(Alternative Rock) Nikki Sudden & Phil Shoenfelt - Golden Vanity - 2009, MP3, VBR 173-227 kbps

Recorded in Berlin in 1998; released in 2009...this is an historic gathering of two underground
icons of the European/U.K rock scene. Sudden played in Swell Maps & the Jacobites; Shoenfelt
with his bands, Fatal Shore & Southern Cross. Both have uniquely affecting vocal styles:
Sudden's Dylanesque, emotionally lethargic-sounding empathy & Shoenfelt's deep, riveting
baritone. Both know their way around some stunning, classic rock riffs, and have the ability to
write songs that find a way to move the listener. The songs have a classic, raw and immediate
rock `n' roll feel, generating a positive & gritty, irresistible energy that captures a special moment
in time.
