Destroy finds Chevy continuing on their quest to reconfigure used rock ‘n’ roll parts into a brand new shambling beast, slouching towards Dystopia to be born.
Thoughtfully constructed and marked by extended repetition of strange rhythms, letting them settle in and become a groove before trying to mess with them.
Supple really tore me up, like Pinhead in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser. Hooks shooting out of nowhere, hitting their mark and tearing at those soft spots.
Some dippy ballads mixed amid guitar hero acrobatics and wild production tricks (think toned-down Gibby Haynes). Hyped as Lenny Kravitz meets Matthew Sweet.
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.
Part Urban Dance Squad, part War, part Chili Peppers, Billy Goat enters the “live rap” arena and emerges, if not victorious, at least mostly unscathed.
