Song of the Week

Catacombs

After bouncing around the country with his first three albums (and touring with Modest Mouse), Cass McCombs is really finding his footing on his fourth record, Catacombs. (Had to happen sooner or later, right? His great album with that name?). McComb's reedy voice and independent bedroom-folk are difficult to define but witheringly addictive. Check out "Dream Come True Girl". (Yes, Karen Black is seriously freaky). And watch the video for "You Saved My Life." This song just floored me on the first listen. Floored me.
