STEPHEN MALKMUS & THE JINKS • PIG LIB MATADOR RECORDS
SM was the mastermind behind the seminal inde band PAVEMENT, and this his second solo record continues to prove how much SM was the sound behind PAVEMENT. Basically you have guitar-rock-indieness with quirky vocals and creative song structures.. Good shit! THE bawd oF eUPHONY
1- Great track! Mid-groove, syncopated rhythm and epic guitar parts
2- Typical SM Ballad form… riding drums and catchy melodies.. straight forward
*3- Standout track, Great fucking indie pop song… cant get the chorus out of my
head! Dissonant guitar parts and great build up at the end…
4- Quirky love song… I can see SM riding a camel and singing this one.. very cute
5- FCC 2nd verse Sexy Sexy stuff… wah wah guitars dominate… great solo..
the bawd is naked now…
6- Minor groove, flows well… great parts!… FCC middle of song Cool ending!
7- Here is the New Wave song… very cool and groovin’. Fast paced…
*8- Another Standout track… Great guitar and vocal work, Mid tempo and moody..
A little more adventurous….
9- Quirky acoustic song… funny lyrics about Bisexuality…
**10- Great fucking song… Epic as hell (9:11)… more adventurous than the rest
of the record.. Jams out and come back… great stuff!!!
11- Upbeat and dreamy vocal harmonies… Nice ending…
