After saving L.A. rock with their bracing debut WEIRDO RIPPERS, in the process putting the Silverlake underground and its hub club The Smell on the map as well as turning up in the pages of the New Yorker, No Age returned with their Sub Pop debut NOUNS in 2008 and proved all the accolades well-deserved. Recalling milestone noise epics such as DAYDREAM NATION and LOVELESS in equal measure, NOUNS is a perfect collision of impulses: anxious guitar bursts, romo soundscapes, and a pop tunesmith's sense of melody. As producer Pete Lyman rekindles the emotive possibilities of a distorted guitar chord, it's hard to believe that a mere duo--drummer/vocalist Dean Spunt and guitarist Randy Randall--are responsible for the near-symphonic clatter. Includes a 68-page booklet with pictures and art.Rolling Stone (p.68) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "On cuts like 'Eraser,' which take cues from BLEACH-era Nirvana, Randall whips out gnarly riffs while Spunt bashes on his drums, singing about living paycheck to paycheck and trying to escape his lot in life."
Rolling Stone (p.96) - Ranked #50 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "[A] thrilling string of two- and three-minute guitar rants..."
Spin (p.51) - Ranked #13 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "Randall's guitar shifts between glittering instrumental swells and diesel fuzz..."
Uncut (p.94) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "NOUNS is a success: delightfully dazed, good-times punk for a new generation of California dreamers."
Alternative Press (p.135) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "No Age turn the drab and grayscale into things of beauty -- whether it's noisy static, comet trails of distortion or tranquil bits of shoegaze-punk."
CMJ - "NOUNS never gets tiring. It's over quickly, before you can remember much of the blissful blur you just tried to consume in one gulp..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A]n enticing tangle of frazzled noise and partly obscured melodies, playfully pulling the fluorescent din of Husker Du, My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur Jr into fresh shapes."
Clash (magazine) (p.63) - Ranked #34 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "The Sub Pop-released NOUNS is one of 2008's best punk long-players..." Nouns Review

| | Spoon Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga CD (2007)
Nouns music CDs
$13.89 
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 pop, a fact echoed in "The Underdog," one of the album's standout tracks. Those accustomed to rock's usual bombast might dismiss GA GA GA GA GA for its reservation and seeming simplicity, but a closer listen reveals an album of elegant, admirably artful pop.

| | Les Savy Fav Let's Stay Friends CD (2007)
Nouns album
$10.55
New York indie rockers Les Savy Fav returned from a couple of years of self-imposed exile with their fourth full-length, LET'S STAY FRIENDS, which pretty much picks up right where they left off. Their invigorating, visceral-yet-cerebral brand of Wire-influenced art-punk-cum-modern-rock is still full of left-field lyrical sensibilities, hellbent rhythms, and knotty guitar riffs. If anything, their attack is more refined and focused here, serving both the head and the body in equal measure.

| | Fleet Foxes CD (2008)
Nouns CD music
$12.29
With their self-titled full-length Sub Pop debut, Fleet Foxes unveil an impressively confident and engaging set of indie-folk tunes. While singer/guitarist Robin Pecknold's warm, resonant voice clearly brings to mind My Morning Jacket's Jim James, his tight vocal harmonies with other members of the Seattle-based band evoke vintage Beach Boys more than anything else (see the airy "He Doesn't Know Why"). And though the group's gentle instrumentation and pastoral ...
| | Ulf Lundell Den Vassa Eggen CD (1985)
Nouns music CDs
$51.35
Den Vassa Eggen is generally considered one of Lundell's best albums, and also one of his most open and painful ones. The album does contain his usual mix of celebration of life, sentimental memories, and extremely personal stories of failed love and old friends. But this time the sad side is dominant, often interpreted as an effect ...

$17.29 | | Circulatory System Signal Morning CD (2009)
Nouns album
$12.85 
Beginning with the rumbling and enjoyably bass-heavy "Woodpecker Greeting Worker Ant" -- a title that may explain the air of gentle threat throughout, despite the concluding voices of winsome cheer -- SIGNAL MORNING finds a veteran of Olivia Tremor Control, Will Cullen Hart, with help from not only all his former bandmates but fellow travelers from Neutral Milk Hotel, returning to the Circulatory System name after a break of eight years. The fact that one of those fellow travelers is Jeff Mangum will be reason enough for that performer's rabid cult to take an interest, but this is neither a supergroup nor a full reunion of Hart's older band. It's just Hart working within the psych/experimental/indie vein that made Elephant 6 a byword for many (and which helped lay the groundwork for the even wider acceptance of acts like Animal Collective).
