Music reviews of Punch
Music Review: punch drunk?
Rating: 2 Stars
This is a relatively awful piece of work. The band mostly plays discordant, nonmelodic music that can possibly only be enjoyed by the sophisticated listeners who like avant garde classical music (i.e., not me). Worst of all is the half-hour, four part monstrosity titled "The Blind Leading the Blind." Chris Thile composed it, and he sings sweetly, but his vocals usually seem to have nothing to do with the backing music. It would be as if you sang "Amazing Grace" while a band played "Devil Went Down To Georgia" at the same time. Even within the instrumental passages, the banjo, fiddle and other instruments are often working against eachother rather than playing together. I admire people who can get anything out of this collection of loosely strung together bits and bops. My reaction was more like the way a Jackson Pollock painting strikes me. Sorry, not my cup o' tea.
Description of Punch
The Punch Brothers are nothing less than a youthful band comprising the most prodigious and sought-after musicians from the cutting edge of bluegrass and folk music. The quintet was brought together by former Nickel Creek star Chris Thile, who, the critic Geoffrey Himes of Washington Post declared, "may well be the most virtuosic American ever to play the mandolin "- adding, not insignificantly, that "he has the flirtatious charisma of a major pop star." Joining him are Chris Eldridge, who Acoustic Guitar has called "the most-talked-about guitarist in the bluegrass world," a member of The Infamous Stringdusters and occasional guest star with dad Ben's legendary combo, The Seldom Scene; bassist Greg Garrison, who has recorded with John Scofield and Vasser Clements, among many others, and regularly sits in with Leftover Salmon; banjo player Noam Pikelny, an alumnus of Leftover Salmon and the John Cowan Band who also appears on label-mate K.D. Lang's new disc, Watershed; and fiddle player Gabe Witcher, "a first-call studio player with a big sound and immaculate intonation," according to String magazine, who has been featured, on the Oscar-winning soundtracks of Babel and Brokeback Mountain, among countless other films.General CDs
