The Libertine Ciel Rouge 2:05 — — THE SHARP THINGS are a rock band from New York City founded by singer/songwriter/pianist Perry Serpa. Their debut, “Here Comes The Sharp Things” (Setanta, 2003) and “Foxes & Hounds”, (Bar/None 2005). In 2007 came “A Moveable Feast”, which employed a 40-piece orchestra on six of its songs. — — By the end of 2008, Serpa had already penned in excess of 40 new tunes. The plan was to record everything and to somehow release it all, which gave birth to an album series. It was dubbed “The Dogs Of Bushwick”. — The first installment, “Green Is Good,” a loosely themed opus about class wars and economic inequality, was released in February 2013. The “Truth Is Like The Sun” followed in November of the same year. — “Adventurer’s Inn”, dropped in December 2014, saw nine more brand-new songs, produced again by Billy Polo and featuring an array of side players accompanying the mainstay core band. — “Adventurer’s Inn” was dedicated to founding member/drummer Steven Gonzalez, Serpa’s childhood friend, who lost his life-long bout with Cystic Fibrosis on September 11 of the same year. — “EverybodyEverybody” is the fourth and final installment in the album series. The recording is essentially a song cycle, offering an unbroken stream of music and sound, songs and interstitial bits, from top to bottom.Gonzalez’ drumming can be heard throughout, as most of the basic tracks were recorded prior to his passing. — — — UPC 888295387224 — The Amazon ASIN for the mp3 version of this CD is B01BHC4MXA — Another listing by Zip
