Spottiswoode & His Enemies

Thursday, August 21, 2008

Also: New York-based septet Spottiswoode & His Enemies is a swirling cocktail of indie-rock, folk, country and even big band music. Englishman Jonathan Spottiswoode leads the ensemble, whose unusual band name is part of a running gag of criminal intrigue in liner notes and on an entertaining web site. The real entertainment, however, lies in the songs and their clever arrangements. Spottiswoode & His Enemies join us for a live performance.

Had never heard Spottispode -- terrific. Funny and haunting. I'm probably nuts but something about his singing and lyrics remind me of Leonard Cohen -- a great favorite. An album may be an emergency purchase.
