(not electronic as such, but i figure there will still be quite a few of
you into this release, enjoy!)
Sanduskys Blankets On The Green, Green Lawn, allows us to show a new side
of the sounds of RSC. Comprised of Joseph Raymond Hansen II and Corey
Ryan, the duo offer touching music, that is very reminiscent of the state
of Colorado, where they reside.
I first saw this album at the Breakdown Book Collective, while waiting to
hear another great Colorado band, Pee Pee. What drew me to the disc was
the generic, paper sleeve, store bought cd-r, and particularly the name of
the album. In listening to it, I realized how appropriate the title was
for the music contained on the disc.
In all of the songs that make up this album, you can feel the soft,
languid summers, that make up life in Colorado. Floating between a
meditative calm and a sweet sadness, Blankets On The Green, Green Lawn is
a wonderful album for quiet days spent lounging on your lawn, or in a
park.
Sparse insturmentation, consisting mostly of guitars and vocals, with the
occasional keyboard or drum added in to round out the sound, the music
still manages to be full and expressive, without going overboard. Sandusky
seamlessly bring together many different sounds, without falling into any
true categorization, and merely present their songs and thoughts without
any hint of pretension involved.
Its these things: the minimalist instrumentation that fills so much
space, the sincerity of the lyrics and songs and the state of
contemplation that they bring with them, that brought me to contact the
band and see if they would be interested in releasing the album with RSC.
I hope that you enjoy Blankets On The Green, Green Lawn as much as I have,
as Sandusky is definitely one of the undiscovered gems of the Colorado
music scene.
