Tue, 30 Jan 2007 22:20:35 -0800

Dabenport
Fall Theory

Dabenport has crafted the perfect album to listen to under a blanket of stars, it is truly transcendent (and thankfully, they are busy at work on a new one). Get starry-eared your own self.

Dabenport First Album reviews

Ann Arbor Paper Review by Ray Wagel

Dabenport
Self-titled
Fall Theory
A2P rating: 5.0

Residing in the raveled catacombs somewhere between country, slowcore, and dreampop is a brilliant genre-defying band. Ypsi-based Dabenport claims to “make simple country songs, and that’s all.” At the same time they have a hard time shaking off their ineluctable past as shoe-gazing rockers. But that isn’t such a bad thing. The band’s dreamescent soundscape of welded American roots music was once called “Hank Williams meets Mazzy Star,” a description that stuck for a reason. The band (Aaron Dresner, vocals, guitar; Aleise Barnett, vocals, tambourine; Vince Swain, lap steel, guitar; Jeff Navarre, bass; Robbie Linkner, drums) impels themselves by fusing their AM-radio country sensibility with space rock, creating something unlike anything else. Their independent self-titled album was recently released on Fall Theory and exemplifies a band that can make a record that parallels their live show: both are incredible experiences.

MP3s available on Northern Star records for first album.

Dabenport MP3s are now available for the first album

http://www.northernstarrecords.co.uk/

This is where you can find the whole Dabenport first album and buy MP3s of any song on it or the whole album if you want. Check it out and while you are there purchase Psychedelica Volume One it is a masterpiece of underground Psychedelia. I promise you will enjoy the compilation.

Our Drummer Matt Jones is also a damn fine singer/songwriter, you can hear his tunes at myspace.com/mattspainting. Matt loves his guns, which is made apparent by his a new EP "Right to Arms." This EP (recorded in part by Aaron Dresner of Dabenport) is a celebration of our 2nd amendment rights. Come see Matt live at one of these shows:

MISSION STATEMENT: Dabenport's music has been described as Shoegaze Country, Alt-Country, Americana so forth. Allthough all these classifacations are flattering we feel they don't specifically describe the sounds we make. We make simple country songs, and thats all. We aim to sound like Porter Wagner or Hank Williams but because of our Space Rock and Indie background we end up somewhere between here and there, and that is our sound. We use Country and Roots music as a diving board for our own ideas of music.
