dust bowl faeries the plague garden

​Dust Bowl Faeries (from the album The Plague Garden available as a self-release) (by Bryant Liggett)
Dust Bowl Faeries play music born out of another time. It is music that carries gypsy mystery, a playlist for travel through Eastern Europe and an Indie Rock soundtrack for your Tango party. Yet even with its international vibe and old-school flare, the latest from Dust Bowl Faeries, The Plague Garden, is also as refreshing and new as next week. After a 13-second opener in “Overture” that hints at the classical bit “Funeral March”, the band breaks into “Dustbowl Caravan”, a humorous blast picking on the overly happy repeating the line ‘its annoying how cheerful you are’ across a gypsy bounce.
“Vampire Tango” is spirited and seductive, “Serpentine Samba” has a mysterious swing with a musical saw that hauntingly sings. The saw continues its high-pitched moan for the playful “Cyanide Hotel” while teasing the “Funeral March” once again for the intro of “Forest of Breath”. The historical musical vibe addresses the very 21st Century problem in an uninvited pandemic that is refusing to leave in “Pandemic Tango”. It is a cut that is stripped down, finding vocalist Ryder Cooley along with a piano. Despite its lyrical topics of vampires, serpents and cyanide, this is dance music, and Dustbowl Faeries play it to the top. Accordion heavy, the at-times lyrical irreverence plays right alongside a feverish bounce that can kick up dance floor dust. (by Bryant Liggett)
