Album Description
With the release of "The Angel of the Squared Circle", the Pedal Steel Transmission emerges with its most commanding performance to date. Songwriters Dan Schneider and Gary Pyskacek have reached a new level of maturity and intensity, and both seem to have found their own distinct voices. Blending and weaving a cohesive story and experience throughout the record, the Pedal Steel Transmission has forged a memoir of lonely nights and harrowing demons, a cinematic experience of sexual and emotional self-destruction seen through the eyes of everyday confusion and anxiety. <P>From the tattered, apocryphal caravan sound of the album's opener "Waiting" to the quiet awake/asleep sounds of "Amy" and "Maritime Glare", the album unfolds into a beautiful story that ends all too soon. The album's diversity is soon felt in the razor-wielding cry of "Gilman Report", where the band pushes the limitations and boundaries of standard post-rock. The starvation of "I Saved the Last High Style for You", and the quiet sonnet of "In Mourning:Reprise" find the listener staring blankly out the window on a pale rainy Chicago afternoon. <P>"The Angel of the Squared Circle" achieves and exceeds the promise of "In the Winter it Makes the Dead Grass Look Green" (Cardboard Sangria, 2002), the breakthrough lp that gave the first indication of the capabilities of this ensemble. "Angel" documents their continuing evolution, capturing the sound of a band whose vision extends infinitely skyward.Customer Reviews:
