A little bit Radiohead, a little bit Sigur Rós, and very much immersed in ethereal dream pop, this strong debut from Edmonton's Faunts is a welcome addition to Canada's growing roster of intriguing rock bands (playing shows with Broken Social Scene and Do Make Say Think has surely helped). As the record makes its way through such stellar moments as "Instantly Loved" and "Place I've Found," keyboards blend with guitars, and the vocals, although never prominent, sail steadily through the mix. In fact, the band's use of instruments is more than enough to create an intense experience. The 13-minute, snail-paced "Gone with the Day" adds slowcore and country to the relaxed atmosphere, greatly expanding the band's palette. And High Expectations/Low Results surprises as much as it soothes: a vocoder enters the picture on "Twenty-Three" while at the same time Faunts seem to be nodding to '70s psychedelia. A satisfying record for any fan of spacy rock. ~ Kenyon Hopkin

| | Wyckham Porteous Sexanddrinking CD (2001)
High Expectations / Low Results music CDs
$14.15
Wyckham Porteous begins this album with the title track, a jazz-oriented spoken word that brings to mind "One Night in Bangkok" by Murray Head. The backbeat also recalls "Looking for Clues" by Robert Palmer. It's a funky, disco-era tune that works after a minute or two. From there, "Feel Alright" is a pretty and polished pop/rock track that shows the singer's gritty, rootsy delivery. The song could use a bit of self-editing near its conclusion, though. "Get Happy" could be mistaken for John Mellencamp circa "Rain on the Scarecrow," a moody and somewhat dark blues-rock tune. Porteous carries this momentum into the first highlight, the rowdy Southern rock charm of "The First Time." The lyrics themselves are a cross between Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen. "I feel as lucky as a horseshoe/Just about as rich as a Cadillac," he sings. One aspect ...
