Confessions Of A Corn Silo – Stretches Of Concrete (Corn Silo Productions) Matt Reischling’s second record under the Confessions of A Corn Silo moniker continues his slightly wonky approach to post-Pavement alt. pop. Aided by a group of talented friends, Stretches Of Concrete’s 22 tracks don’t overstay their welcome thanks to the eclectic approach to much of the material and the off-kilter charm with which it’s performed. It might not be to everyone’s liking, but for me there much to enjoy in an album where short instrumental passages vie with Floydian proggy space rock and Neil Young (Jung) inspired alternative, acoustic songs. Perhaps it loses its way a little towards the end, but it’s easy to forgive. There’s vision here. Unfocussed in parts, but vision, nonetheless. If you make it over to their MySpace page, be sure to check out “Useless Space Junk”. It’s my current favourite, and I’m in the mood to share. www.myspace.com/confessionsofacornsilo Tony S. Next
