Rattlemouth - Home Fed and Full Grown: Music for Film and Dance

SKU RATTLEMOUTH02
For their fourth album, Rattlemouth have released something very different for them. It consists of music for dance and film projects for which they have been commissioned. While a good bit of this sounds like their logical next album on from Hopabout, some of it is quite different and presents an aspect of their work that has not been represented on disc before. Rattlemouth are a great band who don't get enough attention, except from a too few number of fans and this album is as good of a place as any to rectify that problem!
"Rattlemouth's roots go back over 25 years to the great art-rock-punk community in Richmond in general, and to the amazing & legendary Orthotonics in specific. After the Orthotonics disbanded and saxist/vocalist Danny Finney had played in other types of bands, he got an itching to do another creative art-rock project and Rattlemouth were born. Since then, Rattlemouth have advanced to become Richmond’s pre-eminent eclectic and world-music based ensemble, thrilling area audiences with their “musical gymnastics for the body and spirit."
Danny has one of the most distinctive voices on tenor saxophone that I can think of; if you know his sound, you can hear literally 1 bar and recognize his playing (and unlike, say, John Coltrane, there aren't a million people trying to sound like him). Also featured is the other original member, the multi-meter drumming octopus Robbie Kinter, who can always find the groove of any song. The other members are my old friend George M. Lowe on guitars and bassist Marc S. Langelier. Everyone plays great, the pieces are recognizably Rattlemouth, but with something new to say and this is a great release at a very attractive price! Highly recommended.
