​Dead Winter Carpenters (from the album Sinners ‘N’ Freaks available as a self-release) (by Bryant Liggett)
The five songs that make up Sinners ‘N’ Freaks, the latest E.P. from Northern California five-piece Dead Winter Carpenters finds the band comfortably carousing between head-bobbing tempos and quiet, contemplative moods and back again to nodding along with the rhythm. Playing out at a diplomatic, even pace, cuts one, three and five of the record are hearty while two and four are heavy, Sinners ‘N’ Freaks flows from groove to ballad. Ten years and five studio releases in, Dead Winter Carpenters nailed the Roots formula to front porch party music and soulful, contemplative cuts.
The title cut by another spelling, “Sinners and Freaks” opens the record with a funky stomp traipsing over high and low experiences where ‘sometime your dancing on the ceiling, sometimes your face-down in the mud’. It is a good time cut making a pitch to ‘save room for the sinners and the freaks’ amidst a big distorted ending.  “Time Off the Bottle” chronicles a heavy, somber quest and “Lift Me Up”, with its lonely fiddle, is written from a toddler’s perspective desperately asking to be loved ‘like I’m you’re only child’ as “Green Room Baby” updates the term groupie as its storyline follows a fan from town to town amidst a rocking, slide-guitar heavy cut that highlights Dead Winter Carpenter’s ability to throw down the boogie Blues. (by Bryant Liggett)
