Michigan singer-songwriter David Vandervelde began recording "The
Moonstation House Band three years ago, when he moved into ex-Wilco
keyboardist Jay Bennett's Chicago studio at the ripe old age of nineteen. True
to its groovy title, The Moonstation features reverb-drenched roots rock
driven by Vandervelde's shaggy vocals and guitar. He manages to be both
highbrow and homespun: "Can't See Your Face No More" is a plea to win
his girl back from her "crooked lover," Jesus Christ; "Nothin' No" is a
porch-rock ode to booze and summer love. Vandervelde does better with
uptempo tracks like "Jacket" than he does on heavy-handed snoozers like
"Corduroy Blues" and "Moonlight Instrumental," but this house band
deserves a residency -- or at least a follow-up album.
