Catherine Market is a truly yummy sounding record. Jonathan Byerley – also of Brooklyn’s Plates of Cake - has a voice so low in pitch and so rounded that it sounds slowed down. It's oddly serene and suitably bass leaden for the psychedelic intro track A Theme for All of Us . Byerley’s voice is the focus of the album. It seems heavy and aged as good whiskey, reminding us of Lou Reed. With a conversational and honest delivery, it’s easy to picture him telling the story on a sunny porch somewhere, especially on the reflective [...]
After a thin week for new albums during the July 4th holiday, things got back to normal last week with a hefty new batch of fresh releases from Dirty Projectors, Twin Shadow, Deleted Scenes, Digitalism, Summer Camp, Husky, Communist Daughter and more.

1. Jonathan Byerley - "I Still Pull The Silver (From The Penny Drawer)" (The frontman for the Brooklyn-based indie rock band Plates Of Cake steps out with a folk-leaning solo album, Catherine Market , out this week on La Société Expéditionnaire . Lyrically, his music is Dylan-inspired and his voice resembles Cohen in timbre and the dusty, shuffling psych-folk shows a new and captivating side to the songwriter on his sophomore release.) http://www.la-soc.com/jbyerley .html Download: http://la-soc.com/singlemp3s/i _still_pull_the_silver. mp3 [...]

Plenty to soundtrack your Friday with. Brooklyn’s indie pop three-piece Violens have just released their second LP, True , on Slumberland Records. The album’s first single, Totally True , has a dreamy stone-washed feel, celebrating bands like Cocteau Twins and The Chameleons . a [...]
A while back we opened the book on the awkwardly-named, but mighty talented Plates Of Cake . Lead singer Jonathan Byerley dropped us a line yesterday to let us know he has packed up his guitar, his uber-literate musings and his noteworthy croon, and set off on his inaugural solo voyage. Catherine Market , available on July 10th from La Société Expéditionnaire, is a bit of a throwback; a singer-songwriter record that eschews many of the cliches that drag the genre into the quagmire of cliche. [...]

Plates Of Cake frontman Jonathan Byerley channels the spirit of a true rock & roll outcast, delivering an oddball classic of literate, rambling gems (think Skip Spence and Gene Clark). Catherine Market , his debut solo LP, is a contemporary twist on sun-scorched country-rock; a golden key to the long-locked bungalows of Laurel Canyon circa 1969. The Brooklyn-based songwriter recorded Catherine Market in Boulder, Colorado with friends at Rockbox Analog Fidelity, a now-defunct basement studio that was once the center of a revolving cast of [...]

Below is a list of quotes I assembled from the past week. Who knows, maybe we'll make this a regular feature? BeHOLD: "I am a waiter on a private yacht / I look at all the faces and I want what they've got" - Plates Of Cake singer/principle songwriter Jonathan Byerley, talkin' it straight.
