Morphius Distribution is proud to announce our recent signing of Brooklyn/D.C. quartet Deleted Scenes! Their debut LP, Birdseed Shirt, has garnered rave reviews from both NPR and Spin.com, and Pitchfork called the record "brave and ferocious." Don’t miss them on tour in the U.S. throughout ‘09.
Coffinberry is an electrifying four piece comprised
of brothers Nicholas (guitars/vocals)
and Anthony Cross (drums/vocals), Patrick O’Connor
(bass) and Tony Janicek (guitar), whose
7-song debut EP earned comparisons last year to the likes
of The Walkmen, Pavement,
and Interpol with its “intoxicating mix of drunk
artsy dirges (‘Nightlife’) and streets-of-Brooklyn
hipster rock (‘Needn’t Be So Mean,’ ‘Eva’)
(—Columbus Alive).
The band’s blend of honest but intoxicating rock
is an electrifying mix of unassuming but
potent musicianship, gifted and preternatural songwriting,
and humble Ohio valley roots.
While comparison to legends like Guided By Voices and
Pere Ubumight reflect a geographical prejudice, to
invoke recent bands (e.g. Spoon, Superchunk) would fail
to do
them justice.
Cross has a “laid back, semi-bored lackadaisical
charm about his singing style...this is a
definite must...a perfect and smooth rock-fitted voice...with
guttural crooning a la The
Walkmen. The guitars drive on the more high-end, trebly
side with some power chord
thrusts...angular picking, and manipulated, rhythmic
feedback. The rhythm section pushes
everything forward and keeps the music modest...These
guys definitely have something
here...” (— Left Off The Dial)
Now back with their long-anticipated full length CD,
God Dam Dogs Coffinberry once again showcases
the solid influences of their last release, including “a
lot of classic rock...Dinosaur Jr, Afghan
Whigs, Pixies, Archers Of Loaf and other purveyors
of melodic noise” (— Shakeyourfist.blogspot.com), but with a newfound songwriting
maturity all their own.
Verbicide said “they already have the musical chemistry
of the late ‘60s Rolling
Stones...the Cross brothers’ vocals are as cool
and disconnected as early Lou Reed, but
hit more emphatically...it’s hard to believe this
is Coffinberry’s first full length, as long as
they
don’t become sullied by commercial success, the
sky’s the limit.”
We agree.

Clangy, willfully off-kilter post-punk [a la] vintage
Pere Ubu and revivalists such as The Strokes, The Oranges Band, and San Diego’s departed A Miniature. Nicholas Cross pitches a nonchalant drawl that melds Ubu’s David Thomas and the Strokes’ Julian Casablancas...It’s
the sweeter tunes..that truly devastate... oodles and oodles of potential here. – Big Takeover
