The Galactic Cowboy Orchestra - Zombie Mouth (2014)
2/7/14 5:19PM
It was finally made available to the pledgemusic supporters on Wednesday. Artwork anf more *official* release date will be given soon, as well as the hardcopies being available in about a month. I would anticipate it being available on the regulars like Amazon and iTunes as well as cdbaby like some of their others.
As far as the record, I am enjoying a lot of it. The vocals do work, and it sounds like Lisi took the lead on many if not all of them. I'd say among the songs that caught my ear so far, "So Long" "Galacticty," "Give Me More" and especially the quite heavy "Sleep." I'm wondering if my friend That Drummer Guy will look to that one to play on 1 of his radio shows soon.
I also noticed a comment or two on Facebook about some of these tunes being holdovers from 1 of John Wright's old bands, Produkt, a band he played in with Greg Herriges and some others.
Track list:
1. So Long 5:27
2. Wrong Shui 5;25
3. Into You 2:23
4. Floating Intro 0:27
5. Floating 4:59
6. Going Nowhere Fast 1:48
7. All or Nothing 3:33
8. Not at All 5:30
9. Galacticty 3:50
10. ZombieMouth 5:48
11. Sleep 3:21
12. Broken Marionett 4:45
13. Give Me More 5:34

sounds intriguing, including the vocals part, lol.
I enjoy both of their proper/original music studio records enough (2009's Lookin' For a Little Strange and 2011's All Out of Peaches) and , but who knows, this may be better. John Wright consistently makes interesting music (namely with his awesome progressive folk/rock group Lehto & Wright). TGCO are newer, thus, may have more to do/say/experiment/evolve, etc
Zombie Mouth may be a leap of sorts for them.
Zombie Mouth
Pre-order our new album Zombie Mouth here! Help save us from the zombie apocalypse!
The Galactic Cowboy Orchestra (GCO) has been freakin’ people’s minds with our crazy art-rock music for 4 years – we’ve released 4 albums: 2 original, 2 cover. It’s been awhile since our last double-release and the time has come!
After two years of touring, playing some great shows and making new friends, we’ve managed to write and record a new album! We love it and are excited to share the music with all of you. As many of you know, our last two original albums featured complex instrumental tunes. But, man, we like to sing too! So, with Zombie Mouth (that’s what we’re calling it :)), we delve into original vocal explorations as well.
We are involved in an ever-changing music business that can no longer count on record labels for any kind of real financial backing. More and more bands are acting as their own label and this is true for GCO too. We do what we do – touring, album releases, rental costs for album release parties – is all paid for with our own gig/merch income.
We started this pledge music campaign to help us cover mastering and manufacturing costs for our CD and vinyl. That’s right, vinyl! Now our fans can be involved in our little, independent GCO record label too! :) We’ve assembled some great rewards and we’re looking forward to getting this record done and in your hands as soon as possible.
We’re stoked to involve our fans in this project and, through your involvement in this campaign, we’ll be sharing exclusive downloads and videos so you can keep up with our crazy pre-release antics.

Trent Romens - Aware (2011)
Trent Romens on Facebook
stream the album here
1 Stimulate Me 4:44
2 Material Blues 2:25
3 Fairy Tale 4:14
4 Going Down Slow 7:35
5 Right Back Where I Started 5:14
6 I'm Sorry Sheriff 6:01
7 Key to the Highway 4:20
8 With You 4:56
9 Loves Lost Cause 4:56
10 Hey Now 3:05
This is the debut record from this Minnesota-based Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter whose primary sound is in Blues Rock.
Along with Erick Serna and the Killing Floor's debut record The Grip this adds to a rather unexpected interest in new Blues-Rock artists.
I saw Trent live with The Galactic Cowboy Orchestra once as a guest at the Dakota, and then headline his own show this year alongside them a few weeks ago at the Ritz Theater in Northeast Minneapolis.
Some of this is really tasteful, blues rock. Almost like Carlos Santana, namely on some of the solos. The track "Loves Lost Cause" maybe stands out the most. In fact that might be the best song on here. It builds gradually, and then a couple of minutes in, he goes into bluesy salsa-prog mode, that actually I think might go even further live. The show I saw him a few weeks ago he probably did and my memory isn't perfect on specifics. Because the jamming that takes place on that one is wonderful.
A number of other tunes on this album have moments, from great twang guitar, to soulful, methodical, bluesy candy. I'd say there's really not an unworthy song on here. But my other favorites come to mind "I'm Sorry Sheriff" "Fairy Tale" "Right Back Where I Started" and "Key to the Highway."
I can see why TGCO have worked with him, and Lisi Wright of TGCO represents him. And this (debut) record of his, is with New Folk Records, which also has the likes of TGCO, Lehto & Wright, and Greg Herriges. John Wright actually plays bass on it and did some production work, which is really clean sounding, not surprisingly.
New Folk Records may be folk/folk-related, but that label is kind of Minnesota's own progressive music label of sorts.
Trent Romens: definitely one of the best new artists in Minnesota, and one of the better new artists I discovered in 2011.
