Lying In States
The Bewildered Herd ( harmless); 2002 "
I get sick to my stomach - where does the money go? "This doesn't sound very
american at all. Somehow it doesn't even sound very Chicago - in a really great
goodness kinda way. Lead man Ben C. sounds "overseas" in the way Colin
M. of the Decemberists sounds "overseas" - you get what I mean. No -
oh well. This is good. The main man has been compared to David Gilmour, so at
least somebody else has heard it. The final track, "People", reminds
me 45% out of a full %100 of Aidan Moffett circa the 'Red Thread' album vocally.
You wanna fight? Fuck off - I have had this ep for about year now, and I am very
excited I did not die without listening to it. This is good. Brings to mind the
likes of the Lot Six and Modest Mouse - but I am supposed to say that. These guys
don't deserve meaningless comparison, just thank thee lord you beg to that they
don't sound anything like what the man on the radio wants you to hear. The way
retro "bonus" track, 'close but no cigar', is a fitting nod to those
bands the man on the radio wants you to hear. This just in - take your radio and
throw it down the deepest well, then shit in it. Their debut full-length, Most
Every Night (flameshovel.com), is going to "crush you" in January of
next year my friend - CRUSH YOU! Please don't look at me like that. I will put
an ice-scraper through your pelvis. One of them copper kinds. This is good. |
