The Premonitions: The Worst Way
by eikonproductions "The Premonitions have managed to put together a good handful of imaginatively-arranged tunes, which blend and bend genres from trip-hop to hick-pop, with a smattery sprinkling of influence from everything between. The rhythm section keeps things charmingly eccentric (though solid, of course) while the melody/harmony from Mark Callahan’s effected electric guitar and Maureen’s piano and voice weave in and out of themselves in a body-sway-inducing sort of garage psychedelia. This is a group of people who have a lot of diverse influences, who like doing things well, and whose inventiveness and work ethic seem to be propelling them along through appropriate acclaim."Tony Floyd, Flagpole
