Cass McCombs
Artist Description
Cass McComb’s
current release, Dropping the Writ, represents another shift in the
career of this amazing songwriter. Most of the songs were written when
McCombs moved back to California in the fall of 2005. Assisted by
friends, including some who had contributed to his album, A, the new
album was recorded partially in a studio as well as in the solitude of
his newfound home. The music alternates between mania and wonder,
within a song-form that McCombs continues to expand upon lyrically,
often with the humorous, wry use of stories plucked from his own life
experience. Dropping the Writ, an informal term which Wikipedia defines
as “the procedure in some government systems where the head of
government goes to the head of state and formally advise them to
dissolve parliament,” is the first release by McCombs on Domino Records
of London.
