With lush three-part harmonies, raucous surf-tinged guitar and tongue in cheek, the East Bay Area’s own alt-country outfit Loretta Lynch’s stirring songs reach the shady grove in all of us. A little tear in your beer, a little knife in the back - think the Wailin’ Jennies’ crankier cousins at a warehouse hoedown. It’s Americana Noir. “Home Fires”, the band’s latest, critically acclaimed album, explores the decay of domestic life: loss and regret, bitterness and ambiguity, earthy humor, sweetness and occasional spasms of optimism.IRA MARLOWE AND THE SLOW REVEALWebsite / Bandcamp / Facebook----Ira Marlowe, proprietor of Berkeley’s Monkey House, has been called “a songwriter’s songwriter.” He’s taught his craft at UC Berkeley and seen his music featured in places ranging from toney NPR to the madcap Dr. Demento show. His warm voice and smart, literate lyrics have earned him many fine awards and one crappy record deal. Frequently compared to everyone from Tom Waits to Leonard Cohen to Warren Zevon to Tom Lehrer, there’s nothing run-of-the-mill here. The tight new band injects the material with elements of Motown, Cajun, funk and no shortage of rock ’n’ roll.
