In honor of the appointment of the new pontiff, I present you with the third album from Davis, CA's
Popealopes. I've dedicated previous entries to these not-so-papal blokes, most recently a review of the
Yolo County Line rarities collection, and before that, their first two disks,
An Adders Tale and
Kerosene. The Popealopes were a unique collegiate indie proposition, with a penchant for wailing, slow-burning guitar salvos that negotiated a spot between Carlos Santana and Black Francis. Negligible traces of psych and spaghetti western still manage to crop up, but by the time they hit
Cavalcade the Popes' were a bold, well-oiled machine of their own making. Incidentally the follow-up to this platter, 1994's
Slowest Eye is available from
Amazon downloads and
iTunes.

Hello,
except that there's a problem with netkups, can you please repost "Adders Tale" & "Kerosene"?
Thank you very much

The Netkups issue resolved itself by this morning.
Am planning to re-up Kerosene, The last I heard the band was still selling copies of Adders Tale, but we'll see.
I think former drummer and band archivist John Nelson still has CD copies of Yolo County Line and An Adder's Tale available. You can contact him on the band facebook page.
Link is dead..Please reup please !
Please re-up
