Rasputina - Sister Kinderhook

8/10

Another strong album from Melora and Co. Lyrically, it is stronger than Oh Perilous World, which suffered from lyrics that felt quite stilted at times. Musically, I think more interesting than they have done in quite awhile. Arrangement-wise, they have stripped all the recorders, dulcimers and pianos from the previous album; and kept just clean cellos, the occasional banjo, and the appearance of a erhu on one track. With the exception of one brief appearance, they have got rid of the distorted cellos, which was quite a surprise.

I think the only other person who listens to Rasputina on this board is WWKD, but all should listen to the cello-rific goodness.
