Description
Warren Zanes – Memory Girls – Compact Disc
Dual Tones Records 2003
Held back for some time by legal troubles, Warren Zanes’ Memory Girls is as a fine a debut as any, ranging from stripped down folk to torch song to pop orchestral. Employing a rich production style (seemingly originating with Wilco’s Summerteeth), Zane’s obscure, fragmented songs are augmented by a subtle electro-acoustic mix. The wonderful New Orleans ballad “Did You Recognize My Love?”, for example, swirls with what sounds like accordion, clarinet, piano, before giving way to “Where We Began, which begins with treated drum beats and ambient keyboards and builds to a more traditional chorus (albeit still filled with nuanced production tricks). The album is also gently star-studded — Patty Griffin, Emmylou Harris, and Morphine’s Billy Conway all lend their subtle supporting talents to the mix, placing Zane firmly in the throng of the new singer-songwriter movement.
Brand new, never played and still sealed in the original plastic seal but small cut in bar code
