David Daniels Karsten - Sharp Teeth [CD]

SHARP TEETH is a compelling exploration of moral ambiguity and perhaps-unavoidable human disconnection, suggesting modern American folk music in the Southern Tradition: often deathly slow, like life in the South and haunted by religion- but unable to find answers in it's Bible. The sounds of the South appear as well; Nashville's slide guitars, nods to Dixieland Jazz, drums, horns, choirs and epic string arrangements take their places in songs that - despite their grand scale - manage to be concise and immediate, conveying a distinct love of pop music.
