Built Like Alaska – Autumnland – Review

February 23, 2005

Future Farmer puts out good indie rock I always kinda like, but figure Magnet, No Depression, Splendid, and In Music We Trust are slobbering all over, so I kinda never bother to review. Good songwriting, good vocals, good production.

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.

Righteous Boy – I Sing Because of You – Review

July 23, 2003

The Cardigans’ bassist has assembled a gentle disc that plays like a journal over old Parisian jazz. The sound waxes mystical, sentimental, sweet, wounded.

Wonderlick – Review

May 31, 2002

Goofball noises from squiggy electronic trills to Kermit the Frog-like shouts add to the weird palette, making refreshingly new-sounding music.

Jackpot – Weightless – Review

June 1, 2000

Imagine the sound of Rod Stewart’s “Maggie” with the poetry of Joey Buttofuoco. Listening to this could be AA for closet slackers.
