█░ ░█
█░ "First off, Ral Partha Vogelbacher is a band, not a ░█
█░ person, though the person who leads this merry band of ░█
█░ pranksters is San Francisco's Chadwick Bidwell. 'Kite vs. ░█
█░ Obelisk' is the band's second album, full of carefully ░█
█░ crafted pop songs that tell tales of both inspiration and ░█
█░ despair. 'Red Hot Tugboat' is about shooting bottle rockets ░█
█░ into crab lairs, running from the law, and commiting crimes ░█
█░ while stuck in a less than honest partnership. 'Wrong Bike' ░█
█░ follows someone riding around Chapel Hill the morning after ░█
█░ a house burnt to the ground the morning of graduation. Mr. ░█
█░ Bidwell is a storyteller in the great indie rock tradition ░█
█░ of Mr. Stephen Malkmus, Mr. Simon Joyner or Mr. John ░█
█░ Darnielle; listen to 'Jasper Downs, III' or 'Spanish ░█
█░ Ambassador' as examplers. Ral Partha also recalls the ░█
█░ triumvirate of rockers musically, particularly Mr Malkmus. ░█
█░ The man also has a keen sense of humor - just look at song ░█
█░ titles like 'Take Me To Your Dacha' or 'I'm A Jai Alai Kinda ░█
█░ Guy'." -PR blip ░█
█░ ░█
█░ "Ral Partha returns with an album which took nearly a year ░█
█░ to complete. Acoustic songs structured around lyricshave ░█
█░ been hijacked by a cast of supporting musicians culled from ░█
█░ other San Francisco artists and include representa-tives ░█
█░ from brian_and_chris and Thee More Shallows. Imagery ░█
█░ consists of swampy origins, martial experiences, dangerin ░█
█░ Russia, kites carrying obelisks, sickly bobcats, taxmen ░█
█░ dealing with wraiths in the night, angry squires, letters ░█
█░ torecord companies, tugboats exploding under bridges, ░█
█░ teasing the crabs, betting on jai alai, and avoiding ░█
█░ ambassadors." -SCSDistribution.com blip ░█
█░ ░█
█░ "Ral Partha returns with an album which took nearly a year ░█
█░ to complete. Songs range in style from the opening feedback ░█
█░ and quick stops and starts of 'Warhorses Provide Presumptive ░█
█░ Perspectives' to the drunken acoustic guitar and drum ░█
█░ machine orchestration of 'Kite Carry Obelisk Over Lake ░█
█░ Victoria' to the sweeping beauty and humorous melodrama of ░█
█░ the pedal steel and echoplex soaked "red hot tugboat" to the ░█
█░ frantic folk of 'Jasper Jowns, III' to every lady's favorite ░█
█░ 'Luck on Every Finger'. Nearly all the songs were written as ░█
█░ tiny three minute long stories. 'Take me to your Dacha' was ░█
█░ written from the perspective of a drunken Russian official ░█
█░ plotting a coup during the leadership of Gorbachev. 'Night ░█
█░ Stinger' chronicles the decision of a taxman to exchange his ░█
█░ infant son for a life in which he would not feel the ░█
█░ consequence of his actions, yet he must first face the ░█
█░ repercussions of this final act before gaining his goal. ░█

█░ ░█
█░ Ral Partha is a rpg miniature maker, and referrs to ░█
█░ Chadwick Bidwell's days of roll playing, and some weird ░█
█░ occurences where his parents thought he was going to kill ░█
█░ himself after his character died, so they forbade him from ░█
█░ playing "those games" anymore. Vogelbacher is the name of a ░█
█░ classmate who is now the source of many a stories. I've ░█
█░ forgotten the exact tales, but you get the idea. RPV is a ░█
█░ lovely indie-rock story-telling clan, creating tales for ░█
█░ those with short attention spans. ░█
