Quinn,Donovan Your Wicked Man CD

2010 release from the San Francisco singer/songwriter. With an enigmatic deadpan, he delivers lyrics written in a dense and fragmentary style; the influence of writers such as Malcolm Lowry and Thomas Pynchon figures just as heavily on his craft as that of Robyn Hitchcock, Pavement, Robert Forster and Skip Spence. Your Wicked Man is the second album from his primary band, Donovan Quinn and the 13th Month, created in collaboration with Jason Quever (Papercuts) as producer and multi-instrumentalist. In much the same way as his presence molded Cass McCombs' early efforts, Quever's contributions to Your Wicked Man serve Quinn's narratives with arrangements that vary from ornamental to rollicking to bare, pushing Quinn's embrace of rustic, poetic popcraft to the fore.
