See Me River is the kind of high-lonesome, live free or die, hellhound on your trail folk-based rock that delights on the first toke, and screws all your senses up by a couple more hits.

"Time Machine" is See Me River's second full-length, and comes on with a relaxed sensuality, inviting the listener into its communal tribe-songs, until the dark vibes of tracks like "Don't Pray For Blood" or "What I've Done" compel you to play it more and more.

"Everybody could use one," bourbon-baritone vocalist Kerry Zettel says about the album's title. "I can't recall how many time I've woken to vaguely recall the evening before and thought to myself, 'Fuck …'" It makes sense to the listener as moody doomed songs of remorse and vengeance unroll, sparsely and elegantly played by Zettel along with Joe Arnone (Charming Snakes, Band of Horses, Weirdlords), Tosten Larsen (Thorstone), Kellie Payne (New Luck Toy, Charming Snakes) and fellow ex-Das Llamas band-mate Aaron Everett.

Recorded and produced by Nick Dewitt (Pretty Girls Make Graves, Night Canopy, Dutch Dub), Time Machine incorporates instruments varying from organ, autoharp, and glockenspiel as well as sounds from cheese graters to an actual shotgun blast. See Me River create a multilayered landscape, subtle yet gripping with phonic guitars forming the backdrop to strong vocal harmonies.

"Time Machine" is a dual release from two much-buzzed labels, Kerry's own label Aviation Records with Don't Stop Believin' Records, that shows the independent fire of the best new Seattle music. Its ten tracks cover everything from wisdom learned during incarceration, car wreck lifestyles, getting drunk and lost, and winding up back in rehab. They're the kind of songs you want to sing while or instead of doing those things.
