Description:
From Driveways` Lost View is the second full-length from St. Louis, MO`s Magnolia Summer. In contrast to the hushed, intimate quality of the band`s 2003 debut, Levers And Pulleys, Driveways` reveals a louder, rawer, and more spontaneous side of Magnolia Summer, one that`s already quite familiar to fans of their live shows. Distorted guitars buzz and howl against the blast of drums and bass, but despite the aggressive edge, Magnolia Summer retains its distinctive grace and vulnerability. With a band that features stalwarts of the St. Louis music community - including John Horton (Bottle Rockets), Mark Ray (Waterloo), Aaron Zeveski (Ring, Cicada) and Greg Lamb (The Lineman) - songwriter-multi-instrumentalist Chris Grabau crafts songs of isolation and disconnect. For him it`s a life caught between work and home, love and loss, heart and hope, thoughts and words. (Undertow Music Collective)
