Album Name: Heavy Rotation Vol. 7 – Dorm Sessions
Artist: Various Artists
Year/Label: 2010 / Independent
Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds
I’ve reviewed Heavy Rotations’ compilations before and it always seems like a mix tape a cool kid would make for me. Some of it I really like and some of it I really….don’t. It’s made by music school students at Berklee.
In an attempt to be kind I will refrain from talking about ones I didn’t care for and just concentrate on a few that I did.
Each artist on this project gets two songs each.
I really like Ann Driscoll’s two songs, I Wanna Be Your Zombie gets a tad goofy (as you may guess by the title). But Ringmaster is really cool and quirky with some echoey vocals and interesting melodies.
I really like Julia Eassterlin’s Mild Response. And Render is even better. She does some cool vocalizing at the end.
Black Kettle’s I Don’t Want to Know is nice.
In all, it’s a fun record to have with some real gems on it.
