![]() Gill Landry (from the album Skeleton at the Banquet available on Rubber Tramp Records) Wispy tendrils of sound weave and tumble over Skeletons at the Banquet, the recent release from Gill Landry. Gill’s guitar fills the air with sound, melodies soundshifting through Folk, Blues, and Latin textures as notes shimmer like a thousand flickering stars, the textures ever-evolving around “Portrait of Astrid (A Nocturne). A shadow passes over the Country and Western noir of the album opener as Gill Landry second guesses his words in “I Love You Too” while Skeletons at the Banquet feasts on a troubadour’s tale singing “A Different Tune” and introduces “Angeline” on a Country ramble. Moods haunts the album as much as the ancient echoes that pop like bubbles throughout “The Refuge of Your Arms” while the rhythms seeming to face off when a wandering gypsy fiddle is soundtrack for the dramatic staging of “Trouble Town”. Gill Landry is the town crier in “Nobody’s Coming”, his news accented by horns and fiddle reels over a constantly flowing percussion as somber notes trudge through Washington Square with the storyline of “The Place They Call Home” while Skeletons at the Banquetuses a Country Rock jangle as a talisman against the false promises from “The Wolf”.
