Beck – Stereopathic – Review

April 1, 1997

Like Origin of Species, a haphazard genealogy littered with low-fi fossils of noise-folk, folk-noise, softcore punk, slide-rule guitar, gut-busting silliness.

Tony Mentzer – Smell My Finger – Review

April 1, 1997

This just seems like an amateurish and juvenile attempt at humor. Zappa for the Butthead generation? Beefheart toned down to the Beavis level?

The Lemonheads – It’s All True EP – Review

April 1, 1997

I’ve never much cared for Evan Dando’s faux slacker romanticism, but I do give him credit for his choice of cover songs.

Swell – Too Many Days Without Thinking – Review

April 1, 1997

A guitar-driven, moody atmosphere, adding layers, then taking them away. The words, embedded in Freel’s smooth, low voice, mingle with saturated basslines.

Squirrel Bait – Squirrel Bait/Skag Heaven – Review

April 1, 1997

Searcy sounds less crazed, the guitars and drums are more orderly, the song lengths more typical, the lyrics spelled out carefully on the inner sleeve.

Skeleton Key – Fantastic Spikes Through Balloon – Review

April 1, 1997

Some pretty odd music, but Fantastic Spikes… has enough hooks and recognizable “song” elements to appeal to even only slightly adventurous listeners.

Nipper! – Review

April 1, 1997

Has a lot in common with the first coupla Silver Jews records (except there’s more Malkmus and less Berman) and pre-“Cut Your Hair” Pavement in general.

Mazzy Star – Among My Swan – Review

April 1, 1997

Hope Sandoval’s sleepy, sexy vocals lounging disconsolately on a bed of notes that drip like deep blue crystal rain off Dave Roback’s guitar.

Lazlo Bane – 11 Transistor – Review

April 1, 1997

A model of no frills simplicity, 11 Transistor is 99 and 44/100ths percent pure good times – it’s that other 56/100ths that’ll getcha.

Kristeen Young – Meet Miss Young and Her All Boy Band – Review

April 1, 1997

No mere ripoff, she’s got the voice and the ideas to pull off her debut album. She throws in strange notes, odd breaks, and fractured harmonies.
