The prolific and eclectic indie rocker Rob Crow continues to be involved in a dizzying number of bands, including Pinback and Goblin Cock, none of which activity has put a damper on his solo career. His 2007 release LIVING WELL carries some of Pinback's soft-rock textures, but there's a harder edge to songs like "Leveling" and "Focus" that conjures both menacing psych-folk overtones and the cheerier folky pop of late-period XTC.

Alternative Press (p.135) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Accompanied by banjo, drum machines and acoustic guitar, the arrangements on LIVING WELL lend Crow's vocals a stark vulnerability that sometimes gets lost in his other projects."
Magnet (p.96) - "Less is definitely more here, thanks to Crow's ability to match winning melodies with simple, repeated guitar motifs."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.94) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Imagine a math-rock XTC fronted by Elliott Smith, illuminating the quiet corners of life." Rob Crow Living Well Songs Living Well Review

Purchase Living Well CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Bloc Party Silent Alarm CD (2005)
Living Well album
 $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," one can hope that Okerere is expressing his confidence in ...
| | Appleseed Cast Peregrine CD (2006) Digipak
Living Well CD music
$10.09 
The Appleseed Cast has a sound that you might have a hard time categorizing until you hear someone use the phrase "Midwest post-rock." Then it becomes obvious that that's exactly what they sound like, even if the term itself is really kind of baffling. You have to hear it to understand: the Appleseed Cast's sound is often noisy, but is never just noise; they experiment with weird and unusual production approaches, but you wouldn't call them avant-garde. Nestled within the sometimes dense clouds of guitar noise are genuinely attractive hooks, and their songs often contain puzzling but highly effective contradictions. Note, for example, "Here We Are (Family in the Hallways)," which is one of the album's finest tracks ...
| | Emily Haines Knives Don't Have Your Back CD (2006) Digipak
Living Well music CDs
$11.99 
As an auxiliary member of Broken Social Scene and frontwoman for Metric, Emily Haines has made plenty of intense indie rock, but on her solo album, KNIVES DON'T HAVE YOUR BACK, she emerges as a full-blown singer/songwriter. Accompanied by a cast that includes members of both aforementioned bands, Haines delivers dark, moody, rather arty, piano-led tunes that bear more in common with the work of Kate Bush or Tori Amos than with anything in the indie-rock world.

Living Well songs
$13.49
Although Deerhoof famously covered the seemingly uncoverable Shaggs gem "My Pal Foot Foot" early in their career, their overall vision has more in common with a different group of brilliantly amateurish women: the Raincoats. Now a trio--after the departure of guitarist Chris Cohen--the ...

$6.39 | | Serene Velocity: A Stereolab Anthology CD (2006) Remastered
Living Well album
$9.29
Released by the Rhino label in 2006, the beautifully titled and intuitively assembled SERENE VELOCITY is the first Stereolab anthology to explore the remarkably wide range of the revered post-rock group's Elektra albums. Proceeding from the dreamy drone of "Jenny Ondioline" (1993) to the funky, hip-hop-influenced "Metronomic Underground" ('96) to the shimmering experimental-pop confection "Sudden Stars" ('04), the 16-track collection boldly attempts to capture the essence of the British/French ensemble in the space of one disc, and largely succeeds. Stereolab's collective affinity for Krautrock, cinematic scores, and 1960s pop are all on display here, as deftly channeled through the coolly detached lead vocals of Laetitia Sadier, the dynamic guitar/keyboard lines of Tim Gane, and the precise work of the band's formidable rhythm section. Although the slightly earlier OSCILLONS FROM THE ANTI-SUN compilation covers some of this set's territory, VELOCITY's tight focus and chronological sequence are what make it stand out as the definitive introduction to Stereolab.

Living Well songs
$9.79
This was the first recording by this collaborative trio. Each of their three explorative musical sensibilities work sympathetically with one another. Terje Rypdal's extended and floating guitar notes fly over the propulsive and explosive drumming of Jack DeJohnette, while Miroslav Vitous dashes back and forth between the two of them on the string bass. Rypdal and Vitous each wrote two of the set's six pieces, with ...
