- Record Label: Damn Tall Buildings
“Their instrumentation has a bluegrass resume, though scaling Damn Tall Buildings down to a string band size is limiting. Fiddle, guitar, banjo and upright bass are at the instrumental heart of the music from Damn Tall Buildings though beyond their ability to place notes in all the right spots, emotion plays a large part of tunes make on the album. Words are the fuse that sparks the stories on Cure-All, the latest release from Damn Tall Buildings. The Boston-based quartet rambles from ‘Portland to Richmond’ as they try to leave the “Wichita Blues” back in the hotel room and a Celtic air offers a foundation for the flying notes that rise like the oncoming water in the “Ballad of Nigel Williams”… Damn Tall Buildings have a way of making old songs feel modern as they color band originals with sepia tones and early, back alley jazz textures.”
