Purchase No Way Down CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Interpol Antics CD (2004)
No Way Down
$11.99 Had Interpol been honest with themselves before making their second album, they would've accepted the fact that improving on the debut would be out of the question. Their prime objective, then, would be to make a different record -- not a better one. Suck it up, prepare for the inevitable "sophomore slump" darts, and get on with it. Having fielded comparison after comparison since the release of Turn on the Bright Lights, you'd think the band would've also thought to be more cautious the second time around. They weren't. Believe it or not, Antics opens with a song that resembles a defunct band more closely -- in structure, sound, and sentiment -- than anything on the debut. From the processional church organ to the sighing guitar, from the echo on the spare piano notes to the sound of the drums, from the stained-glass window to the wailing wall, "Next Exit" is a poor facsimile of Gentlemen-era Afghan Whigs (there we go again). Though the remainder of the album sounds like Interpol, and not your favorite unsung band, it's far from a favorable start -- and as Antics plays out, the album begins to form the shape of a Singles Going Unsteady, with five possible A-sides and as many apparent B-sides arranged to stream like something you'd listen to from beginning to ...
| | Junior Boys So This Is Goodbye CD (2006)
No Way Down
$11.59 Junior Boys: Jeremy Greenspan (vocals). Personnel: David Levy (flute, clarinet, saxophone). Additional personnel: Andi Toma (keyboards). Recording information: Hamilton, Canada; St. Martin Tonstudio, Dusseldorf, Germany. Illustrator: Jacqui Oakley. While Junior Boys' debut indie sleeper LAST EXIT leaned more toward pastiche--a product of influences as far afield as 2-step garage and Timbaland's stutter-funk--their sophomore effort, SO THIS IS GOODBYE, is a step toward pop song form (albeit of the slowly unfurling, epic variety). Junior Boys recast the notion of northern soul in terms of blue-eyed crooners born of icy Canadian winters, as opposed to the inner-city blues of the American rustbelt. Jeremy Greenspan's weightlessly gorgeous voice contrasts with the music's frigid, prickly ...
| | Deerhunter Cryptograms CD (2007)
No Way Down
$11.89 Deerhunter: Bradford Cox, Colin Mee. Personnel: Lockett Pundt (vocals, guitar, electric guitar, slide guitar); Bradford Cox (vocals, guitar, slide guitar, accordion, piano, bells, drum programming, electronics, tapes); Josh Fauver (vocals, guitar); Moses Archuleta (vocals, synthesizer, drums, electronics); Colin Mee (guitar, electric guitar, tapes). Audio Mixer: Nicolas Vernhes. Recording information: Radium Recording (2005). Authors: L. Somerset; The B-52's. Photographer: Bradford Cox. Unknown Contributor Role: Moses Archuleta. Deerhunter's first album, the self-titled release from Atlanta-based Stickfigure, was a cacophonous, messy, punk-driven record that banged and pulsated along in the shock ...
| | Madlib Beat Konducta Vol. 3-4: India CD (2007)
No Way Down
$11.79 As prolific as he is talented, producer extraordinaire Madlib moved east for his second Beat Konducta installment, In India. Unlike Vol. 1-2, which was themed around an imaginary film, Vol. 3-4 has no clear overarching purpose, and the 34 tracks connect to one another only because their samples were all taken from Indian records from the '70s and '80s. And it's here that Madlib's high output works both positively and negatively for him. On one hand, he's able to offer an extraordinary amount of different sounds all tabled around a unifying idea (the sitar, the tabla), from the very RZA-esque "Smoke Circles" to the percussive "Freeze" to the fuzzy, layered vocals of "Dancing Girls Theme." But he also relies almost solely on his own innate and insane amount of natural skill, without always thinking much about the finished product, too excited about the next thing he's going to create to even remember what he did a few minutes before, and this carelessness shows up now and again, weakening the overall effect of the record. Cuts like "Masala," "Another Getaway," "Dark Alley Incidental Music," and "The Rip Off (Scene 3)" seem hastily thrown together without ...
| | Cut Copy In Ghost Colours CD (2008)
No Way Down
$8.95 Australian electro-pop outfit Cut Copy are among the legions of indie acts defecting en masse to the low-end thump of house music. While the patchwork quality of their debut, BRIGHT LIKE NEON LOVE, sounds like a band searching for an identity, their follow-up, IN GHOST COLOURS, is a more assured effort, revealing spirited pop songwriting chops amidst throbbing dance floor workouts. Pitched between the worlds of cheeky stadium rock-inspired irony and self-referential sampledelic electronica, Cut Copy's effusive crossover electro will win over pop fans of all persuasions. In Ghost Colours announces itself, calmly but majestically, with a wash of hazy voices and fluttering keyboards giving way to crystal-clear acoustic strums, languid indie pop vocals, a sturdy dance-rock groove, pulsating electro-disco synths, swirling Caribou-style psychedelics, and an ethereal, vocoded chorus melody. Squeezing all of that into one song -- the effervescent "Feel the Love" -- ...
| | Flaming Lips Embryonic CD (2009)
No Way Down
$11.25 Personnel: Karen O (vocals); Thorsten Wörmann (spoken vocals); Dave Fridmann (programming). Audio Mixers: Dave Fridmann; Flaming Lips. Recording information: Dull Roar Studios, Oklahoma City, OK (02/2009-07/2009); Tarbox Road Studios, Cassadaga, NY (02/2009-07/2009). CHRISTMAS ON MARS might be the Flaming Lips' bona fide sci-fi epic, but EMBRYONIC is the musical equivalent of the final scenes of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY: transformative chaos that results in a new start. From THE SOFT BULLETIN onward, the Lips seemed focused on tidying the loose ends of their earlier work, almost to the point of constraining themselves. Their wilder side is unleashed on Embryonic's 18 tracks, and the band sounds more off-the-cuff than it has in years -- some tracks are barely longer than snippets, others are rangy epics, and it all holds together so organically that listeners might wonder just how much these songs were edited. Musically, EMBRYONIC is the least polite the Flaming Lips have ...

| | Goin Public Free Exchange CD (1997)
No Way Down
$12.15 "I love the variety that L.A. offers in terms of musical opportunities, from classical to rock and roll, but for all of us, our real passion is jazz"Rick Rossi, sax player - Goin PublicGoin Pulic is a young band that delivers a blend of cool, edgy jazz and R&B Funk. The band's self-titled 1995 debut album gained them quite a following with its blend of jazz and hip hop. On this new CD they are joined by guest artists percussionist Luis Conte (Sting, Miles Davis) and Bass Clarinet Player Bennie Maupin (Herbie Hancock)"Preferring a combination of danceable back beats and simpler melodies alongside Luis Conte's congas, bongos & percussion arsenal, Goin Public provides a forum for the adventuresome solo work of guitarist [Johhnny Valentino], pianist [Ken Burgomaster]and saxophonist [Rick Rossi] Rick Rossi's timbre is unique; his solo presentation on "Discrete Desires" wafts beautifully and his doubling with guitar produces a sliding effect much like that of a violinist. "Step By Step" and "Three Fenders In The Corner" feature some ...
