1888
Virginia's 1888 has found what it needed to put
the creative edge on their new collective sound - reverberating hints of Let-It-Be-Beatles
meets alt-country psychedelics ala WILCO - in the studio and on stage. Lead vocalist
and songwriter Brad Rosenberg delivers most of the song structures to the group
while encouraging each performer to make each part their own. Lead-guitarist and
vocalist Daniel Driskell also co-writes material giving 1888 a broad span of technique
and flavor. Driskell has mastered the electric and lap steel guitar displaying
some of the finest lead work to date leaving the listener with jaws dropped. Glenn
Mungcals chiming guitar work creates a wonderful dynamic with Bobby Rangel's insane
drum style, which goes from slightly jazzy to extremely straightforward on the
flip of a dime.
