Our Rating:
This is Tav Falco's latest record Store day special a great new 12" EP on either Black or Purple vinyl that any fans of Tav's will love as much as I do.

The 12" EP opens with Dance Me To The River taken as a slow waltz across your speakers with very smoky backing vocals as Tav tells this tale of love and betrayal in Paris with the gentlest percussion and a sense of foreboding at how this dance of daggers will end.

This is very much in keeping with Tav's work in the last few years.
Next is Tav's take on The House Of The Rising Sun that has swelling and surging organ as Tav gets to the deep dark heart of the song, unlike how he may of treated a song like this earlier in his career, this is richly redolent of a gentility that may not have been associated with the sort of bordello this song is about. The keyboards have a very 60's Rhodes sound to them making this sound like Procol Harem.

Tony Driver is a classic Panther Burns style road song, about the adventures of Tony, this has a classic swampy bayou feel to it as Tav sings about the folks on both sides of the border and just how absurd the notion of borders really are, as the beat drives on at a rock solid pace as the guitars do some nicely weird stuff.

La Brigantessa is a tale of one of the baddest brigands around with Tav singing in English and the backing vocals in Spanish as the sad tale unfolds to some doleful accordion and trap drums it almost feels like the theme tune to a spaghetti western about La Brigantessa.

The 12" Ep closes with Tango Primavera which is a gorgeous Tango with Tav in his Casanova almost Gigolo role as the very 1920's style piano taps out the notes for the dance steps to follow into the night with Tav once more.
