Beautifully hand crafted songs. - Poster
Boy - (8) Jesse and company are amazing. I so desperately want them to tour! - Dreadneck - (5.5) Amber Dust has 3 members and two of them are on here (ACT) I know one of them is Jesse but I am not sure which the other one is. Without Windows is a good CD that plays in CD p[layers. You have to put the disc in and hit play. Then just sit back and the music will come out of the speakers and in to your ears where your brain will process it in some manner I am unaware of and then send impulses to your groove bone which will then start rocking back and forth until you are done with yourself and can no longer feel your hands. - Max Power - (3.5) A real gem from Jesse and his bandmates. I can’t believe how much I’ve lobed and played this one. Not as warm and mellow as it seems at first, it has an autumnal, pastoral and slightly unsettling |

| feel to it. Excellent songwriting and the vocal delivery is spot on – every word enunciated clearly. Beautifully played and well-paced, and they’re even cheeky enough to include a hidden track, which I take to be Jesse crooning. - Loonrider - (3) | |||||||||||
| Like autumn colours, Amber Dust’s (Jesse Nickerson, Shayne Greene and Mike Harvey) debut Without Windows shows rich and vibrant hues through their music. As much as Ryan Adams’ Cold Roses guitar influence can be heard in songs like Sunset Comes, Timepiece, Steady As A Leaf and New Beginning, it is Jesse Nickerson’s distinctive voice that you first notice. Amber Dust has made an impressive first record. “I see windows are all busted out. The broken glass is scattered all about.” Without Windows was marketed successfully as open source. Please have your New Hampshire windows boarded up and have people buy your next release Supply and Demand. - Gas OJ - (3) | |||||||||||

Ira, Georgia and James open their best album in years with ‘Pass the Hatchet, I’m Goodkind’, a 10-plus minute jam usually reserved for the end song on a YLT effort. Over the next 13 tracks the band covers more ground than ever before. Jazz, rock, circus, longing, humor, dance, orchestral, early seventies fusion, early 80’s electronic punk, rainy days, 60’s psychedelic pop fuzz, old school punk, Sesame Street piano, Beach Boy’s harmonies and they close with the nearly 12 minute epic, ‘The Story of Yo La Tango’. “We opened our hearts, it’s true. But not to any of you…” -
Track 11 - (10) Musically, all over the map. may be Yo La Tengo's best. - Tracer - (9) Drunken Sweetheart (9), Charky (5), Farewell Transmission (4) |
