Issued in late 2007, FRIEND is the follow-up to Grizzly Bear's lauded YELLOW HOUSE, and features reworked versions of tracks from that album and its predecessor, HORN OF PLENTY, by both the Brooklyn-based group and other indie acts. The quartet is joined by Beirut's Zach Condon and the Dirty Projectors on a restless new rendition of "Alligator," while Atlas Sound (aka Deerhunter's Bradford Cox) contributes a mesmerizing minimalist take on "Knife." Other standout tracks on the collection are Grizzly Bear's haunting, echo-laden cover of the Gerry Goffin/Carole King pop standard "He Hit Me" and Band of Horses' harmony-heavy rendition of "Plans." For those who fell under the strange rootsy/glitchy spell of YELLOW HOUSE, FRIEND serves as a beautifully woozy after-effect.

Additional personnel: Amber Coffman, Zack Condon, Dave Longstreth, Lucas Crane.

Rolling Stone (p.132) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Grizzly Bear offer a rocked-out remake of their own 'Little Brother,' and a home recording of the folkie standard 'Deep Blue Sea.'"
Harp (magazine) (p.102) - "Grizzly Bear's penchant for the sonically fragile and precise makes for a captivating record."

As wryly noted on LCD Soundsystem's debut 2002 single, "Losing My Edge," in the underground music arms race, aging hipsters are losing ground against young upstarts who are (perhaps) unaware of their own influences. And if influences are the stuff with which post-millennial musicians are made, Murphy has trumped us all. Touching on reference points ranging from disco, krautrock, Bowie, house, and post-punk, to singer-songwriter types, SOUND OF SILVER is a veritable catalog of left-field cool. Leading off with the slow-boil, hypnotic opener, "Get Innocuous"--which sounds a bit like a reprise of "Losing My Edge" crossed with Kraftwerk's "The Robots"--the album moves from dance-floor stormers to plaintive piano numbers without batting an eye. On "North American Scum," Murphy lampoons the often mistaken idea that LCD Soundsystem is a U.K. act; his nasal vocal echoing Jonathan Richman as he declares "for those of you who think we're from England--we're not." As humorously self-effacing as he is, SOUND OF SILVER also shows Murphy's growth as a songwriter. On the album's closer "New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down," he laments the passing of the old New York, "To the cops who are bored once they've run out of crime/New York you're perfect don't change a thing." It's a fitting tribute that holds up against the countless other great songs written about the Big Apple. James Murphy is well-known as ...

Battles Mirrored CD  (2007)

Friend
CD $12.89  3.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
If modern day indie music appears to consist of an endless queue of groups that are either bland emo retreads or glitzy disco punkers, it is then that much more refreshing to encounter a band like Battles. With a lineage that consists of some of indie rock's most accomplished musicians, Battles is a veritable neo-prog supergroup, though one that embraces the possibilities of technology used in tandem with instrumental virtuosity. MIRRORED, the band's debut full-length makes its intent clear from the onset--to ingest 50 years of rock history and regurgitate it as fractilized micro-symphonies. Rhythms bounce whimsically from motorik krautrock beats to glammed up T. Rex shuffles; such stop-on-a-dime surprises seem to be offered up at every turn. Tyondai Braxton's bizarre vocal ...

On 2007's BOXER, the National's second full-length album for the venerable Beggars Banquet label, the Brooklyn-based indie-rock act follows up the lauded ALLIGATOR with another round of melancholy guitar-driven tunes. Led by deep-voiced vocalist Matt Berninger, who often sounds hung-over yet disarmingly articulate, the band excels at brooding mid-tempo songs, as exemplified by the world-weary "Fake Empire," which combines political and personal themes, and "Mistaken for Strangers," a track that recalls NYC peers Interpol, thanks in part to the punchy approach of shared producer Peter Katis. And while his presence isn't immediately apparent, indie hero Sufjan Stevens contributes piano to two tracks ("Racing Like a Pro" and "Ada"), ...

Animal Collective Strawberry Jam CD  (2007)

Friend
CD $14.69  5 stars Audio Samples
While the band was never really folk, STRAWBERRY JAM finds them severing themselves entirely from any freak-folk allegiances, as almost all the more acoustic elements of earlier records have been replaced with noise bursts, electronic blips and loops, keyboard swells, and even electric guitar muscle. Their earlier records were hardly naïve, but STRAWBERRY JAM reveals a band maturing in identity so confidently in their collective magic that they can offer what seems like a standard pop melody ("Peacebone," the ecstatic "For Reverend Green") and embrace an overall slicker approach, yet still have an air of revelation about them. STRAWBERRY JAM is more accessible to listeners outside the collective than previous efforts, but if more structure is the price for growing older ...

When Arthur Davis of WREK finally gets his downtown loft above the Blue Ribbon Leather and Shoe Repair and decides to christen it with a live performance of AT Rest what are your options? Do we have electricity, do we have light, and well if I could bottle the future you would all be sending me to the bank.As it stood Mac and Brian had no idea what they were walking into. And as they were hauling those big black boxes up the stairs they would find that the challenges were not insurmountable but at the same time the creative thinker’s. That they were would make this another gig that by standards of The Cramps playing the Agora Ballroom in Atlanta to ten people would have been the Holy Grail. This room being 20 x 30 without any furniture whatsoever would make Mac’s job of microphone placement rather difficult ...
