Album Description

Foxes & Hounds is the eagerly awaited follow-up to The Sharp Things' 2003 debut CD, Here Comes The Sharp Things. <P>Featuring performances by more than a dozen musicians, this ambitious effort takes The Sharp Things' penchant for mood variation to new heights. Take the upbeat tune "The Suicide Bombers"; sporting a lyric about self-destructive Hollywood screenwriters, the song will have you doing the Electric Slide on the first pass. "Homeless" harnesses the band's classic grandiose melancholia, while "She Left With The Sun" conjures up a Motown collision with Traffic and the Left Banke. "50 Heads Over High Street" reminds us that the band can still rock out when they want to--but not without a blissful string arrangement.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars 2nd time's the charm.......2006-05-22

I learned of The Sharp Things by seeing them open for The Tindersticks. They won me over as well as the rest of the crowd, I went out and bought Here Comes The Sharp Things the next day and that record was one of my favorites that year. I was anxiously waiting to see what they could do second time around. Foxes and Hounds has surpassed my high expectations. The songs are even stronger and the lush arrangements of strings and brass add to the beauty. She Left With The Sun is absolutely gorgeous and 50 Heads Over High Street shows a rockier side. As the opening track promises, There Will Be Violins... indeed.
