gileadbot Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 For folks into indie-ish alt-country stuff, check it outttt. "The Mess I've Made" will be out in November! Just CD though, no vinyl on this one. Northern Wisconsin is hardly known for producing notable bands or artists. Despite this fact, there are a number of criminally under-rated and over-looked musicians from this woodland state that deserve the prolonged affection of music lovers everywhere just as much as any band on the cover of the current "cool" indie magazine. Heller Mason proves this fact with vigor. Todd Vandenberg, the man behind the songs of Heller Mason, has amassed a group of talented musicians to create beautiful alt-country/indie rock songs with thickly layered instrumentation and passionate lyrics that could only be crafted by a modest Wisconsin upbringing. "The Mess I've Made" is a stunning album that demands undivided attention. http://www.myspace.com/hellermason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylme Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Gilead sent me the somber and sober cd with my rocky votolato 10" order I'm digging it. I'll probably pick this one up. thats funny because i have one of my austin lucas albums sitting next to me on my desk and it jumped from there into my head.... thanks.

gileadbot Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 I think you mean Rocky Votolato 10" hehe! The new Heller Mason has a full band unlike the self released demos I sent out with the rest of the RV records. It's much fuller and lush sounding!

gileadbot Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 It's less indie and more really lush and beautiful alt-country. Tons of instrumentation! It's not like they just add random instruments in for funsies, they compose tons of it to mesh together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
