| | Pinback Summer In Abaddon CD Pinback Discography of CDs
A little research on the title of Pinback's 2004 album SUMMER IN ABADDON reveals the literal meaning of Abaddon as "complete destruction or ruin," as well as being the Hebrew name for the demon guarding the pits of Hell. It could, of course, also be referring to the small township in Pennsylvania.
The album itself is also full of contrasts, meshing crisp, mid-tempo math-rock rhythms and pristine guitar work with rather cryptic and unsettling lyrics, one part journal entry and one part jagged-romance manifesto. Copious syncopation and vocal harmonies hint at mid-era Sunny Day Real Estate, though Pinback's bass-heavy melodies owe more of a debt to slowcore heroes Bedhead. The group approaches the emotional peaks of early Modest Mouse with the stiff-and-staggered delivery of "Non Photo-Blue" and "Syracuse," but the drums-and-piano arrangement of "The Yellow Ones" hints at a darker direction towards the end of the album. Perhaps not quite dark enough to verge on the aforementioned pits of Hell, but certainly enough to seem pitch black against the idyllic atmosphere of the rest of the record.
Japanese pressing of the West Coast indie pop act's 2004 album includes one bonus track 'Todo'. P-Vine. 2004.Mojo (Publisher) (p.104) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Wrapping the sweetest melodies around uncertainty and sometime sadness, Armistead Burwell Smith IV and Rob Crow's blend of warm and wistful is almost impossible to resist."

Daedelus' fifth album in five years Denies the Day's Demise continues the Santa Monica soundscaper's brilliant string of records. His previous album's excellence made it seem like Daedelus was working at his peak but amazingly he not only equals that album but surpasses it, creating his most satisfying album since his debut. All the ingredients of the usual sonic feast are present in copious amounts; beats that bob and weave like punch-drunk boxers, inventive samples drawn from unique and obscure sources, a whimsical sense of humor, and seriously good songcraft. Yes, songcraft. So many electronic artists are deficient in this area that when someone takes the time to craft electronic pieces that flow like a great and meaningful song, you have to stop and give them some love. Just try to ...

Summer In Abaddon songs
$10.15
Written by Noktorn on September 18th, 2007Listening to this album immediately after you get done with 'Impaled And Forgotten' is a very strange experience. You could almost consider them sister pieces: 'Impaled And Forgotten' is longer, weirder, more chaotic and demented, whereas 'Strung Up And Left To Rot' is comparably quite conventional. That was the part that surprised me the most about this album: Livercage write actual songs? Or at least write songs that most humans would view as such? They have a bass? They can write MELODIES!?Apparently so on all counts.So the music here is a lot more definably metal than on the last LP. The production has improved considerable: the riffs are much less hazy and more defined, and the drum machine is consistently audible. The distorted vocals are still present, but they seem somewhat out of place with the considerably mellower music on this album. A lot of the chaos and insanity of 'Impaled And Forgotten' is missing from this, leaving it with a more gothic and less oppressive atmosphere. The structural integrity is much higher: the tracks are now logically pieced together as opposed to the slapdash paeans to global destruction of the previous release. The overall tempo has decreased, befitting the somewhat more melodic nature of these tracks. On that note, the leads here aren't quite as meandering and atonal: they're composed of notes instead of inarticulate sounds, and you can almost derive pleasure from them.The biggest change is probably in the overall sense of musicality. There's an actual groove to many of the songs here: 'Exactly On The Last Two' actually has a pretty headbanging center of gravity throughout. It's the sort of thing that's good on record, but would be awesome live. The riffs are solid, and not nearly as noisy and ripping as the ones on 'Impaled And Forgotten'. There's a lot of two-chord goregrind style riffs at work here, as well as some more complex death and black metal influenced ones. Is this as 'black industrial' as the last release? Not quite: this is clearly a heavy metal album, and its musical qualities are nowhere near as unforgiving and bitter towards the audience ...
| | Used Blues Deep Down In Florida CD (2009)
Summer In Abaddon album
$13.69
Hailing from Gainesville, Florida, the Used Blues Band has been reinventing traditional blues forms since 2002, when bassist Butch Wise formed the band with a few fellow blues aficionados. After a few personnel changes the resulting line up (Wise on bass/vocals; Alan Yeatter, guitar/vocals; Gus Olmos, harmonica; Rick Wagner, drums) has done just that on their first album, fusing the electric blues formula with rock, soul and traditional delta sounds to create a unique and yet evocative debut not to be missed. The title track, "Deep Down in Florida", is a raucous homage to blues giant Muddy Waters and a playful tip of the hat to the band's stomping grounds. From there the album careens into more ...
