Historically, the bass guitar has not been considered an instrument of beauty in the annals of rock, but on "Input/Output" The Letterpress have managed to create melodic, coex music using two bass guitars, percussion and vocals. Bassist/ singer Jeremy Drysdale, augmented by Before Braille guitarist Rajiv Patel on lead bass and Dustin Carson on percussion, crafts memorable pop songs that are surprisingly diverse given their limited soundscapes. One might think that a CD recorded only with instruments normally used for rhythmic underpinnings would grow repetitious, but amazingly the disc remains interesting throughout. by Chris Holly, Get Out
