Cult With No Name - Careful What You Wish For (Trakwerx)

Here's an extract from the press release..

"Hot on the heels of their 2007 debut 'Paper Wraps Rock' (highlighted by leading British music journalist Mick Mercer as one of his albums of the year), Trakwerx are proud to give you Cult With No Name's second helping in 'Careful What You Wish For'.

On 'Paper Wraps Rock', the ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />London duo of Erik Stein and Jon Boux sang of 'More of the Same', but 'Careful What You Wish For' is anything but. Sure, the haunting, melodic piano balladry ('oh that') is still in evidence on opener 'Flying Ant Day' (albeit in the guise of a something that sounds like a drinking song), and 'Hands, Two, Touch' (CWNN's very own 'Life on Mars'), but the majority of the album prods your ears with a variety of other influences. 'Context is Everything' hints at Scritti Politti, 'Down the Line' could be Stan Ridgway, whilst 'You and Who's Army' somehow matches the mournful croon of Tony Bennett to the minimalist funk of Shriekback or ESG. And if faux-discaux is your thing, then 'Hurting the ones you love the most' is bound to get your ears a dancin'.

On 'Careful What You Wish For', Cult With No Name take positive delight in exploiting their influences, complete with a stunning version of The Stranglers' 'Golden Brown' and some quite remarkable violin from Tuxedomoon legend Blaine L. Reininger. And as if one violin wasn't enough, 'She B.C.' gives you seven guitars...all at the same time, playing identically. Now who wouldn't wish for that."

The album comes in amazing printed card packaging, with a vellum insert. You can already pre-order the album from a number of places (and preview), most notably...
