Description

When Will Sprott did a show in New York last year, he was approached by some people who explained to him how they'd started the literary journal Coffin Factory, named after one of the songs he wrote for the Mumlers' last album, Don't Throw Me Away. Unfortunately, the journal itself doesn't seem to credit the source of the name, but I like the idea of a lit journal as companion piece for Sprott's work, especially the character-driven, symbol-laden "Coffin Factory." It's been a while now since that came out, but he says he's got a whole new batch of songs ready to record. Meanwhile, after six tours last year with various members of the Mumlers (some from his original South Bay crew, others from the East Bay where he lives now), he would seem to be at a crossroads—does he continue the Mumlers as a loose collective, start something new, or simply strike out under his own name? Whatever he goes with, this show will give South Bay fans a chance to hear what's up with one of their most talented exports. - Steve Palopoli sanjose.com
