"No longer are Ray Raposa's songs shrouded in atmosphere. After five albums of bleak, moody Americana with Castanets, the itinerant singer and songwriter has a new band, Raymond Byron and the White Freighter. The group's debut LP, Little Death Shaker, arrives on September 4 via Castanets' usual home, Asthmatic Kitty Records. The musty biker-bar rock'n'roll of the album's advance track, "Allegiance," is hardly glossy, but it signals a newfound clarity for Raposa."
