One would have to return to BACK IN BLACK to find a lead singer switcheroo as smooth as the one pulled off by the Ponys on their Matador debut, TURN OUT THE LIGHTS. Recorded after Brian Case replaced former stalwart Ian Adams on vocals and second guitar, TURN OUT THE LIGHTS is the Chicago quartet's best offering to date. The crisper production--courtesy of the band members themselves--crystallizes their echo-drenched take on Pixies-style guitar pop, while leaving their feral energy intact.Rolling Stone (p.63) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]hey crash and boom and reverberate....Their forebears are more along the lines of faux-arena formalists like Dinosaur Jr. and Spiritualized."
Spin (p.98) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Here, John Agnello's knob-twiddling is spot-on, with the guitars quivering and quaking on the hook-laden 'Double Vision'..."
Magnet (p.109) - "Even when the Ponys bring things down to earth -- like on the slide-guitar-laced gospel blues of 'Shine' -- they can't resist ladling on enough echoed vocals and cranial-zapping effects to induce Spaceman 3 flashbacks."

As one of the seminal college-rock bands of the late '80s/early '90s, Dinosaur Jr. definitively bridged the gap between the musical mindsets of '80s "alternative" and '90s "indie." Along the way, they influenced scads of young slackers wielding fuzzy guitars and moldy Neil Young albums. The recordings around which the band's legend largely revolves (GREEN MIND, YOU'RE ...
| | Spoon Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga CD (2007)
Turn The Lights Out
$12.95  
By 2007 Spoon had grown into one of the most quietly inventive and accomplished outfits in rock. Like 2005's excellent GIMME FICTION, GA GA GA GA GA is a winning combination of hook-heavy pop and post-punk angles driven by a unique piano-guitar interplay and singer Britt Daniels's expressive vocals. But Spoon's secret ingredient is their spare, often brilliant arrangements. Like a Japanese calligrapher drawing on rice paper, Spoon applies minimal lines and shading to make each song a meticulous pop universe full of texture and subtlety.
The ephemeral and appropriately haunting "The Ghost of You Lingers" is a fine example; its radically pared-down piano motif and elliptical melody sound like a cross between Terry Riley and Paul McCartney. "You Got Yr Cherry Bomb" employs a bouncy Motown groove and horns, proving Spoon as adept at driving grooves as atmospheric ...

In 1977, the German label Hansa held a contest that elicited entries from over 1000 bands. The eight winners, including Japan (and an unknown group called the Easy Cure who later became the Cure) received recording contracts and, a year later, ADOLESCENT SEX hit the shops. Perhaps because of its glamrock-esque cover art (this at the height of the first wave of English punk rock), it was largely ignored.
The band's vocalist David Sylvian is legendarily unhappy with the record, and it is possible to guess why: it contains some fairly misguided lyrics--especially on "Wish You Were Black." The album probably seemed pretty edgy and hip at the time, however, complete with its truly odd version of a Barbara Streisand standard, "Don't Rain on My Parade," complete with "ooo-eee-ooo" backing vocals. The record does contain at least two lasting classics: the title track, with its growling "Just keep on dancing" lyric, brittle guitar shards, and punchy rhythm section, and "Communist China," featuring several of Sylvian's early vocal experiments. However, as with all of Japan's albums, the unsung star is Mick Karn's stunningly versatile bass playing, and that is ...
