Split 7" (Pidgeon English). Review by Daniel Mitchell.
... " and "Up in There, Man," are considerably more enjoyable, but that's not really saying a whole lot. Utah! play jangly emo pop, with a particular focus on warm guitars, which are in the forefront of the mix; this is a good move, as the guitars are very cool. However, the fact that the drums are buried ...

... " and "Ash"), and feature really cool beats, with a slew of bass. For the most part, though, the songs are really bizarre explorations in sound, with focus being given to atmosphere more than anything else.

... here, Evanier's "POV" (Point of View) column was dedicated to his take on all the various and sundry aspects of the business we call show.

... filled Parsons' head, and hanging out with Keith Richards seemed to alter some basic tenets of Gram's being. Accounts of him after this time seem to focus more on the partying and the drugs, not the music. Still, in 1972, Parsons recorded GP , his first solo album, followed by Grievous Angel in 1973 ...

... title track, start off slow then jump right in to the hard, thick guitar riffs that really get the crowd moving at one of their shows. The lyrical focus of the album is society, childhood, and life's everyday complexities. In a day of whiney "alternative" acts flooding the charts, Caroline's Spine is ...

... went into a slump by turning his back to the audience. What we did, musically, is that we jammed a lot, so we improvised and sort of dropped our focus for writing -- just churning out singles, like we had on a couple of recordings we'd done before that -- because we were trying to find our own thing ...

They don't play major label politics (even sacrificing a full album because of it), they're not a lounge act, and they don't want their lead singer to be thought of as a sex symbol. So what are Elysian Fields? Even singer Jennifer Charles and guitarist Oren Bloedow have trouble explaining that to Gail Worley.
... been accused of that before, that it's depressing, and I think that people might try and lump it there because it's... real. I read articles that focus on Jennifer, personally, and I don't think they're being that fair to the band, to the music, because they are all obsessed with how sexy and sultry ...
