Deerhoof Holdy Paws Songs Holdy Paws Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  a kick to the face...an imprint of a Deerhoof...
ah, the initial introduction to this band for me. I have now since blatantly shown my addictive affection towards Deerhoof by collecting (almost) the entirety of their studio outputs. However, when I first obtained this, I was thrown in a bizarre world of childish twinkle and devastating clamor. A group with a penchant for lurching grooves that sort of spattered, but flowed, and an odd interest in the melodic match up of vocalist's Satomi, a high squeak, to that of single note guitar lines and keyboards. There is another element to that spare match up. The choice of notes and the space between the strum of chords and the splattering rhythms causes this very unique syncopation that reminds me very much of a classical-like compositional structuring. Yet, somewhere in there floats a no-wave sonic flavoring that just mauls at the face with audible shattering and a jazz approach underneath somewhere (I can't pin it directly, though that's deerhoof). A band with so many flavors, you're wondering if your taste buds are indecisive. From sounds that could come out of bands like Unwound and Polvo, to arrangements akin to sophisticated musical scholars, and a pinch of knitting factory noise (that good ole' downtown new york)-we're talkin' DNA sound scraping. Deerhoof merges a pool of styles and moods for some of the most successful and passionate music I've heard. A very recommended sophomore effort that allows exploration of their career to only progress from here (as it has).

New York's 1970s punk was markedly different to that of Britain. Rather than reject the past, American groups deconstructed its forms and rebuilt them with recourse to the music's strengths. Television's leader, Tom Verlaine, professed admiration for Moby Grape and the folk rock of early Fairport Convention. Elements of the latter appear on this album's title track, which offers a thrilling instrumental break, built upon a modal scale. Verlaine's shimmering guitar style provides ...
| | Blonde Redhead Misery Is A Butterfly CD (2004)
Holdy Paws songs
$13.69
Moving from their longtime home at Touch & Go to the renowned 4AD label, NYC art-rockers Blonde Redhead have made telling sonic adjustments, trading in their noisy, abrasive edge for a refined, often orchestral sound. The trio--Kazu Makino and twin brothers Amedeo and Simone Pace--makes the transition clear from the get-go on "Elephant Woman," which features Makino's breathy vocals over a backdrop of harpsichord, strings, and light percussion. Melancholy is certainly the main theme of this album, as exquisitely exemplified by the title track, a somber, keyboard-driven piece that borders ...
| | Arcade Fire Funeral CD (2004)
Holdy Paws album
$12.25 
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers some spellbinding vocals on "Haiti," while the tinkling piano and strings on "Crown of Love" conjure up a heartbroken surfside prom. In 2004, this made many critics' year-end lists, and it's no wonder--the songs on FUNERAL are so packed with unique instrumentation, mesmerizing build-ups, and galvanizing tempo changes that they seem culled from some enigmatic, decade-spanning rock anthology.
This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through ...

$13.65
Crover is a brutal enough drummer on his own, but the addition of Coady Willis on a second kit both increases the power of the assault and keeps things curiously off-kilter; Jared Warren's bass is all rumbling fuzz and punch and provides an impressive platform for Crover's art-metal riffage; and the multilayered vocals make the whole thing that much more colossal. The Melvins have always been something ...
