Rock Plaza Central play indie rock of the sort one might expect to stumble upon in some wee hour of a night spent carousing about an oh-so-distant Paris long since swept away. With a sonorous clash of strings and horns sounding like a collaboration between Kurt Weill and Modest Mouse, the Toronto band, fronted by vocalist/author Chris Eaton, crashes through 12 stirring tracks on its 2007 Yep Roc debut, ARE WE NOT HORSES. The acclaimed album runs the gamut from the apoplectic beauty of "Anthem for the Already Defeated" to the balladry of "Our Pasts, Like Lighthouses" to the silly fun of the lo-fi ode to blackout trysts, "8/14/03."
Personnel: Chris Eaton, Rob Carson, Blake Howard , Scott Maynard, Donald Murray, John Whytock, Mr. C's Grade 3 Class From Island Public/Natural Science School, Fiona Stewart.

Purchase Are We Not Horses? CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Destroyer's Rubies CD (2006)
Are We Not Horses? album
 $12.19 
There are enough reasons for some listeners to dismiss Destroyer (aka Dan Bejar) right off--his self-consciously literate lyrics, his precious sense of theatricality, and his shameless David Bowie obsession, to name a few. Yet Bejar makes all of these potential liabilities work in his favor by building smart, absorbing, and remarkably well-crafted pop songs that sink in and then stick.
DESTROYER'S RUBIES, the artist's fifth solo album, is his most accomplished to date, and though it still owes a deep debt to HUNKY ...

| | Menomena Friend And Foe CD (2007)
Are We Not Horses? music CDs
$9.99
Though Menomena often peg themselves as an experimental band, and to some extent very much are an experimental band -- they create most of their songs using a homemade computer program that loops their instrumental riffs until they come up with something whole -- especially in the rhythm section, where the bass and drums play off one another intricately, blending punk- and funk-inspired beats with more straightforward rock emphases, they also have a delicate sense of melody and composition that balances these heavier underpinnings and makes the band rather poppy at times. It's a nice contrast, the lighter keyboards and almost nasally indie rock vocals (which all three members share) against the pounding drums and ominous saxophone. Musically, there's a lot happening on Friend and Foe, their first release with Barsuk -- different bits entering and exiting -- but it's not ...

Are We Not Horses? music CDs
$9.25
An instantly recognizable bargain bin staple since the late '70s, thanks to their colorful comic book covers tracing the romantic life of an Everycouple named Peg and Eddie, the Cruisin' series of discs are built on a brilliant concept: each disc is devoted to a single year, with hit songs, local commercials, station jingles and news headlines all presided over by a noted DJ from the era for a near-perfect re-creation of that year's AM radio experience. Cruisin' ...

| | Baby Bash Tha Smokin' Nephew Chopped & Screwed Version CD (2003) Chop
Are We Not Horses? album
$6.55
Principally recorded at The Clinic, Digital Services, Dope House Recording, Houston, Texas; R&D Studios, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Baby Bash hails from Houston, Texas, but he'll never be confused with the horror-movie violence of the local Geto Boys or the syrup-swiggers of the Screwed Up Click; Baby Bash is into his own thing. Signed to a major on the strength of the ultra-catchy, smooth-R&B-infused hit "Suga Suga," THA SMOKIN' NEPHEW, the spry rapper displays a variety of skills beyond the scope of the single.
While success has blown in overnight, Baby Bash has plied his trade for nearly a decade, and he was a member of the supergroup Latino Velvet in the late 1990s with Kid Frost and Jay Tee of N2DEEP. Bash's strongest point is his versatility-he's as comfortable with a heartfelt R. Kelly-style ballad like "Feeling Me" as with a piece of crunked-out hardcore thuggery like "Yes Suh" or the hippie-like alterna-rap of "Early in the Morning." He'll even switch off mid-song, as on "Image of a Pimp," which starts off out of the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony school before suddenly taking an MC Solaar turn in the third verse. Bash's language doesn't slack either, as he operates with a certain reflective subtlety, while showing the ability to blithely knock off a line like "so kamikaze, shrinin' like Liberace."
This is an example of the Southern Rap "screwed" mix style.
Personnel includes: Baby Bash, Frankie J., Max Minelli, Grimm, Lucky Luciano, ...
| | Sara Evans Real Fine Place CD (2005)
Are We Not Horses? CD music
$8.99
On 2005's REAL FINE PLACE, country singer Sara Evans kicks things off with the twangy, upbeat "Coalmine," an allusion (intentionally or not) to the great Loretta Lynn. Rather than being a coalminer's daughter, however, Evans is a coalminer's girlfriend, offering a playful update of a classic country theme. Although Evans shows an allegiance to her rural roots, she's also unapologetically taken with pop/rock arrangements, as on the uplifting "Real Fine Place to Start," the soaring "New Hometown," and the nostalgic "Roll Me Back in Time" (penned by Sheryl Crow and her frequent collaborator, John Shanks). Whether she's keeping it country or venturing ...
