Synopsis

Album Description

On his 3rd solo album Bittersweet, Victor Krummenacher tells it like it is, like it should be and like it never was. In his third (and so far best) solo album, co-founder of Camper Van Beethoven and Monks of Doom, Victor Krummenacher, takes the stage with his best friends around him and his heart on hid polished but never precious. Fans of Graham Parsons, Sparklehorse and Richard Thompson and Buckner alike will treasure the mix of tradition and experimentation that defines Bittersweet. This labor of loves lost and found finds Krummenacher in fine mettle, with eleven tales of affairs of the heart that range from country-inflected ballads to intense folk-rock and pop tunes. "Bittersweet," is a collection of love songs featuring long-time live staples such as "Radio Tower," "Rocket Fuel," and "Blind." Guest musicians include Dave Alvin, David Bryne alumnus Bruce Kaphan, Counting Crow David Immergluck, the Fastback's Mike Mustberger, and ex-Bomb axemaster Doug Hilsing! er.

CD Reviews

Honest roots rock, dark, sincere and uplifting

Pen Name? | 04/06/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I feel that few rock albums have achieved the overall quality of this one. Victor offers a very mature effort that should especially appeal to fans of Neil Young, Cracker or Wilco. His lyrics are honest and reflective. He easily goes from the country-ish roots rock of the title track into some mellower acoustic numbers, reaches a dark, rocking climax in "Not Coming Back"(featuring some excellent violin playing by Jonathan Segel, that seems to speak louder than the lyrics, emotionally). The album concludes with the excellent existential rock of "Rocket Fuel" and a beautifully touching "Maybe A True Love"(a duet with a woman named Carla Bozulich, whose voice simply fits perfectly.)
There isn't a bad song on here. I try, but my descriptions cannot really convey the strength of the songs on "Bittersweet". ... This music deserves a wider audience."
