Album Review
Andy S
Reviewed 2010-11-15
Garage-rock from Athens with alt-country and indie rock flavors; I'd say Calexico, Pavement, Meat Puppets all get invoked. Gruff male vocals, gritty guitars, and occasional horns are arranged well across an impressive dynamic and stylistic spread. A few action-soundtrack-worthy instrumentals are the highlights, but the rest is also solid.
Start with 7 and 3 or, if you want vocals, 9 and 1. FCC safe. –Andy

*1 - (2:40) midtempo, dynamic growler with a southwestern shuffle
2 - (3:13) slower, sunny alt-country wanderer
**3 - (1:17) instrumental; great combo of bouncing country guitar and mariachi horns
4 - (2:47) indie pop; long looped string part to end
5 - (2:35) driving, single-lyric garage rock; slows to half tempo
6 - (4:26) Pavement-derivative slow-mellow indie rock waltz
**7 - (2:15) badass rock instrumental; aggressive surly guitar and big horns
*8 - (2:50) gentle but substantial indie rock with harmonized buildups
*9 - (3:47) super-mellow bookends around slow rock instrumental
10 - (2:04) dynamic guitar-centric instrumental
11 - (2:36) repetitive southwest-indie-rock with a punch
12 - (3:13) nervous alt-country-rock stomp
*13 - (4:52) slow folky dirge; Decemberists with rougher guitar
