| | Fall Grotesque (After The Gramme) CD Fall Discography of CDs
This 1980 reissue by The Fall includes four new bonus tracks, including "City Hobgoblins."
1980's GROTESQUE, The Fall's third studio album, is considered one of the band's most difficult and threatening works-even by Fall fans. Consisting mostly of one-chord live-in-the-studio jams that veer between Hasil Adkins-style crazed rockabilly and Mekons-esque deliberate sloppiness-verging-on-incompetence, the album is one of the ultra-prolific band's most extreme and aggressive statements.
As would be the case with such future noisemongers as My Bloody Valentine or Sonic Youth, the cacophony becomes so persistent that it creates its own sort of off-kilter beauty. Above this racket, theorist/provocateur Mark E. Smith bellows and sneers his sociopolitical broadsides, most effectively on "Pay Your Rates" and the almost-melodic "Impression of J. Temperance." GROTESQUE is not for the timid, but its pleasures are many for those who can withstand the surface discord.

The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted.
The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and Big Star, but this ...

On Hello Doctor, the full-length debut by Gravy Train!!!!, the band mixes musical styles and sexual orientations with reckless abandon, coming up with a try-sexual, lo-fi rap/dance fusion that makes Peaches sound as polished and demure as Celine Dion. With a vocal style that's part cheerleader, part riot grrrl, and part hip-hop diva, lead Gravy Trainee Chunx takes on all kinds of usually verboten topics, such as the dangers of giving a "Kottonmouth BJ"; how poorly endowed men make her "Hella Nervous"; and her star-crossed love of burgers in "Burger Baby," which could be described as "Papa Don't Preach" crossed with a Happy Meal. Dancer/rapper Hunx adds to the pansexual approach on songs like "You Made Me Gay," a raunchy but good-natured hip-hop battle of the sexes (and sexualities) that rhymes "anthrax" with "skin sax," and "Double ...

Grotesque (After The Gramme) album
$12.39
Imagine Calexico getting together with Rachel's for a session of moody instrumentals and you have something close to Brooklyn's Clogs. Heavy on strings, but also incorporating everything from the melodica to bassoon, Clogs evoke wine-dark seas, lighthouses, and fog on the 12 tracks that make up Lantern, their fourth full-length. It's hard not to think of Hawthorne, Poe, or a Russell Banks novel when listening to these misty, hypnotic numbers. There is one song with vocals, the title cut, and it's a somber one that creeps along with lightly plunked percussion. The rest of the collection, however, would sit well next to music of the more baroque Feathers, who sound somewhat like a more polished city cousin to Clogs. Compared to the previous Clogs album, Lantern is more fleshed out and even less "rock" sounding, further blurring the line between post-rock and classical. However, there are moments, such as on "The Song of the Cricket," where they flirt with bluegrass and old-time music. Clogs, who share members with the more singer/songwriterly rock band the National, have obviously learned to apply a degree of pop songcraft to their pseudo-neo-classical music. It may never fly in the conservatory, but the music of Clogs is sure to make the bar set feel a little more cultured. ~ Jason Nickey
