Rex C Southern, 1996 RiYL: Pullman, Directions In Music, Loftus, Codeine, Red House Painters

The glory of Rex's droning, engaging tunes will bring a tear to your eye as you rock out to incredible crescendos. There's a triumphant sadness in Curtis Harvey's voice, an empowering sullenness that sticks right into you.

Listen to the title track on a very loud system -- one that lets you soak in all the melancholy beauty of the delicate Southern-tinged balladry, then lets you and most of your neighbors get demolished by the song's soaring guitar-crunch-and-violin-sway apex.

You become a frog swimming in a slowly heating pot boiler. By the time you figure out what's happening, it's way, way too late. A late-night disc for cold rainy nights, for sure.
