Robots In Disguise – Review

September 20, 2004

A female, electro duet: Nothing more and nothing less. They sing through megaphones, dance like playful maniacs, and distribute D.I.Y. art.

Phoenix – Alphabetical – Review

September 20, 2004

Amid ’80s synths, hip hop beats, French pop sensibilities, and British folktronica aesthetics, there breathed a tender Motown soul that would make Stevie proud.

The Light Wires – Review

September 20, 2004

Seasoned with pain and tales of Midwest living, The Light Wires are led by guitarist Jeremy Pinnell and excel at updating Springsteen’s Nebraska.

For Stars – It Falls Apart – Review

September 13, 2004

This was supposed to be For Stars’ major label debut. I can’t imagine something this exquisite and rapturous coming out on, let’s say, Jive or MCA.

Komeda – Kokomemedada – Review

September 13, 2004

Komeda indulges in clean and pretty electro-pop that just screams of their Scandinavian heritage. Think The Postal Service fronted by a puppy.

Battles – EP C – Review

September 13, 2004

Uses instruments associated with rock (electric guitars, keyboards, and heavy drums) to create a sound that owes more to free jazz pioneers than Black Sabbath.
