Reviews of "CARVER BROTHERS LULLABY":

"I've also been mightily impressed by the scratchy and acerbic post-MARQUEE MOON death C&W of The Tunnel, a duo whose debut album CARVER BROTHERS LULLABY is a collection of epic and strung-out Chain Gang-meets-Robert Quinean Blank Generation Blues. Brothers'n'sisters, y'all know how much I hate white blues and I positively detest most of the sub-Juicy Lucy, sub-sub-Capt. Beefheartisms that spew out the modern Underground. But The Tunnel is an entirely different kettle o'viciousness. For a start they got a songwriter! Moreover, they gotta traditional side that wouldn't fare badly playing Alice's 'Ballad of Dwight Fry' in a bassless Shockabilly stylee...These guys is Motherfuckers, no less. I wish them well and offer thanks for this major mudslide."

"Broken heart blues thrown spastic into the approaching night...I hear a little of that dark gothic backwoods sound that I like when it slips out of a 16 Horsepower song, but here it's like they switched out the old Americana for a slightly fresher and more concrete based skyscraper vision. Travelling along the gutters and rain swept sidewalks instead of the old countryside dirt roads...Gothically punk and beautiful."
