combo Donovan’s Brain among others. The just released DB album, "A Defeat of Echoes" is the closest thing you’re ever gonna get in terms of new material from Barrett era Pink Floyd but it’s also much more. It’s psychedelia of a decidedly 21st Century variety whilst retaining the vivid qualities of the music that undoubtedly inspired it. There’s an edginess which keeps this jalopy well away from the noodling that so often can befall such a beast. “When You’re Falling” is top power pop, like The Long Ryders crashing a party as Blue Oyster Cult. The album is accompanied with a dvd which contains short clips of Career artists in action.
Roy Loney and The Longshots “Drunkard In The Think Tank” has been out a while now and may be familiar to NBT readers. If not then it oughtta be. Penny Ikinger’s “Electra” may not be so familiar. Ms Ikinger plays loud folk music like The Velvet Underground and is of Australian origin. Natalie Imbruglia should give some consideration to covering her material if she really wants to be credible. “Kathleen” is just one of several classic songs waiting to be discovered.
