Purveyors
of fine music arise and get yourself a copy of the new CD from The Jealous
Gods titled You’ll Want To Wake Up Now. The band Dave Hill (vocals/bass)
and Jeff Miers (guitars) along with uber drummer Eric Starr have put together
ten dramatic songs for your listening pleasure. Densely layered guitars,
bass and drums created a texture of music that transports you along on
a musical journey. From the opening alarm clock ringing of the title cut
“You’ll Want To Wake Up Now” to the final notes of “Existential Dreads”
this is on par with Zappa, Leonard Cohen or latter day Wilco. Liner note
lyrics help you to further experience the songs along with stellar production
by the band and mastering by the legendary Nick Blagona for a total aural
adventure. Highlights here include “Can’t Do Much”, “Bushcheney”, “It’s
What It Is” and “Throw” along with the two before mentioned tracks. For
