Sky Cries Mary - Small Town - CD

(HooDooh Music)
Whenever I think of Sky Cries Mary, the band Cocteau Twins comes to mind as well. I think this is due to the atmospheric female vocals and that they both hit the college radio airwaves around the same time. Sky Cries Mary has a bit more of an edge to their music and the combo
of the male and female vocals help give the songs more depth.

"Land of All" had me looking at the liner notes to see if John S. Hall from King Missile was a guest vocalist on the tune. They get their trip hop groove going on the song "I'm Always Home", which will help pacify those of you who are eagerly anticipating the new Portishead CD which I hear is in the works. My other favorites on this disc include "Small Town" and "Travel Light".
