David Wax Museum - Guesthouse (2015)

Entering a self-described Technicolor world, David Wax Museum s new album Guesthouse (Oct 16, Thirty Tigers) melds the band s strong acoustic sound with synthesizers, layers of percussion, and adventurous sonic processing. Recorded with producer Josh Kaufman (Josh Ritter, Craig Finn, Bob Weir) and with the core of the band s touring line-up from the last several years, Guesthouse captures the rock energy of the band s live show which has topped best of lists at Newport Folk and SXSW. Guesthouse showcases frontman David Wax s most direct and personal songwriting to date, which isn t surprising given that since the last album over three years ago, he s married his band s co-creator Suz Slezak and the two have started their own family with the arrival of daughter Calliope (named after the Greek muse of epic poetry). Thematically, the album celebrates the changing circumstances of life and paints a brilliant picture of how the stakes have been raised a sentiment that has had a huge impact on how the band makes decisions.
