Caribou (formerly Manitoba) teamed up with Delicious 9 to create Marino. The DVD features songs from the Manitoba and Caribou catalog. Every song is perfectly in sync with the video movements and rhythm and has been a live staple that works in unison with their live performances.
The Parish Festival
Handshakes & Heartaches
2007 | Future Apple Tree
Iowa-natives the Parish Festival are skilled at mimicking these styles whilst framing them within rock. The high-pitched, feminine vocals of Jamey Cummins work well with the music, and there are some memorable choruses throughout. On “Lullagoodbyes” the singer simply repeats “I don’t think so,” over an almost stupidly-catchy breakdown. “Blessings” is another winner, making clear these kids do some interesting things with structure. The songs seems to concern the time-tested topics of longing for girls, missing girls, meeting girls and the desire to get away from girls altogether. Each member of the Parish Festival sounds integral to the overall product--the great basslines, the inventive drum fills, and the neat banjo-playing. It’s great to see them reach for a period beyond the 1950s for inspiration, and deliver their product with such cohesiveness, and skill. This is an interesting release that’s a bit out of time and place alongside a lot of other indie music. And that’s a good thing.
