OK, most likely you've not heard of Jeremy Messersmith. So, that's
why I thought I'd post this.
Last night I went to this show that is getting some great press here
in Mpls. It combines a faux radio like experience with live music (no
not THAT guy's show). Anyway, the show was alright but the music was
really nice. Yes, that was Jeremy Messersmith. This is for fan's of
Elliott Smith to check out and it's on emusic. His voice evokes that
kind of sound. Some of his lyrics kind of clunk to me but still it
could be worth your checking out.
Anyway, putting my ignorance on full display once again... He had one
of those musical gizmo things at his feet that he would step on(what
are they called?). He would pound out the beat on his guitar, and
record it and then loop it into the song. A few times he did the same
thing with his voice to create a multiple layer of vocals. It was
really nice. Normally, I prefer the real thing but I rather enjoyed
watching him quickly create the background sound for his songs. I have
not seen this before but I'm sure it must not be that unique? I mean
I recall see The Fall for one and Mark Smith would turn it on but it
was all prerecorded.
Anyway, it's on emusic..."easy lovers hardly friends" or maybe "old
skin" might be the place I'd suggest starting with, if your
interested. Below is a City Pages review I found.
best, Steve D.
