Nick Oliveri (Acoustic) + Droids Attack, Helen Money at The Frequency
Apparently, Nick Oliveri got the memo that he could form his own band and move on after infamously being fired from Queens Of The Stone Age by Josh Homme. Oliveri’s second solo release, Death Acoustic, though, is awfully lacking in punch. The acoustic album covers QOTSA, Dwarves, GG Allin, and Danzig tracks, and his tuneless caterwauling renders the whole thing a mush of treble-heavy guitar and double-tracked barking vocals. Chicago-based cellist-composer Alison Chesley's (a.k.a. Helen Money) dedication to making it a viable non-stuffy instrument is hardly a gimmick. Her work on that front continues this decade as a solo artist, and her sophomore effort, In Tune, exemplifies her dedication to the instrument: Chilling, unsettling, and engaging, the cello has never sounded more transfixing.
