TWO LOONS FOR TEA

Nine Lucid Dreams

2007-08-30

Third release for these folks, but the first time I’ve ever heard them. All of the vocals (except for the interesting/funny/breathy “Consuela”) are by Sarah Scott, who is at times Rickie Lee Jones, Maria Muldaur and Martha Davis (The Motels, kids, remember?). Sometimes bouncy, sometimes hypnotic, and one time Dixieland, it makes for a very nice mix of music. The album as a whole stands up very well to repeated listening. Stupid track 11 is a few seconds of nothing, with 12 tracks total. My favorite was track 2, but then again, I am particularly fond of monkey songs! Kindly Old Mr. Tilapia
