Juniper Tar
To The Trees (BusStop Records)
Bringing an indie
edge to their brand of alt country, Milwaukee’s Juniper Tar handle
dreamy three-part-harmonies and weighty poetic license with an ease
belying their debut-album status. Sleepy melodi- cism mixes with
droning guitars in brooding, late-night trips of Americana. Still, Tar
has clearly digested their mutual record collections too well for
convenient Wilco comparisons; and the best here sounds like Daniel
Lanois producing an ego-less, Harvest-era Neil Young. But mostly To the Trees is
made of rustic, meandering ruminations that, somehow, embody a brand of
flannel-clad, Pabst-swilling hipsterdom that is so distinctly
Milwaukee.
