Album
Lullaby For The Working Class
I Never Even Asked For Light
(Diverse)

Price: 69 SEK

Lullaby for the Working Class hails from Nebraska and combines the '90s chamber pop sounds of Lambchop and Tindersticks and the country-rock stylings of Gram Parsons. Originally the band started out as a two-piece with Mike Mogis and Ted Stevens, both singer/songwriter musicians. To make the band complete, AJ Mogis (bass) and Shane Aspegren (drums) joined Lullaby for the Working Class and shortly thereafter the band inked a deal with Bar-None Records while making themselves noticed at various gigs in and around N.Y.C. Their »chamber folk« was further refined on “I Never Even Asked For Light” (Bar/None, 1997). The sound of this album is sleepy and abstract, often hypnotic, as it lulls the elusive melody in a sea of warm tones. An orchestra of guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, kalimba, dulcimer, trumpet, trombone, clarinet and percussions transforms each song into an intense sonic experience.
„The songs on the album are intricately wound with different instrumentation and singer Ted Stevens emotive voice sings out lyrics of almost surreal visions and contemplations. It's the perfect accompanyment to a lazy weekend afternoon, when the last rays of sun are fading and the night breeze is beginning to blow.“ (No Depression)
