The Chamber Strings CD Month of Sundays $9.99 ~ FREE SHIPPING
~ FREE SHIPPING
Hello. I spent nearly 10 years selling on that other site (you can check my feedback there; It's under the same ID as this one; over 3200 positives, 99.7%). But I thought I'd give this new site a try.
I'm just getting started here, so please excuse the amateur appearance. I'll have the place looking better shortly.
Like all of my cds, this is an Original CD, with original inserts (NO CD-Rs or bootlegs).....
Here's some info or review ............
The sophomore release from the Windy City’s biggest secret, the Chamber Strings, Month of Sundays is a rich, textural album not too unlike the histrionic sounds of Pulp, sans the sexual depravity. Leader Kevin Junior takes the wheel on this lilting, almost loungey excursion, fraught with focused songwriting and sharply executed arrangements that recall the heyday of American Wall of Sound pop excess. This group is a walking indie contradiction. Whereas most bands on independent labels don’t experiment with instruments any weirder than a keyboard, The Chamber Strings go the whole hog on lush atmospherics, like strings, brass, vibes, a banjo, and even tubular bells. However, their secret weapon is pianist Carolyn Engelmann, who adds both jaunty, rhythmic parts and delicate melodies to the Chamber stew. Mesmerizing, symphonic tunes like "The Road Below" and the aching "For the Happy Endings," verge on brilliance, overflowing with gorgeous vocals and heartfelt earnestness. However, the album’s centerpiece, the strangely soulful "It’s No Wonder" takes the cake, combining a stuttering, piano-laden rhythm with a chorus as sweeping as it is infectious. Month of Sundays is too sophisticated and dreamy to be true, and thus it is destined to be one of the most egregiously overlooked pop records of 2001. Get it now and say you knew them way back when! Tracks 1. Month Of Sundays 2. The Fool Sings Without Any Song 3. Last Lovers 4. Make It Through The Summer 5. For The Happy Endings 6. It's No Wonder 7. Let Me Live My Own Life 8. Beautiful You 9.

Editorial reviews
3 out of 5 - ...A disc tinged with romance....featuring strings aplenty, Phil Spector-like orchestrations...and songs unaffected by anachronism or irony...
Alternative Press (06/01/2001)
...An unabashed homage to classic pop tunesmithery....Kevin Junior can't miss: a gentle, personable vocal style, guitars that serve the song...piano and organ motifs that nurture his sublime melodies and arrangements warm enough to melt the hearts of Eskimos...
