Musical genres have been bent and broken over the past decade. Some have been
good (Moby + old time folk samples = Play) and some have been bad (Rap + rock
= Limp Bizkit) The debut album from Clothesline Revival combines an
astonishingly diverse roster of styles and sounds to create songs that sound
like they’re from 2002 and 1932 at the same time. Pedal steel meshes with
programmed beats, mandolin lies snugly alongside a thumping house-like bass
and a train caller from 1936 sound right at home with an entire arsenal of
electronic beeps and beats behind him. The masterminds behind Clothesline
Revival, Conrad Praetzel and Robert Powell, have created an album that defies
any labels any music critic could put on it, except one: it’s damn good.
