Bands of the universe, take note: a little honesty and directness will get you very far with the folks here at Local Cut HQ. Case in point: this e-mail we received from one of our favorite local folk-pop acts, St. Frankie Lee. It read, in total:
Granted, St. Frankie Lee is helped along by the fact that the band is made up of plainly talented musicians. the group's new album, of which the above track is merely a taste, is understated bliss, led by rattling percussion, desert-baked guitar lines, and co-leaders Chelsea Campbell-Martin and Derrick Martin-Campbell singing as sweetly or as urgently as they please. Like their e-mails, it cuts right to the heart of the matter and moves along on its way. Whether you follow along or take off on your own is another story completely.
