Voices in a rented room

"Voices in a Rented Room, the first album from New Bums, the collaborative duo of Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance, Rangda, Comets on Fire) and Donovan Quinn (Skygreen Leopards), is a dark, subdued, and occasionally funny affair somewhere between ramshackle loner folk and carefully crafted sonic portraits. The album's incredibly spare 12 songs are made up primarily of dual vocals and guitars from both singers, occasionally peppered with muted percussion or the odd string arrangement, as with the gloriously sad Big Star-recalling "Sometimes You Crash."".

"Ben Chasny, som vi kender fra Comets On Fire og ikke mindst mandens soloprojekt Six Organs Of Admittance, har slået pjalterne sammen med Skygreen Leopards-manden Donovan Quinn, og det er der kommet et umådelig dejligt album ud af. Under navnet New Bums har duoen således skabt et skønt udtryk, der rundt regnet udelukkende baserer sig på tostemmige vokalhamornier og akustiske guitarer. Det lyder måske ikke af alverden, men stemmerne smyger sig smukt om hinanden, og guitarspillet er fra ende til anden særdeles raffineret".
