Varnaline
Label: NoneGenre: Country, Rock
I can't write about Space Needle without plugging Anders Parker's Varnaline with equal, if not greater, vigor. It's almost easier to do, given Parker's more prolific output—whether as Varnaline through 2001 or his subsequent eponymous work for Baryon Records. Sadly, Varnaline's music received limited notoriety in their time due in part to their now defunct record labels, Zero Hour and Artemis, neither of which were really a perfect fit for Varnaline's sound. The Varnaline take on alt country was blistering, raw, and true, with really excellent texture and sobering lyrics for those left standing.
