This Toronto band not only takes the title for its second album from Neil Young's "On the Beach" ("I went to the radio interview/ But I ended up alone at the microphone"), but also inherits the tattered rock icon's unique ability to play a windswept blend of vintage Americana that eerily sounds more compelling than anything coming out of the Lower 48. You can practically feel the bone-chilling desert wind on the back of your neck as the desolate, perilously crude "Rum Tobacco" stumbles out of the speakers, while the punch-drunk banjos and sweet verses of "Under A Hollow Tree" instantly transport you to a muggy back-porch in the Deep South. The engineers at Disney would no doubt be impressed by the attention to detail. Meanwhile, the spare, yearning centerpiece "Dank is the Air of Death and Loathing" ("I worried here and I've sighed here / And now you are vomiting") combines the very real kind of gut-level roots punch that is usually only associated with Lucinda Williams. Alone at the Microphone is the sound of America as seen by a group of people who are clearly enamored by every pebble on the road, every splattered bug on the windshield. --Aidin Vaziri

Customer Reviews of Alone at the Microphone

A very pleasing and entertaining album from up North!
I was upset to look and see only 1 review of this fine album, so I thought I'd do my duty and contribute. This is a Candadian indie-folk group with some very catchy songs and occasionally morbid and interesting lyrics - the guitar and banjo are prevelant - the songs are familiar sounding yet original - the vocalist doesn't have the prettiest voice, it's rather flat sounding actually, but he carries off the songs well with a grace and deadpan type of humor - for fans of Sufjan Stevens, Jim Guthrie (whose in the group), Animal Collective, or Wilco - check this out - A very consistent and enjoyable album from up North! Enjoy!

Oh Canada
Royal City's 2001 release "Alone at the Microphone" is a record that embraces dichotomies. The album opens with the romping "Bad Luck" whose lyrics ("I met you in the alley / all covered in maggots") set a tone that is present through the rest of the album, though in an abstract way. "Dank is the Air of Death and Loathing" carries a similar sound and equally jarring lyrics, yet still manages to have a deceptively upbeat feel. "You Are the Vine," on the other hand, is an almost-ballad that, depending on interpretation, could have either a romantic or religious bend ("I am the Vine / You are the branches / Those who follow me / Will have eternal life" is a traditional Christian hymn). Meshing their offbeat lyrics with an offbeat twangy sound makes for a true keeper.
