Luscious Jackson – Fever In Fever Out – Review

February 1, 1997

The album’s strong points are the tangible rainy day ambience it produces, the honesty of its well-sung lyrics, and the clear but distant production.

Joy Electric – Old Wives Tales – Review

February 1, 1997

Dreamy textures of synthetic sounds, layered like a fantastic banquet cake decorated with colorful oddities and scrumptious frosting.

J. Church – Kittums In a Coma – Review

February 1, 1997

This three song release has one original tune, “Lines,” which is a Bay Area punk interpretation of Hüsker Dü’s hardcore period.

Jane Jensen – Comic Book Whore – Review

February 1, 1997

A futuristically contemporary masterpiece with a driving, industrial-oriented sound overlaid with Jensen’s seductive/ menacing/charming vocals.

Iris – Iris / Swirlies split – Vents Of The Ocean Floor – Review

February 1, 1997

Iris’ “Statements by Scientists” brings a summer-afternoon-in-the-park feel to the cutesy confrontation of grrrl groups like Bratmobile.

Ghostbeat – Water – Review

February 1, 1997

If Ghostbeat stick to off-beat pop and can the funk noodlings, dreary soundscaping, and cheap-amp guitar sound, they may emerge as top-notch “quirky” pop band.

Fun Lovin’ Criminals – “Scooby Snacks” – Review

February 1, 1997

These guys are all the rage with pseudo-hip hop fans. They’re actually quite good when they’re singing. When they try to rap it’s just “go, white boy, go!”

Flexie – Galaxie Park – Review

February 1, 1997

More female-fronted alternarock. Sigh. Not too much innovation, but I’m sure the radio will love these cookie cutter songs.

Shiva Speedway – Shiva Speedway / Enduro split – “Moonshine” / “Sister” – Review

February 1, 1997

The vocalist’s tortured screams complement the music without saying, “look at me, I’m a drunk and disgruntled starving musician!”

Elliott Smith – “Speed Trials” – Review

February 1, 1997

Like Lou Barlow riding on a particularly moody wavelength with only an acoustic guitar and whispering drums. Simultaneously depressing and celebratory.
