New releases from locals Hidden Pictures, the Jinxed
A couple recent, smallish, local online releases we thought we’d bring to your attention.
Following the departure, last year, of singer-glockenspieler Michelle Gaume Sanders, Hidden Pictures is sounding more and more like a straight rock outfit than a cutesy folk-pop group. Last week, the revamped group released a three-song EP called Sister Wife, which you can hear here or here. (I’m particularly digging “Pre Madonna.”) Says bandleader Richard Gintowt: “These are the first songs that we’re releasing from a batch of tunes that I recorded with singer Claire Adams (Claire and the Crowded Stage), drummer Lennon Bone (Ha Ha Tonka), bassist Kyle Akers (Antennas Up), guitarist Jeff Freling (Victor & Penny), and keyboardist Nate Holt (Revelation: A Tribute to Journey).”
