"Rusted On Through"
(2004)

Vulnerable. Sloppy. Sharp. Clever. Funny. Sorrowful. It's not folk. It's not punk. It's music. Powerful music. Comfortingly odd. Eccentrically loving. It'll get into your system and purge your ennui. You'll start humming the hummable bits and yelling the yellable.

Artist: M McDaeth
"Sacred Cow Sessions"
(2002)

Post-modern folkie bard McDaeth sets his jaundiced American tales against a babbling background of film and television dialogue, an oft-used device (remember Pink Floyd's The Wall?) that adds little more than distraction here. Michael's raspy croak falls somewhere between young Tom Waits and old Dylan, which lends his tunes a certain gravitas, but on balance, this Cow tips toward style over substance. Nevertheless, McDaeth remains an artist to watch; check out his previous release, Gondwanaland (2001), to hear why.

"Gondwanaland"
(2001)

Lost and lonely, disenchanted, faithless and resigned - sad, small characters come alive in the songs of Michael McDaeth. He sets his players on a stark stage of gruff voice and understated acoustic guitar, an economy of expression akin to Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska. Tom Waits fans, too, will appreciate McDaeth's gift for finding the sublime in the banal: "I'm stuck at a stop light eating a deep fried sugar loaf ain't contemplating suicide/I'm empty inside but I'm all right" (from "Profitability"). A riverboat tour, recorded on micro cassette, plays in the background throughout Gondwanaland, providing eerie counterpoint to these quietly unsettling tales.
