Pinback - There's nothing about this mellow "downer indie pop" that will immediately bowl you over. But wait until it gets its hooks into you. I confess I'm on week #38 of owning this CD and I still can't stop listening to it. Pinback are a band/duo from San Diego, with Rob Crow of Heavy Vegetable/Thingy and Armistead Smith of Three Mile Pilot. It's about rich, pretty vocal harmonies, funky scratching, and catchy drum loops. Relaxed, melancholy, gentle, innocent. Play it! -nari *1> TRIPOLI - reels you in with an irresistable drum loop, then layers on a sweet vocal duet on a melancholy tune. 2> HURLEY - kinda folky. Centerpieces a bare acoustic guitar. 3> CHARBORG - lazily shuffles along. 4> CHAOS ENGINE - dark, mysterious; picks up busy drums for a big finish. *5> SHAG - Marilyn Manson would shake his hips to this track. *6> LORO - another very catchy groove. This is the kind of melody that stays with you all day. *7> CRUTCH - I really love this track. Something about that mopey opening chord cuts right through. 8> ROUSSEAU - some very doleful, heartbroken moaning. 9> LYON - carefree, easy-breezy. Love the pretty, velvety vocals at the end. 10> MONTAIGNE - Plodding, dingy, and dreary. Yum. | ||
