Moody and expressive, sometimes dreamy and scarce, sometimes “trip rock,” Anneke is now using her lovely voice comfortably, not to win awards or show off.
Among 13 generic Cali-punk tracks you’ll find four to show the band’s “roots” go deeper than lifting Gregg Graffin solos and paraphrasing Social D lyrics.
Easy Listening rolls through more styles of music than collaborators (En Esch, Groovie Mann, Chris Connelly, Chris Vrenna, Keith Levine, Penn Jillette, etc.).
These guys are all about Rites Of Spring and Embrace from the sound of it, and good for them. It’s about time people remember where the real punk rock’s at.
From delicate piano serenades to galloping metal to broody Goth metal, Nicodemus ooze style, good musicianship, and the dynamics most bands had to build up to.
