SHORTSTACK

Shortstack, Washington D.C.'s favorite veteran post-Americana rock band, celebrates their 10-year anniversary with their most realized artistic expression yet, "Please Leave My Mind." Both the CD and LP will be released on April 20, 2010 by Takoma Park, MD based label Free Dirt Records. Their 3rd full-length offering is Shortstack’s most accessible to date, as the band has clearly matured as songwriters and studio artists. Subtly checking a bit of their signature creepy twang at the studio door, Shortstack's focus this time around is on crafting a more sophisticated, yet precise collection of dynamic tracks, while bringing lead singer Adrian Carroll's vocals to the forefront, and tackling a more personal domain of lyrical topics. It’s as if the band has traded in their Model-T for a Lamborghini in their journey through the dusty roots & blues/early rock n roll landscape that makes up old weird America. Gritty yet polished, uneasy yet relaxed, complex yet simply catchy as your favorite Beatles tune, “Please Leave My Mind” satisfies the soul, no matter what shape it’s in.
