A Weather - Cove - mp3 review
February 22nd, 2008 r8e8rcom
Its both oddly comforting and alarming at the same time to think about the sheer number of Mark Lewis’ that have existed in this world. The comfortable part comes when undesirables try to track me down. Its literally impossible, there are over 500 Mark Lewis’ registered in the US, over 50 in NY alone. It can also be nice when people mistake me for those more successful Mark Lewis’, the ones you see when you google ‘Mark Lewis’, professional baseball players, world famous DJs, doctors, lawyers, the list goes on. I once got into one of the $70 per ticket guido parties at Pocha because the headlining DJ was Mark Lewis. I almost got VIP until someone realized that the real Mark Lewis was actually DJing as I rolled up. But most times I feel like all those Mark Lewis frontin’ bitches are just giving me a bad name. They’re all out there fuckin’ my shit up, trifling. Damn, remember when trifling was Ebonics slang back in the day? Someone sent me that old school delta Ebonics promo from back in 97, “you going on vacation? peep this” and I realized that the word ‘beeotch’ is well over 10 years old at this point. Its what old people say to attempt to sound cool. Fuck, I thought I was being ironic when I said it, now I just feel like an ass. Anyway, I could give a fuck about the Mark Lewis’ of the world, this entire post was really just a ploy to put r8e8r higher on google search results for ‘Mark Lewis’.
A Weather is a melodic indie pop six piece band based in Portland, OR. Band members Aaron Gerber, Sarah Winchester, Zach Boyle, Aaron Krenkel, Zoe Wright, and Lou Thomas are from all different parts of the United States. They describe their sound as “The things that stuffed animals might tell you if they’d had a few too many.” A postcard from the green and gray environs of Portland, Cove is moody and warm, rife with odes of looming loss, hopeful notes to self and hushed revelations that speak directly to the yearning heart. Produced by Adam Selzer (M. Ward, The Decemberists, Norfolk and Western), the songs on Cove are marked with an intimacy so striking that it feels like you’re eavesdropping on the pillow talk of two forlorn lovers. Indeed, this is music to curl up with. Cove is available for pre-order on Saddle Creeks web store (here) and releases 3/4/08 on Conor O’s Team Love Records.
