A New York-based trio with a female singer and a guitarist who clearly loves his old Echo & the Bunnymen and Smiths albums, the Eaves bring the late-'80s dream pop sound (think of the respective outputs of the 4AD and Factory Benelux labels) into the 21st century. Singer Jen Adam doesn't have the chipmunk squeak of a Liz Fraser or Kristin Hersh; her deeper and more detached vocals are reminiscent of both Tracey Thorn and Brix Smith, and the characteristically nebulous, diffused sound of these seven lengthy songs usually places them well down in the mix, under her keyboards and Casey Sweten's roiling, echoey guitar lines. Similarly, atmosphere and texture tends to be placed before melody. Although all of these songs have sturdy tunes and memorable hooks (the propulsive, Go-Betweens-like "Bird Lawyer" is particularly wonderful), the pillow-soft surfaces of the songs are so luxuriously inviting that several listens can go by before the melodic strength of songs like the deliciously dreamy "Top Drawer Man" sinks in. Anyone with a fond memory of the pre-grunge shoegazer scene will find much to love here, but the Eaves have enough personality and talent to keep from being a mere nostalgia act. ~ Stewart Mason
2003 album on Ace Fu Records from the New York Based band, the album recalls the early 4AD sound like Dif Juz or even some of Felt's more experimental early works.

Eaves album
 $13.85 
Although Scott McCaughey pays his bills as a loyal R.E.M. sideman, the longtime Young Fresh Fellows frontman's Minus 5 project has allowed him to explore his fundamental pop/rock leanings with colleague Peter Buck on albums like 2001's acclaimed Let the War Against Music Begin. Recorded in tandem with that set, I Don't Know Who I Am -- a limited-edition disc reportedly restricted to a pressing of just 2,000 copies -- is far darker and more experimental, as evidenced by the set launcher, "There Is No Music." Meshing a slide guitar with a brooding lo-fi feel, the song's alt-country leanings uneasily shift into the electronic-tinged "Myrna Loy." While there are contagious moments like "Rooting for the Plague" and the profane singalong "I Don't Want to Fuck Off Anymore," tunes like the heady "Disaster Nurse Fang" and "Dear Employer" (which is recycled but drastically stripped-down from its appearance on 2003's Down With Wilco and again boasts Jeff Tweedy) are as off-kilter as these alternative pop luminaries are likely to get. I Don't Know Who I Am may not be the Minus 5 disc fans rely on most of the time, but there's more than just completist filler here. Just check the chiming, Beatlesque brilliance of "Queen's Head" for further proof. ~ John D. Luerssen

Never one to tread the expected path, Lucinda Williams followed her big breakthrough album, CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD, with a pair of low-key records full of sad, quiet, fragile songs (interrupted by the occasional barn-burner). LIVE @ THE FILLMORE concentrates heavily on those latter two releases, unleashing all the intense, burning emotions that lay at their core, making plain the inherent frisson lurking below the surface of such ostensibly laconic tunes as "Lonely Girls" and "Righteously." Meanwhile, songs that ...

| | Pere Ubu Why I Hate Women CD (2006)
Eaves CD music
$10.79
Named after a hypothetical and non-existent Jim Thompson novel, Pere Ubu's 13th studio album is one of the most interesting of their long tenure, and testament to the continually replenishing spiky ingenuity of group leader (and sole original member) David Thomas. WHY I HATE WOMEN examines a living slice of dread, as expressed by nervous drums, atmospheric guitars, and Thomas's anxiety-ridden singing. The jerky rhythms and vocals of the opening number "Two Girls (One Bar)" are like opening a door and being greeted by the entirety of the early 1980s no-wave scene. Ditto the unsettling swamp-fevered "Blue Velvet," which reverberates with David Lynchian despair and desire, and the hopped-up "Caroleen," which plays like a love song for troubled adolescents, without the emo bravado.
2006 album from David Thomas and his Ubu boys, old and new. Pere Ubu have really come out fighting with Why I Hate Women, racing towards all horizons at full tilt, pushing the experimental envelope further than ever, but also tightening up their trademark avant-punk attack. The rhythm section (Ubu's longest serving) of bassist Michele Temple and drummer Steve Mehlman is tauter and leaner than ever before. Robert Wheeler's bravura performance on vintage electronics has him coming over as rural Ohio's answer to Sun Ra, splattering analogue synth and theremin all over ...
| | Social Distortion Live At The Roxy CD (1998)
Eaves music CDs
$11.99 
One of the longest-running California punk bands, Social Distortion began spewing musical venom in the early '80s. Over the years, their musical vision has been somewhat refined, but they've never compromised their integrity or lost a bit of their punch, a fact borne out by this 1998 live recording. Singer/songwriter Mike Ness is the archetypal tough guy with a heart of gold, chronicling the tribulations of the underclass in post-Reagan America over a jackhammer beat.
As usual, the band leavens their punky assault with occasional touches of country and roots music, as on the spiritual-sounding "Ball & Chain" and a frenzied cover of "Ring Of Fire." Though they speak from the perspective of grizzled punk survivors, the band still targets youngsters with their bad boy attitude, as evidenced by Ness' incendiary, iconoclastic stage patter. LIVE AT THE ROXY is the band at their best, blazing through new tunes and old with equal fury.
Recorded live at The Roxy, Hollywood, California on April 7-9, ...

| | A J Croce Adrian James Croce CD (2004)
Eaves CD music
$13.49 
When the son of the late pop legend Jim Croce popped on the scene in the early '90s, he was still in a developing Ray Charles phase, showing off his affinity for stride and jazz piano playing to accompany his likeable vocals. Over the years, he has slowly moved away from those areas and developed into a still engaging but slightly less unique singer/songwriter more influenced by the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Squeeze and Elvis Costello. Stamping his full name on this release -- which was released on his own label and features members of Costello's backing group -- clues us in on the idea that he's finally found his true identity -- and the hooks and harmonies are pretty irresistible. He starts with the pure romantic harmony pop of "Don't Let Me Down," then spends most of the rest of the disc showing off some of those still strong influences, from ...

Given the title and Hilary Duff's sophisticated, uptown-girl look on the cover, 2007's DIGNITY seems to announce that the teen starlet is all grown up. Yet the album is still full of effervescent dance-pop, as fresh-faced and catchy as fans of Top 40 and commercial bubblegum would ...
