KEVIN TIHISTA?S RED TERROR – Home Demons, Volume 1 (Parasol)
RELEASE DATE: March 8, 2005The Chicago Reader named Kevin Tihista?s ?Wake Up Captain? the #1 Chicago release of 2004 and UK?s UNCUT voted it one of the year?s Top 60 titles. MOJO described KT as a ?a wry, dreamy-voiced soul let loose in a deluxe soft rock playpen? (that?s a good thing) and the Onion compared ?Wake Up Captain? to the ?early-?70s work of John Lennon and Harry Nilsson.?
Inspired by the sheer number of unreleased home demos collecting on CD-Rs in Kevin?s apartment, Parasol is releasing the first volume of Kevin Tihista?s ?Home Demons? series. #1 features fourteen tracks including, a version of the ?Wake Up Captain? track ?Sweet,? a cover of the Dave Mason hit ?We Just Disagree? and songs from the download only collection ?Dracula.?
