Calvin Johnsonplays guitar and sings his songs in combination with Gabriel Will on assortedstringed instruments and the contributions of several drummers who have madetheir mark on the Hive Dwellers: Spencer Kelley, Brett Lyman and K.E.Sixx.The Hive Dwellers have toured the U.S. twice around and saturated the Northwestwith their action-packed sound over the last three years. Following somecarefully-crafted out-of-control studio wizardry in Olympia's Dub Narcotic Studiothey emerged with this, a debut album, Hewn from the Wilderness [KLP241]. Saidstudio wizardry was enhanced by the presence of Dub Narcotic regulars who lenttheir instrumental and production prowess to stunning effect: Karl Blau, FredThomas and Brett Lyman, all of who have played on or produced recordings oftheir own plus those of Chain \u0026amp; the Gang, LAKE, the Curious Mystery andArrington de Dionyso. Heavy potatoes.What does it all mean? The album contains the life force behind K and of whatCalvin believes rock'n'roll sounds like: simply stitched beat-centric guitar,hollowed-out drums and muscley vocals. Through the Dub Narcotic musicalunderground his deep hypnotic singing voice drives lyrics like ''the beating of myfoolish tell-tale heart'' straight to the old schooler heart in all of us, and his fervor fora more primitive, 60's garage sound is unapologetically dance-driven: Calvin wantsyou to dance, and he wants to dance with you. Remember that throwbacksentiment ''it sent me''-- as in, this music has such idiosyncratic joy I find myselfrejuvenated, even delivered, after hearing it? Remember when you weren't afraid todance like a puppet, wave your arms or bob your head because no one cared - itwas all about the music, about getting to it, not getting it? Remember that perfectsummer at the perfect age with those perfect friends? Hewn from the Wildernesscaptures those feelings of wistful indulgence; it's warm yet wild, sparse and fresh,and real Northwest rock'n'roll.A who's who of K emerges on Hewn from the Wilderness; for instance, Jeremy Jaythrows down the beat on ''A Woman Named Trudy'' and Karl Blau plays guitar allover the place, bass on ''Nothin' but the Buryin'''. Contributing musicians includethe Vibrarian's K.E. Sixx, Dub Narcotic Sound System\/Chain \u0026amp; the Gang's BrianWeber, Wallpaper\/Basemint's Spencer Kelley, City Center\/Saturday LooksGood to Me's Fred Thomas; when all the dust has settled, Calvin Johnson, GabrielWill and Evan Hashi emerge as the musical core of the Hive Dwellers.- Calvin Johnson is one of the fathers of the independent rock juggeraut. -''Ooohcities'' (2006)- Calvin Johnson is one That sentiment, that the songs we write are us, rings truewith the whole spirit of this album, and of Johnson's music in general. Here makingmusic is about expressing who we are and how we view the world; for creative soulslike him, writing songs is an integral part of being. - Pop Matters (What Was Me;2002)Tracklist1.
