SNAILHOUSE - Lies On The Prize

Respected among his peers enough to be the recent subject of his own tribute compilation, and an especially huge influence on Ottawans from The Acorn on down, Mike Feuerstack's newest set is as classily incisive as usual, with producer and longtime collaborator Jeremy Gara (formerly of Kepler, now much more famously known as the drummer in Arcade Fire) careful to keep any slight chances taken on arrangements from overshadowing the songs themselves, particularly with "They Won't Believe You"'s tympani-type toms, horse-hoof clacks, french-horn harmonies and reverb-iced solo guitar.
