The music of 2009, in the order it occurs to me: Screaming Females: Power Move An excellent review can be found here at Impose. ’70s guitars hearken back to the ’90s, and all your basic dad rock bands are fused into the soul of Ted Nugent, clarified, and injected into the very small guitar-shredding frame [...]  The new Art Brut, produced by the Pixies’ Frank Black, is absolutely deserving of the hype currently dripping off the tines of the forks of the avant pop devourers. “Slap-dash for no cash- those are the records I like”, lead vox Eddie Argos recounts, describing his own recording’s aesthetic while poeming dithyrambs for the hot, rough and tumble recordings that were championed and lovingly given nativity by slop rockers like The Replacements. Everyone who happens to read this should make their way over to Union Rock Yards to check out some of the shows they’ve been putting on. Here we have a band that practices a lot, a band that has respect enough for their audience to put on a flawless set, and a band whose members are endowed with enough virtuosity to effortlessly exchange duties on guitar, keys, and vox…. They bring an energy and a subtle flair and imagination into those interstitial places in the music where an unexpected flair is most important (a higher note here when you expected a lower, an extra keening Isley to the vocals there when the lyric could have been dropped), but this we’ve heard, and it is still, right this very instant, in fact, called The Walkmen. |
