Comments: From the label:
"Miles Kurosky, former lead singer and songwriter of indie rock heroes Beulah, has announced that his first solo album, titled The Desert of Shallow Effects, will be released March 9. ... Produced by Kurosky and engineered by former Beulah member Eli Crews (Deerhoof, Why?), The Desert of Shallow Effects is a meticulously crafted, ambitious gem, utilizeing a case of more than two dozen musicians (among them several ex-Beulah members) playing a vast array of instruments. ...
"The critically praised San Fransisco-based Beulah was formed in 1996 by Miles Murosky and Bill Swan. The band released four albums and was very influential in the indie-rock world, gaining fans with their contemplative lyrics and catchy, '60's influenced melodies."
I was a big Beulah fan in high school, though I must admit I haven't been as into them lately. Kurosky's solo release still sounds very Beulah-y in its composition and thoughtful lyricism, which is good, but his voice can still be borderline annoying, which is not as good. I liked "Pink Lips, Black Lungs" best.
