With their eponymous sophomore release, Austin's Zykos sound like they could be the next big thing. Matured since 2003's Comedy Horn, the group has honed its raw talent into songs that are explosive and exposed (like "Mrs.") or sadly beautiful ("Dark Tan"). Masters of melodic pop on "George Eliot," a song made sturdier by Jerod Cykoski's crack drumming and Mike Booher's punchy vocals, Zykos' secret weapon is easily keyboardist Catherine Davis, who gives the bulk of this self-titled set the rich delivery its predecessor lacked. The tense, torching "Understanding Fire" is drastically albeit successfully reworked from the debut, but it's the immediacy of "Above the Map" that just may own your mind for a while -- further evidence that Zykos is a great record. ~ John D. Luerssen

Lucinda Williams Live @ The Fillmore West CDs  (2005) Digipak

Zykos album
CD $14.89  3.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
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 ...

Zykos CD music
CD $12.49  Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
While the divide between stoner metal and indie rock had been eroding for some time by 2005, this debut by Black Mountain evaporated any such distinctions entirely. By packing allusions to the Velvet Underground, David Bowie, and Roxy Music in the same bowl with Sabbath and Pentagram, BLACK MOUNTAIN simultaneously reinvigorated a tired catalog of riffs and ripped the lid off a vibrant Vancouver scene of heavy psych revisionism. Singer-guitarist Stephen McBean's ...

Archer Prewitt Wilderness CD  (2005)

Zykos music CDs
CD $14.69  5 stars Audio Samples
Archer Prewitt's fourth full-length solo album, WILDERNESS, is a culmination of the orchestral-pop ambitions strongly hinted at in his previous releases--THREE, WHITE SKY, and IN THE SUN. Long, languid pieces like "O, KY" and "Judy, Judy" twist and turn through successive movements and tempos, while Prewitt's way with an evocative lyric and a hummable tune is undiminished. Prewitt conjures memories of ex-Zombies lead singer Colin Blunstone's solo albums on the caustic "Cheap Rhyme" and the magnificent title track, aided by the orchestrations ...

Okkervil River Black Sheep Boy CD  (2005)

Zykos songs
CD $10.15  4.7 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Okkervil River continue to break the glass between messy nerves and orchestrated elegance on their fourth full-length, Black Sheep Boy, titled after the lovely song penned by Tim Hardin with which the band opens the record. However, their take on the song feels a bit rushed and uneventful, which knocks the tender breath from the lyrics and presents a clumsy start. Opening the record this way is the singular yet major complaint of the album, ironically pushing "Black Sheep Boy," the intended centerpiece, to the outskirts of the album's overall feel. Thankfully, the song spans only a short minute, so when "For Real" gently slips into motion, then cracks with a surprise beating of guitar stabs, that's when the confident dynamics Okkervil River established on their fine 2003 album, Down the River of Golden Dreams, break free. This confidence never wanes through the remainder of the album; it is here that the bandmembers sound like they are emotionally attached to the material and here that the album should've begun. Black Sheep Boy's mix of warm strings with Wurlitzer, barroom piano, horns, and vibes effectively creates a spatial ...

Camera Obscura Underachievers Please Try Harder CD  (2003)

Zykos album
CD $12.19  4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Scottish outfit Camera Obscura hit their apotheosis with 2006's LET'S GET OUT OF THIS COUNTRY, but that album's predecessor, 2003's UNDERACHIEVERS PLEASE TRY HARDER, lays the groundwork for the band's greatness. With its guileless air, gorgeous arrangements, and solid songcraft, UNDERACHIEVERS proves the band worthy successors to the indie pop crown held by their countrymen Belle & Sebastian. Camera Obscura's albums are so well written and put together it is difficult to pick highlights or favorites. From the sparkling, delicate folk-pop of opener "Suspended from Class" to the nostalgia-tinged doo-wop ...

In the heat of the summer of 2004, Matt Pond PA sat down and recorded some songs that reminded them of winter, hence the EP Winter Songs. Apart from the two short, pastoral instrumentals "Winter One" and "Fall Two" and the lovely soft-focus ballad "Snow Day," the songs are covers. Neil Young's "Winterlong" and Richard & Linda Thompson's "I Want to See the Bright Lights ...

Conflict There Must Be Another Way: The Singles Collection CD  (2001) (Import) Import; United Kingdom

Zykos songs
CD $17.09
Punk rock heroes Conflict ended their career quite a while before the release of this album. Collecting 20 of their songs together on one collection, this is a document of some of the most politically charged punk to grace England's shores. Spewing their anarchist views with the assault of contemporaries such as Killing Joke and Dead Kennedys, Conflict helped pioneer the murky, dark sounds of many of the fringe punk rockers that sprung up in their wake. The music that they made was often very clouded and eerie, which reflected the view they ...

CD $10.99  5 stars Audio Samples
Only three years before the release of this CD, another comprehensive Dixie Cups anthology, Chapel of Love: The Very Best of the Dixie Cups, had appeared on the Collectables label. This has a very slight edge, however, as in addition to including everything from that prior compilation, it adds two more tracks: the fair mid-tempo pop/rocker "Wrong Direction," previously only available on the 1979 import compilation Teen Anguish, Vol. 1, and a less notable mono single version of "Gee the Moon Is Shining Bright." In any case, it's a very good collection, containing the A-sides ...
