The Liverhearts - Ornament CDr

"The Liverhearts have been playing out in Atlanta for probably 6 years at this point. I know they've released a couple of EPs in the past few years, but during that same time period, the line up of the band has fluctuated wildly. Within the past few years, they have crystallized as a three piece, and it seems like they've finally hit their stride. And what I have really wanted to hear was a full-length. So, in the continuing saga of "bands from whom I want to hear recordings finally producing something in 2008", it shouldn't be too surprising that at long last, The Liverhearts have come out with a 11 track, self-released album called Ornament.

The Liverhearts are a difficult band to write about. I like their music and find it interesting and entertaining. Yet, how to describe them? PostLibyan says that they're post-punk; in the past, I've said they're post-math. But both of those terms are a mere short-hand, meant to invoke the driving, syncopated rhythm section of bassist Jason Beebe and drummer Matt Glagola and the trebly guitarwork and shouted vocals of guitarist/vocalist Matt Weaver. These characteristics show up in spades on Ornament." - Evil Sponge
