Michael Cerveris
dog eared
Album US 2004 on Low Heat Records label
Rock (Indie Rock)
Nothing is quite as compelling on record as the restless fluctuations of the fractured heart, as singer/songwriter Michael Cerveris proves on his ferocious and fragile solo debut album dog eared. Cerveris’ classic 2004 recording is being distributed for the first time as a limited edition, 2 LP set, pressed on 180-gram vinyl. Just 400 copies of Tony Award winning actor Cerveris’ lush declaration of liberation from lost love affairs. dog eared was remastered for vinyl and comes in gatefold packaging with printed inner sleeves and a poster containing lyrics and unseen photos from the recording sessions. From the roiling anthem “SPCA” to the melancholy, but muscular musings of “Can’t Feel My Soul” and “Snowbound,” dog eared is a unique, confessional “family” project for Cerveris, encompassing the skills of his diverse network of musician compadres and friends: co-producer/engineer Adam Lasus (Madder Rose, Clem Snide, Helium), Sleater-Kinney’s Corin Tucker and Janet Weiss, Ken Stringfellow (Posies, REM), Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth), Laura Cantrell, Norman Blake (Teenage Fan Club), Jeremy Chatzky (They Might Be Giants), Kevin March (Guided by Voices, Dambuilders), Anders Parker (Varnaline, Space Needle), Lara Gray (Luna, Ben Lee), Joe McGinty (Psychedelic Furs), strings arranger David Arnold (Bjork) and Alex Lutes (Nightnurse, Retriever) for recording sessions that took place sporadically over the course of six months.
