Spin (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[H]ere, these Portland indie rockers swerve in a more nervy, enigmatic direction....It feels almost monumental."
CMJ (p.6) - "Frontman Charles Westmoreland's wily warble is at the helm here, and he wraps it around his words and the music fairly effectively." K1 Review

K1
 $10.79    
On this immensely appealing debut, SILENT ALARM, the London-based quartet Bloc Party fulfills the promise of their barnstorming 2004 singles "Banquet" and "She's Hearing Voices." Led by magnetic frontman Kele Okereke, the band extracts the most fascinating aspects of the previous 25 years of British indie rock and fuses them into a new entity--complete with smarts and heart--never delving into retro-kitsch or slavish imitation.
Okerere's urgent yelp most often recalls a fired-up incarnation of the Cure's Robert Smith, but the sounds the group creates echo everything from Gang of Four's staccato militarism ("Banquet") to the reverberating guitars of the Chameleons ("Price of Gas"). At times, Bloc Party also recalls the ecstatic soundwashes of early-1990s cult pioneers like Ride ("Plans") and Slowdive ("Compliments"). Lyrically, Okerere tilts toward an endearing adolescent pessimism that, even when the music is less than mopey, gives him away as a goth at heart ("and the ravens are leaving the tower/make your peace"). However, at the end of "Price of Gas," when he proclaims "I can tell you how this ends/We're going to win this," ...

| | Animal Collective Grass CD (2006) With DVD
K1
$6.39
This three-tracks disc is essentially a CD-single for the song "Grass" by the Brooklyn-based noise-folk outfit Animal Collective, a tune featured on the group's 2005 album FEELS. The song, which careens from breezy insouciance to explosive, shout-filled mayhem, is just as thrilling here as it is on the band's full-length, but the real treasures are the disc's two b-sides.
"Must Be Treeman" and "Fickle Cycle" perfectly fuse ...

| | Drams Jubilee Dive CD (2006)
K1
$11.39
After the end of Slobberbone, singer and lead songwriter Brent Best performed some solo shows and started working on solo material. Despite his last group having disbanded, Best brought his old pals Jess Barr and Tony Harper back into the fold for his new group, the Drams and added a new bassist and keyboardist. And while fans of Slobberbone might yearn for the band to reunite at some point, there is plenty of material here to keep them pleasantly happy. The addition of keyboards and less reliance on guitars makes songs like "Truth Lies Low" open up and fly from start to finish. Think of a polished Wilco without the bizarre but brilliant tangents, and you get the gist of what's going on with Jubilee Dive. From there the group saunters into a roots rock milieu, with "Hummalong" hinting at summery California pop in the distance before the guitars take over in the vein of Blue Rodeo circa Lost Together. Best is at his best, though, with the tender, slower, and mellower Southern moments during "Holy Moses" that features some great work by keyboardist Chad Stockslager. It sounds like a cross between Black Crowes and Canadian artist Matt Mays, while "Fireflies" has a certain '60s rock flavor to it with its rather simple melody. A couple of the songs venture into six-minute territory, including the soft, bubbly pop of "You Won't Forget" ...

Mere months after Trent Reznor unveiled the 2008 instrumental collection GHOSTS I-IV online without warning, the Nine Inch Nails frontman issued another independent album out of the blue--a completely free studio album entitled THE SLIP. While not a radical departure from the fuzzed-out dystopia of YEAR ZERO, this 10-track outing does hark back to Reznor's earlier work (most notably THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL), ...
