A real nice record, with a little hint of that wiggly Feelies vibe mixed in with some moody (and some pretty), indie-poppish songs. Graded up even more for having a song about baseball on it.>> I can take this one... I was talking to their drummer, Chris, the other day, and they are alive and well and in the process of doing demos for the next CD. They have a 7" out on Motorway Records (Japan) "Wild Carnation Live from Hamburg" and a similar German version that will be a 10" with 6 songs. (The Japanese version has only 4 songs.) Apparantly, the new songs are a bit harder edge than the last CD. Currently, they are "label-less" in the states, but the plan is to have the next CD out by early summer! I know that they've been playing out here and there in NJ & NY, and recently they've done shows with Ira and Georgia from Yo Lo Tengo, James Mastro of The Health and Happiness Show, Dave Shramm of The Shramms and The Marquis Quartet (which is members from 2 Dollar Guitar, Das Damen, Splendora ~ The Wygals.) They'll be playing again on March 20th at Maxwells with Every Damn Day....go see 'em! Paul/Pop Booking
