Peacers – “Jurgen’s Layout”

Can’t help but love Mike Donovan around here, whether it was with Sic Alps, solo, or with Peacers. This time Ty steps out of view of the project, but Donovan tripled down on the ranks in his stead (math seems right). Adding to the fray is longtime RSTB favorite pop-in Shayde Sartin (Fresh & Onlys, Skyhigh Band, Skygreen Leopards) who always adds a bit of crackle to any band. The first taste of the oddly tittled Introducing the Crimsmen gives off a whiff of old Sic Alps for the lonely hearted. It’s typically sparse but coated in a layer of pop that’s entrancing and also just a touch menacing. There’s a hint of Skip Spence to Donovan’s songwriting, bolstered with an ozone riff and stormcloud sway. Put this one on the wishlist for sure. It’s a keeper.
