JOSS/If
Not For the Hovering... . Armed with enough spooky tremolo-guitar
effects and slinky maracas to put Friends of Dean Martinez out of business,
this NYC-area trio provides the soundtrack for a burning cantina. Think
of Joss as Yo La Tengo's evil cowpoke twin, with Ambrose Liu singing in
a flatter-than-Ira monotone and sculpting menacing guitar epics.
