Commonly referred to as one of the standards for the emocore movement of the '90s, Texas Is the Reason's Do You Know Who You Are? -- which was the last thing said to John Lennon before he died -- is the bedrock to this New York City four-piece's short-lived career. Produced by the very talented J. Robbins, the vocal style of singer Garrett Klahn sounds something akin to Richard Marx doing indie rock. Whether that view is received with smiling nods or disapproving stares, the fact remains that Klahn's unique angle of nasally sung vocals was warm enough to draw one in, while not being overbearing to the point of annoyance. With a musical background in various hardcore acts, the guitars break between melodic beauty and low-end chugga-chugga while the drums drive along with blasting consistency and precision. Stark phrases about life's loneliness and the dissonance between friends and lovers create a lyrical atmosphere that invites tremendous one-liners and memorable songs. The title track shows Texas Is the Reason in an abyss of harmonic composure, providing a chance for the listener to catch his or her breath before plunging back into the melodic, enthusiastic rush of "Back and to the Left." While neither as harsh as many of their hardcore predecessors, nor as technical as their counterparts from Washington, D.C., nor as poppy as many of the emo bands to come after them, but instead taking a bit from each, Texas Is the Reason provided the indie rock scene with a combination of all the elements that it took to produce a quality indie rock record. For these reasons, Do You Know Who You Are? stands as one of the necessary albums for fans of emocore. ~ Kurt MorrisNME (Magazine) (1/26/02, p.23) - Included in NME's "Most Influential Emo Records Of All Time" - "...Helped pave the way for 'nu-emo'..."

After hearing Noah's Ark, any concerns about CocoRosie becoming too tasteful or straightforward after the widespread critical acclaim for their debut album, La Maison de Mon Reve, can be put to rest. If anything, the album errs in the opposite direction: alternately rambling and hypnotic, it's much more somber and insular (despite the presence of such kindred spirits as Devendra Banhart and Antony of Antony & the Johnsons) than the duo's subversively angelic-sounding debut. La Maison de Mon Reve certainly had a dark undercurrent that added considerable sting to its sweetness, but it's much more prominent on Noah's Ark; sad, eerie lyrics like "K-Hole"'s "All of the aborted babies will turn into little Bambies" are paired with equally spooky, mournful music instead of the deceptively light tones of the group's first album. There's a lot of power in the album's darkness, particularly on the apocalyptic campfire singalong "Armageddon." However, Noah's Ark occasionally feels too mannered and unfocused, and overly reliant on the sound effects and toy instruments that made their first album so surreally charming: in particular, interludes like "Milk" and "Bear Hides and Buffalo" sound like noise collages missing the key pieces that would hold them together. That said, the album still has many moments of transporting beauty, especially on the songs that feel less cloistered. On "Beautiful Boyz," Antony's ...

| | Airtight Bridging The Ages CD (2006)
Do You Know Who You Are?
$14.79
Aside from the obvious inference about the band's extraordinary "tightness," the name Airtight identifies a prominent area of the Embarras (pronounced "Am-braw") river just outside Charleston, Illinois, hometown to all Airtight band members. There are only a few bridges that span the Embarras river in home Coles County, and one of the more important bridges for rural and agricultural concerns is at Airtight. In much the same way, the Airtight stringband represents some significant musical and generational bridging as well. With ages spanning four decades, Airtight's bandmembers represent an extraordinary cross-section of musical and life experiences. You name the musical idiom and at least one of Airtight's bandmembers: John Bishop (fdl.), Jesse Danner (gtr.), J.B. Faires (bass) and Steve Harrison (bjo.), is likely to have engaged it, if not mastered it. Airtight's focus is on Midwestern-style traditional American music. While prominent oldtime stringbands of the past couple of decades have nicely represented the Appalachian (aka "Mountain"), the North-eastern, some Southern and even Ozark styles of traditional American country music, Airtight is quickly gaining recognition as a shining example of the classic Midwestern idiom. It's the dance music of rawboned, tough-as-leather prairie folks, and they liked it steppy. Half the bandmembers share common roots with other current Midwestern oldtime stringbands such as New Bad Habits, with that band's lead fiddler Lynn "Chirps" ...
