Camphor

Led by acclaimed film composer Max Avery Lichtenstein, Camphor finds Lichtenstein bringing his dramatic sense of melody and expansive production to this great collection of conceptual, melancholic pop. Featuring members of indie all-star bands like Mercury Rev, Beirut and Bright Eyes, "Drawn to Dust" is a beautifully nuanced record that fans of Beck's more somber side (a la "Sea Change"), Sparklehorse and Black Heart Procession will want to check out. --Other Music, NYC
