​The Libras (from the album Faded available on Out of the Past Music) (by Bryant Liggett)
Jason Weinheimer (aka The Libras) may spend more time behind than in front of an audio console but when in the musician recording role, he bangs out his best. Like most musicians for the last twelve months, The Libras have been writing and recording. Backed by a load of A-list musicians, including Al Gamble (St. Paul & The Broken Bones) and Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), The Libras release Faded, a package of rootsy grooves, J.J. Cale inspired laid back Rock kicking it beside the Roots Pop of Alex Chilton and Nick Lowe. The Libras take the edge off with the title track, where sleepy horns provide a theme to close out a night or kick off a lazy morning. “Can’t Lose Everything” is a delightful dash, a drunken, boozy bounce of loose horns and barroom piano playing Ragtime for Indie Blues crowd, as the band digs into the jangle on “Quiet Part Loud”.
“Been Away Too Long”, with the line ‘I didn’t mean to leave you’, is heartbreak Rock while “We Carry On” is one big hook. Together, the songs remain two perfectly crafted examples of Indie Pop. The cover of Dire Straits “So Far Away”, featuring backing vocals by Ambrosia Parsley, is lush and lazy while Faded is drifting and dreamy with “Out of the Game”. Faded is a solid package of Power Pop, skipping from Blue-eyed Soul to the jangle-heavy Paisley Underground. The Libras deliver an album concise and efficient, a stacked record from a stacked band that wastes no time and adds no filler. There’s not a stinker in the bunch.
