Hope
For Agoldensummer – Life Inside The Body (Mazarine Records)
“Life Inside The Body” is the
third full-length studio album from Athens, Georgia’s Hope For Agoldensummer. They
were formed in 2002 by sisters Claire and Page Campbell with Deb Davis, and
have connections, or have played with, a host of weird and wired acts (Dream
Boat, Dark Meat, Olivia Tremor Control). For this outing the sisters, minus
Deb, have teamed up with producer / engineer / musician Suny Lyons of pacificUV
(whose recent “Weekends”, also on Mazarine, was, incidentally, ace).
Adding to their insular and
soulful harmonies (reminiscent of other Georgia darlings, The Indigo Girls), folk-felt
acoustic guitar and banjo are various strings, found sounds and willful
electronics, which are distilled into a resonance that is both timeless and
inventive. Aside conjuring Appalachian images of dust blown roads and front
porch swings are some heartfelt cold turkey acapella numbers (“Come Back” and “Corn
Maze”), the woozy and wonky slides of “Day Glo Grey” and “Tucson”, and the all
too brief marimba-jazz of “Louis Eckonomides”.
