Maquiladora What the Day Was Dreaming CD 2003 Darla Records
Maquiladora are the modern equivalent to The Band, recording slower, soulful rock music with an all-encompassing country influence. They switch vocalists, vary between dense and sparse compositions, and throughout each release, they plunge deeper and deeper headlong into territory that both soothes and expands the reaches of human consciousness. This music doesn't so much play through the speakers but swirl and mist out like a vaporous mist that the ears inhale. On Dreaming, they found quite a cast of characters to assist in their endeavors. From Blackheart Procession member Phil Jenkins, to a few of the Acid Mothers Temple roster, the guests add interesting flourishes. With the core members' strong songwriting, it makes for the most cohesive and expansive record Maquiladora have mustered yet. "Sudden Life" opens the record minimal sounds are joined by tom drumming and, eventually, guitars and eerily treated vocals. It's honestly enough to make me rise off the ground, soaring towards the sky. Dreams will be haunted... Rob Devlin

Ritual of Hearts CD - "Ritual Of Heart is a haunting lo-fi affair of psychedelic tinged desert music. Brooding Americana for the mood altering adventurous. This San Diego three piece "share (Neil ) Young's knack for infusing minimalist sketches with a cinematic, wide open spaces vibe. (The) intersection of manic folk thrill and drunken psyche - with piano, synth, melodica, mandolin and accordion darting like honeybees - proposes a craftsman's worldview that, likewise, is deeply passionate." Fred Mills- Magnet

'Ritual of Hearts' 7" screams to belong to any well ordered cool record collection, given enough exposure this could feature deservedly in most end of year polls. With it's drone like keyboards and gently cast chords, 'Ritual of Hearts' has an engaging lazy quality to it that has a similar flow and attraction as did Mercury Rev's 'Car Wash Hair' debut. Dig a little deeper and you'll discover traces of J.Spaceman's first post Spacemen haze of Spiritualized. Trimmed with a delicate psyche underbelly, it is as crucial as it is mesmerising.

'White Sands' CD This astonishing trio conjures diverse influences (Lennon, Tom Waits, Giant Sand, Pink Floyd, Mooseheart Faith) even as it dismantles preconceptions of (and recombines disparate bits of) contemporary alt-country, 60's folkadelia and the timeless, amorphous trappings of musique concrete.

Lost Works of Eunice Phelps CD Second Pressing released by Lotushouse Records. First pressing by Tectonic Records 1999. Maquiladora explores a lo-fi, ghost-town-saloon aesthetic not too unfamiliar but slightly askew with a whole host of vintage instruments and versatile voices, creating an album of remarkable craft and beauty. The band certainly takes cues from Neil Young, Tom Waits, Nebraska-era Bruce Springsteen and probably even Mercury Rev. Drawerb.com
