mice parade - What It Means To Be Left-Handed
For this latest album, Mice Parade shift gear dramatically to incorporate elements of West African music and South American guitar styles into their evolving sound. Main player Adam Pierce remains a restless creative presence, but where it's previously been tempting to think as Mice Parade as a solo project, What It Means To Be Left-Handed finds him taking up a more clear-cut bandleader role. On this record Temporary Residence artist Caroline Lufkin, Doug Scharin (of HiM, Codeine, Enablers) and classical guitarist Dan Lippel play alongside guest artists such as Meredith Godreau (aka Fat Cat's own Gregory & The Hawk), Swahili singer Somi and kora player Abdou. These new combinations of artists immediately make a mark, bringing a fusionist highlife feel to joyous opener 'Kupanda' and a strikingly elaborate acoustic narrative to early standout 'In Between Times'. There's more striking applications of kora to be heard on 'Old Hat', whose tumbling arpeggios accompany Pierce's hushed vocal line and a massively compressed beat. Confirming that this is the most ambitiously diverse Mice Parade album to date, the second half of the record finds the more electronically produced and polished home-listening style sounds of 'Tokyo Late Night' rubbing shoulders with straight-up proto-indie strum-alongs 'Mallo Cup' and the excellent 'Even'. The album rounds off with a great cover of the Tom Brosseau song 'Mary Anne', parting on one of Mice Parade's more straight-forward moments that nevertheless rings out as mightily powerful.
