Semisonic – Great Divide – Review

March 1, 1996

Pure pop with slightly retro dynamics and chord progressions. Production gives Great Divide a sound that is not just full and lush, but almost lavish.

Ruby – Salt Peter – Review

March 1, 1996

Lesley Rankine’s back-of-the-throat purr/growl reminds one of Björk; while her swaying high-pitch feels like Portishead.

Resolve – Jack – Review

March 1, 1996

Resolve are from upstate New York, but I would have sworn it was Minneapolis. Their sound owes a huge debt to the Replacements, Soul Asylum, and Hüsker Dü.

Belmez – Siechtum – Review

March 1, 1996

The singer could be singing “I Want To Hold Your Hand” and it would still sound like he was chewing on a live rattlesnake, spitting bile at you.
