about the album
“...fuse(s) the warring impulses of punk and progressive rock with a cross-cultural traditional sound shot through with jazz tendencies.”
-- Dirty Linen (Feb/Mar 2007)
“...intriguing, appealing... the Bosch mixes and matches Middle Eastern and Celtic folk music with (Katy) Thomasberg's siren songs to create often mesmerizing tracks... ...there’s a lighter-than-air quality to these songs, even as they often revolve around drones. Unusual and unusually attractive, Felonious Bosch gives folk tradition a 3.0 upgrade.” -- Michael Toland, High Bias
“...New Dark Ages is very aptly titled. There’s a sparseness to the sound and production that seems empty at first, but soon becomes logical... Although it might contain some elements of folk and world music... they’re very much a rock band with their own vision colored in differing shades of black.” -- Chris Nickson, all music guide
“...brings the beating heart of American rock’n’roll to graceful European traditions in a way that's really quite distinctive -- I’ve heard a lot of early music/rock fusions, but no one else has done it quite like this.” -- Sing Out!, Winter 2007
(read full review)
“...Katy Thomasberg reinvents herself as a quasi-mystic probably headed for hell as she genre splices ancient sounding melodies from many cultures with dark lyrics sung by her soaring voice. A delightfully schizoid recording that shakes you up with its light seeming sound floating through the heart of darkness.” -- Midwest Record Recap
“I like the ones that sound more like drinking songs like Drunken Brawl...” -- riftmagazine editors blog
about the EP
“...cross-pollinates European roots with a huge slug of Arabian atmosphere and a grungy undercurrent.”
-- Simon Jones, fRoots (UK) October 2004
“...quite a tease here. While each song harkens back to a different place in a different time, they are all instantly catchy and stick with you long after the CD leaves the tray.” -- Green Man Review
“...‘knocked me on my ass,’ as the saying
goes.”
-- Rev.
