Tattooing has been really good to me. I've worked hard and reaped many rewards from my craft. I've been afforded opportunities to travel, I've met amazing artists who have influenced me, some clients have become dear friends and every once in a while I get to meet people whom I've admired from afar. Today I get to tattoo the vocalist/guitarist from #thesheiladivine . I picked up this disc after hearing their incredible single "hum", the song one of those perfect amalgamation of time and sound. It's dynamic loud/soft composition, the beautifully achey vocals and early Radiohead-esque instrumentation make it a lightening bolt from the early 'aughties. It always puzzled me that this album was released on a metal label. The rest of the album is solid, if somewhat slower than the single. The band were always great live and drew large crowds here in Buffalo.
I'm listening to mp3s of the album because my wife kidnapped the cd yesterday and it is currently trembling in her car (the place cds go to be maimed and die).
I'm curious as to where the conversation will travel today during our tattoo session while he is in town. Those conversations take of on a life of their own and I'm looking forward to the experience and adding a new layer of appreciation to the band as well.
