Several of my friends have gotten together to form Austin’s newest super group, Fosskit No. 5, who recently released their first CD at Cherrywood Coffeehouse on May 7. The group includes Neal Mehta (The Recliners and Halloway), John Bush (Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians), Joon-Yee Chuah on keyboards and fiddle and Bill Walter on bass. Clemency is the new CD(produced by Bush), with pop influences like The Killers and Pete Yorn, with the occasional somber touch of The Smiths and more recently, The National. The fiddle and keys add a lot of texture, bringing a modern sensibility like that of Arcade Fire. Check it out.
