Review

The second side effort from Grifters frontman Dave Shouse is a leap from a one-man recording project to a full-blown band. Those Bastard Souls are a true indie-rock supergroup, featuring bassist Matt Field (Red Red Meat), drummer Kevin March, violinist Joan Wasserman (Dambuilders), and guitarist Michael Tighe (Jeff Buckley's band). While some of the songs are in the vein of Shouse's other band, a few unexpected sounds pop up. "Has Anybody Seen Her?" is eerily Mellencamp-like, driving fiddle, athematic chorus, and all. On the title cut, Shouse dips into a bag of soulful croons and invokes the spirit of Neil Diamond at his heartbreakin' best. That may not sound like indie rock, but neither does the album. Doug Easley's production keeps the sound crystal clear and leans on their decibels, even during the more sullen moments. Still, the rock songs fare best, especially the joyously propulsive "Train from Terminal Boredom." All in all, a solid album, perfect for summer stomping and late-night hootenannies. --Jason Josephes
