Brightest Young Things

(a re-run, we know)

Do you like Andrew Bird, Beirut, My Brightest Diamond? Trick question, I know.
Well, if the answer is "yes" (and I certainly hope it is because otherwise you're probably reading the wrong website), let us point your ears gently towards Inlets, the brain child of Sebastian Krueger who are playing Black Cat tonight.
The (almost nauseatingly) talented Krueger, who, as luck would have it, actually got his start in My Brightest Diamond, plays (pardon the cliche) everything but the kitchen sink and swirls along merrily on bass clarinets, guitars, piano, melodica, banjo, plain old bass and a couple of other things on his delightful "Vestibule" EP and "Inter Arbiter" LP (out on TwoSyllableRecords.)
In the meantimes, here are some other songs by him to get you to fall in full-on amor:

"Bright Orange Air" came about as the result of a nighttime plane ride and witnessing the sodium vapor lights crossing the entire country. I thought about the effect this might have on all citizens in the way colors solicit emotions.

"Pictures of Trees" was once referred to as a fusion of post-castration Abelard and Steve Reich. That works for me even still.

"Deadly Disclosure" is an unreleased Department of Eagles song I love. I recorded this cover for Fred for his birthday while I was high on Vicodin and sick with shingles.
