the envy corps-dwell [2007]

i don't have much to say about this album....i don't know it all that well. i just came across it this week and thought it had a couple of nice licks. you can decide for yourselves. from the initial listen you may think this is a u.k. band. not so, interestingly enough. the envy corps hail from the great state of iowa. i myself have been to iowa on three or four occasions. i gotta say that of the midwestern states it certainly is one of the most beautiful. i am not surprised that this music could be produced in such a beautiful place. that's beside the point. check out the songs "wires & wool", "rhinemaidens" and "before the gold rush" (note connection to neil young's "after the gold rush". not only are they iowan, they're witty, and neil young fans).

  1. wires & wool
  2. sylvia (the beekeeper)
  3. keys to good living
  4. rhinemaidens
  5. before the gold rush
  6. walls
  7. 99, 100
  8. rooftop
  9. party dress
  10. story problem
  11. baby teeth
