BW's PLAYLIST/ KHSU, 90.5/ SAT., 19 FEB. 2011

A collaboration between Reigning Sound's Greg Cartwright and LA's garage band, The Ettes, created The Parting Gifts. Even though, The Ette's Lindsay "Coco" Hames and Jem Cohen contribute a handful of songs, this project, Strychnine Dandelion, is about Cartwright. On this fantastic record, Cartwright, who writes a bulk of the material, comes up with some of his strongest work yet.
