Rocketship CD Lots of different styles for a five-track CD, but all hinting at psychedelic pop. 1. Chopped-up, skippy-sounding orchestral pop 2. Slow and low key, nice vocals 3. Rocketship has always been prone to this dream/noise pop but this, I’m sorry, is simply a My Bloody Valentine ripoff 4. Phil Spector doing indie rock – a modest start and then a kichen-sink finish, with hallucinatory voices 5. Glistening synth washes Trace CD Organ- and guitar-driven arrangements of simple pop tunes might suggest Yo La Tengo. Some good stuff, some (should-have-been) throwaways. 1. Strong riffing and excellent, complex rhythm and melody 2. Crazy guitar riff and an almost unbearably off-key vocal and tuneless organ 3. Big organ chords 4. Quieter guitar and organ and again, a not-quite-in-tune vocal 5. Loud and proud full-throttle melodic pop 6. Earnest, simple 7. Pounding and riff-happy | ||
