Prophets & Pawns named RARB Pick of 2008
The Penny Loafers are extremely proud and humbled to have Prophets chosen as one of the Picks of 2008. Head over to RARB to see the rest of the list, and read below to find out what Dave Trendler thought.
"I listened to this album more than any other in 2008 because of five great solo performances. Gold Lion has the fiercest, snarliest, sneeriest female soloist I've ever heard. I love her performance, and I prefer this version to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs! The minimalist arrangement and play-it-cool male/female duet solo on Waiting for My Ruca is still fun to hear, even after the annoying radio dial intro. Samson's soloist is gorgeously light, open, and clear, but what continues to please is her incredibly accurate sense of pitch and heartfelt phrasing. She's earnest and engaging and her solo is wonderful. The jewel of the album is the solo performance of The Predatory Wasp Of The Palisades Is Out To Get Us!. His voice is beautiful and silky smooth in the song's opening lower registers, yet when I begin the song, I ache to hear the later verses. The soloist's tone is staggeringly smooth as he effortlessly glides from his chest-voiced professions of love up into his highest, radiant notes. This soloist has one of the most beautiful voices I've had the pleasure of reviewing for RARB. If I could sing "I" like this guy, that is all I would ever sing."
