The Castanets October 21, 2007

The Castanets have an eerie, open sound and a certain American folk-country spirit. Raposa's voice has a world-weary drawl, quiet and moving, which is representative of the band's sound. The band has mastered the art of tension and release for emotive effect. Plays songs with jazz school precision and folk singer guts, upright bass and rhodes piano, guitars and drums. Deer Tick, hailing from Providence, RI, plays rock, country and Americana.
