Review: Simian Mobile Disco: Attack Decay Sustain Release

Thu, 21 Jun 2007 09:00:00 GMT

Following Klaxons and Justice, the third of this year's big indie-dance crossovers issues its debut album. SMD's debut maintains an unerring devotion to always-hooky pastiche in the name of a good time and to pop's unbreakable and road-tested formalism when it comes to things like song length and the need for a kick-ass chorus.

Latest comp from Offshore, which continues to be among both the most inventive purveyors of 21st century drum'n'bass-- techno-tinged percussion that splits the difference between groove and experimentalism-- and one of the best entry points into the genre for newcomers.

Review: Bottom of the Hudson: Fantastic Hawk

Thu, 21 Jun 2007 09:00:00 GMT

Bedroom auteur Eli Simon ditches his Guided By Voices-like lo-fi aesthetic-- best realized on 2005's overlooked Holiday Machine EP-- for a full-studio approach.

Review: Blitzen Trapper: Wild Mountain Nation

Thu, 14 Jun 2007 09:00:00 GMT

On their third album, Portland-based Blitzen Trapper unleash a cock-eyed stylistic blitzkrieg that comes closer to catching the carefree fuck-off sprawl of Pavement's Wowee Zowee than any record in recent memory. Spanning midwestern country-rock, mild-mannered indie pop, jagged art-rock, and West Coast swoon, Wild Mountain Nation swears allegiance to multiple touchstones of indie rock without limiting itself to just one.

More than most any pop band, ABBA often seem a very adult band, writing songs squarely set in the adult (as opposed to adolescent or teenage or college-age) world, coping with adult emotions, and particularly adult compromises and disappointments.

How I'll spend my summer vacation: Organizing a 250g external, trying to keep up with the glut of current music without becoming mentally exhausted, and threatening to turn into a vessel of "endless intake" without consequence.
