- Release Notes



Their sound is lonesome, haunting, and almost classic country at times, yet

sounds right at home in the world of independent rock music. Western Fifth

creates a visionary sound, founded on heartfelt and often dark lyrics,

blended with both classic and eclectic instrumentation.



The band recorded their shambling, country-tinged debut EP in a single

weekend during the winter of 2006. Lasting nearly a day and a half, the

mostly improvised sessions were tracked at Silver Ant Studio in Minneapolis.



Western Fifth started playing shows at various venues around the Twin Cities

in the summer of 2006, and has since expanded to a six-piece ensemble. In

addition to the traditional guitar, bass and drums, they incorporate a myriad

of instruments into their music, including piano, lap steel guitar,

Wurlitzer, trumpet, mandolin, organ, and banjo.



搮much of their stuff was like listening to The Replacements if they had

hired Steve Earle to do their arrangements for them, and then tossed a

trumpet in from time to time to round things out. The lyrics were rich in

imagery and the music was spare at turns, despite having six group members

onstage, but as they got rolling it sort of felt like you'd been hit in the

head with a bar of soap shoved into a sock梚t was a lot to digest,

emotionally. The songs had a worn, frayed-at-the-edges feel as if they had

emerged, fully formed, from the drawer of some long-forgotten piece of

furniture in the basement of an even longer-forgotten, broken-down

farmhouse.?- Pat O払rien, howwastheshow.com
