Throughout the month of February, the entire staff of Manuel Zeitlin Architects and Zeitgeist Gallery took on The RPM Challenge – record 10 songs (or 35 min) in 28 days have it submitted by March 1st. Not only did they meet the criteria but they put together a rather eclectic offering of songs.
I was going to say that the later half of the compilation (including “Dogwoodsâ€, “Bliss†and “The Orchidâ€)  appealed most to my post-rock / indie rock sensibilities but upon second listen, it’s clear that the whole record is a worthwhile undertaking. The fierce samples on “Pack Up†and the loungey, somewhat foreboding, pop of “Too Cloudy for a Sunset†should not be ignored.
Proceeds from the album will be donated to the Nashville Civic Design Center’s garden project at Farm In The City through April 22nd.
