| | Benji Hughes Love Extreme CD Benji Hughes Discography of CDs
With his lo-fi production approach, his blend of the earthy and the urbane, and his refusal to take anything particularly seriously, Benji Hughes comes off like a 21st-century reincarnation of early Beck on A LOVE EXTREME. From mellow balladry to riff-rock to funk-powered dance music, the North Carolinan keeps his tongue firmly in cheek while displaying his broad stylistic range.

Rolling Stone (p.114) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The North Carolina-and-Tennessee-reared artist specializes in laugh-out-loud vignettes about hipster culture, with catchy, eccentrically arranged songs that straddle folk, lounge, electro, synth rock and a half-dozen other styles."
Spin (p.100) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Hughes mixes the handsome, slightly askew vibe of early Beck with observational gifts that echo Fountains of Wayne."
Blender (Magazine) (p.74) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his is pop that gets out and moves, and has you rooting for the wallflower with the yawny voice to do the same." Benji Hughes Love Extreme Songs Love Extreme Review

Purchase Love Extreme CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Bloc Party Silent Alarm CD (2005)
Love Extreme album
 $10.79   
On this immensely appealing debut, SILENT ALARM, the London-based quartet Bloc Party fulfills the promise of their barnstorming 2004 singles "Banquet" and "She's Hearing Voices." Led by magnetic frontman Kele Okereke, the band extracts the most fascinating aspects of the previous 25 years of British indie rock and fuses them into a new entity--complete with smarts and heart--never delving into retro-kitsch or slavish imitation.
Okerere's urgent yelp most often recalls a fired-up incarnation of the Cure's Robert Smith, but the sounds the group creates echo everything from Gang of Four's staccato militarism ("Banquet") to the reverberating guitars of the Chameleons ("Price of Gas"). At times, Bloc Party also recalls the ecstatic soundwashes of early-1990s cult pioneers like Ride ("Plans") and Slowdive ("Compliments"). Lyrically, Okerere tilts toward an endearing adolescent pessimism that, even when the music is less than mopey, gives him away as a goth at heart ("and the ravens are leaving the tower/make your peace"). However, at the end of "Price of Gas," when he proclaims "I can tell you how this ends/We're going to win this," one can hope that Okerere is expressing his confidence in a bright future for his extremely talented band.

US post-punk revivalists Interpol's 2002 debut made it possible for a wave of Joy Division copycats to ape those dark-but-danceable sounds of the late-1970s/early-'80s. By 2004, coming off like the bastard offspring of Ian Curtis and Echo & the Bunnymen was a ticket to the top of the charts, even in America. Unsurprisingly, it took the Brits to do it right. The hue and cry over Editors ...
| | Appleseed Cast Peregrine CD (2006) Digipak
Love Extreme album
$10.09 
The Appleseed Cast has a sound that you might have a hard time categorizing until you hear someone use the phrase "Midwest post-rock." Then it becomes obvious that that's exactly what they sound like, even if the term itself is really kind of baffling. You have to hear it to understand: the Appleseed Cast's sound is often noisy, but is never just noise; they experiment with weird and unusual production approaches, but you wouldn't ...
