Chesnutt, Vic
North Star Deserter
180 Gram vinyl. One of the finest songsmiths of today. His words will knock you out, his voice is like no other, and the two combined deliver lyrical phrases that echo in your brain forever. The songs on this release are among his most bracing & intense. Stripped down songs are juxtaposed with explosive rockers. The broad cast of players include all 7 members of THEE SILVER MT. ZION, along with Guy Picciotto (FUGAZI), Chad Jones & Nadia Moss (FRANKIE SPARO), Eric Craven & Genevieve Heistek (HANGEDUP), Bruce Cawdron (GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR) and T. Griffin (THE QUAVERS). This record is unlike any other in his substantial discography. Macabre & fearless, playful & funny, deeply personal and incongrously hopeful.
