Resolved.
A Long, Lovely List of Repairs, the title of Amelia's third full-length album, may or may not deliberately allude to Shawn Colvin's A Few Small Repairs. The Portland-based band has a lot to offer the Triple-A folk-rock crowd. But where Colvin's hit songs are based on catchy choruses, Amelia veers left into European cabaret, jazz-inflected lullabies and Ennio Morricone-style atmospherics. "Tragedy" only hints at Repairs' truly "lovely" moments.

Birdsongs of the Mesozoic's albums are being reissued by Cuneiform Records. The original releases came at a time when I was trying to make sense of my passion for both punk rock and straight-ahead jazz.
