about

Recorded in Portland, Oregon but brought to life in Brooklyn’s thriving experimental music scene (see: Castanets, Dirty Projectors, Phosphorescent, etc), A Kick in Falling Away is a new folk-country-electronic-psychedelia hybrid good enough for ol’ Shaky himself, but more in line with crazy-horrible-beautiful life circa summer 2008.

Matthew Boney (vocals, lead guitar, piano), Jeff Simmons (vocals, guitar, laptop, stylo and xylophones), Chris Hutton (drums), Kyle Delamarter (laptop), and various wildly-talented friends/collaborators give us a blazing, white-hot, 10-track piece of American music; American like ‘70s Dylan (see: Street Legal), American like delta blues, like Big Star and Wilco and Tom Petty and the Boss himself.

But where Bruce and his E. Street boys go for the straight-up, W.N. go for the straight up with the crooked, the sideways swingin’, and—sometimes—the totally effing cracked. This is avant-country, tripped-out folk, and weirdo ballads. It’s anthems, but it’s anthems set squarely in absurd-as-hell 2008. (If you catch some epic White Album vibe from this, you’re not off base.)

A Kick in Falling Away is, above all, a pop record, but pop in the finest (weirdest) sense.
