Music Menu / News Mean Creek in concert (12/08/2009)

Posted By on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 8:37 AM

Mean Creek The latest entry in the Next Great Band from Boston sweepstakes (Morphine would likely be your previous title-holder), this quartet's recently-released sophomore effort The Sky (Or the Underground) has won gamut-running huzzahs from the likes of Under the Radar and the staid fogies at Paste. But since their Americana-flavored 2007 debut, singer/guitarist Chris Keene must've been listening to crate-loads of Kevin Shields and Adam Franklin, because the new one is spackled floor-to-ceiling with tasty guitar reverb. And when bassist Aurore Ounjian steps up to the mic to harmonize, Mean Creek creates a pretty impressive Low-meets-Swervedriver thing for these four-minute meditations on all things natural and cosmic.
