SAM DENSMORE'S SILVERHAWK
Flowers In June EP (Pop Sweatshop)
Reviewed by Shaun Dale

Sam Densmore, a member of the Portland, OR, noise band Frequency dB, shows his affection for and skill at a different kind of noise on Flowers In June, a four track demonstration of the art of the jangle. Yep, it's noisy, jangly pop, performed by a trio that includes Densmore on vocals and guitar, bassist Dan Kelly and drummer Paul Elkins. They achieve a sound that's bigger than their numbers might suggest, and the songwriting is excellent. The latter point might be expected, as Densmore culled the best from a decade of his pop efforts to put on the CD. It's a brief introduction, but a good one, worth seeking out.

Track List:

Flowers In June * Summer Came * Break Your Crown * Obsessive (out of tune)
