Shake The Baron  - Ghost Hits
2012, Super Duper RecordsNew York Rockers Shake The Baron go for a neo-Britishsounding new wave/shoe gaze menagerie on their second album Ghost Hits.  Vocalist Andrew Oedel is appealing, with avoice that’s scratchy and accessible, yet with a purity of tone that issurprising.  Shake The Baron plays with arhythmic, guitar-driven style that’s easy on the ears.  The songwriting on Ghost Hits is poetically solid, but delves too deeply into thebroken psyche of a simpering, perseverating heart.While tunes such as “Jones”, “Let’s Go Underground” and “WeMade A Habit” show signs of real life, Shake The Baron is too often caughtasunder by a whirling storm of self-pity and regret.  The inward focus here is just too much, andwhile broken hearts have driven rock and roll since Les Paul struck the firstelectric chord, here it becomes a real drag on the music.  Shake The Baron shows real potential on Ghost Hits, but never manages to breakout of their own doldrums here.Rating: 2.5 Stars (Out of 5)Ghost Hits drops on June 12, 2012.  Learn more at www.shakethebaron.com.
