PISCES~A LOVELY SIGHT

  THE LATEST TIME CAPSULE OF DEEPLY OBSCURE LOCAL MUSIC OPENED BY THE ARCHIVISTED AT THE Numero Group IS THE "Pisces" IS THE "Pisces" COLLECTION "A Lovely Sight", A SET OF MODEST, EERIE PSYCHEDELIA FROM EXOTIC Rocked, Il, AS THE 1960'S ENDED", Jim Krein AND Paul DiVenti ( BOTH BORN UNDER PISCES) WERE COLLABORATORS IN A LOW~BUDGET STUDIO THEY NAMED "A Lovely Sight", CONCOCTING SONGS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE "Beatles", FOLK~ROCK, GARAGE~ROCK AND SUNDRY 60'S POP. THEY SANG OR TURNED THE MIKE OVER TO THE SOMBERLY EMOTIVE Linda Bruner, AND THEY SOUND DEEPLY INTROVERTED, OFFERING LYRICS LIKE "Somewhere There Waites A Golden Day" AND "The Mystery Of Life Is Still Unlearned".

~THE SONGS RARELY GO FASTER THAN A MOODY MIDTEMPO, SUSPENDED IN REVERB WITH DISTORTION ON SOME OF THE FRINGES. WHAT MAKES THE TRACKS HAUNTING IS THEIR AUSTERITY, THE WAY THEY USE JUST A HANDFUL OF INSTRUMENTS~~NOTABLY A MINIMUM OF STANDARD TRAP DRUMMING TO SUGGEST DESOLATE ISOLATION. WHETHER IT WAS DELIBERATE ARTISTIC STRAINTH OR JUST A LACK OF RESOURCES MAKES NO DIFFERENCE 40 YEARS LATER.
