Bandwidth Bandito After a long hiatus, I returned to seeking out and listening to alternative music; Holcombe was the first one there to greet me. It's so good to be back, thanks Holcombe. Favorite track: Troubled Times.

florabunda Dear Holcombe--I've been listening to this album a ton lately and remembering how we all saw the end of democracy in G.W. Bush. Isn't it weird how everyone seems to have forgotten about that? Anyway, finding 'Troubled Times' helpful again in these troubled times. Thanks for your beautiful album.

about

"Holcombe Waller's Troubled Times is part personal confession and part tirade of the current Bush administration. A highlight from the latter category? Waller actually manages to rhyme Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's name -- sort of. "Condoleezz, baby pleezz...," Waller croons on "No Enemy," "You must reverse your stance and seal your fate/ To mend the broken wing of the state.

"But even without the none-to-subtle pleas for a return to political rationality, the languid, almost non-committal quality of Waller's music feels like a challenge to the status quo in itself. The meandering, post-climactic quality of his tunes -- there is rarely a chord strummed all album -- seems to suggest, "lets knock it off with hyper-masculine 'stratergery,' America, and take a deep breath, and stop insisting everything we do be punctuated with a wailing guitar solo." Troubled Times is Waller's third album to date, all released on his own Napoleon Records label."
