Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0808713002720 Label: Pi Recordings Manufacturer: Pi Recordings MPN: 27 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Pi Recordings Release Date: June 24, 2008 Studio: Pi Recordings Editorial Review: Album Description: "Marc Ribot's new power trio, filled out by the remarkable versatile rhythm team of bassist Shahzad Ismaily and drummer Ches Smith, is his rawest band in ages." -- Time Out New York Party Intellectuals is the debut recording from Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog, a post-everything band combining the energies of two masters of downtown New York mayhem: guitarist/vocalist Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, John Zorn, Robert Plant, T-Bone Burnett, Marianne Faithful, Lounge Lizards, Elvis Costello) and bassist Shahzad Ismaily (Laurie Anderson, Will Oldham, Jolie Holland, Secret Chiefs 3). Also features West Coast indie/experimental genius drummer Ches Smith (Xiu Xiu, Secret Chiefs 3, Trevor Dunn's Trio Convulsant).

Some of this is not for the faint-hearted, but fans of Ribot's signature sound and artistic daring will love it. Rating: - Sizzlin' EnergyThis is a forward-thinking album. High energy. Esoteric. A departure (or sorts) for Ribot - but a hot album none the less. Not quite as inaccessible as some of his other efforts. Listen to the sound clips - you'll be convinced... |
