American Analog Set - Fun Of Watching Fireworks CD

This co-ed quartet has perfected the art of the lock-groove lullaby, enticing you to close your eyes and blissfully follow AmAnSet down the road to nowhere in particular. Guitars jingle and jangle, basslines ramble, and vintage synthesizers chug like the Land of Nod express, puffing out pastel clouds that spread out as invitingly as a sky-wide bed. You won't find many edges here, though "On My Way" and "It's Alright" are a li'l bit country, and cymbal-heavy drumming allows "Dim Stars" to pass for perky. "Gone to Earth" and "Too Tired to Shine II" shimmer and slither, content to ramble deliciously like miles of heavenly highway. FIREWORKS' slow and steady pace wins no races, but AmAnSet's sleepy charms do win your heart.

Fort Worth's American Analog Set hails from the school of post-Velvet Underground sedative guitar/keyboard strum-and-swell that gives us Galaxie 500, Yo La Tengo, and Stereolab. AmAnSet's music is even gentler--if that's possible. Instead of angular outbursts or feedback squalls, here we find a splash of cheery '60s-styled psychedelia, with fickly flitting flutes, fluttery Farfisa melodies, a lyrical preoccupation with all things warm and bright, and cooing boy/girl voices mingled like the hues of a rosy sunset.

The American Analog Set includes: Ken (vocals, guitar).

Alternative Press (1/97, p.64) - 4 (out of 5) - "...The American Analog Set do what many of the latest swarm of space rockers cannot: They craft beautiful songs and then layer them in waves of soothing effects..."
Option (1-2/97, p.75) - "...AmAnSets's distinct, organ-based sound separates the group from the Low/Bedhead/Spain snorecore set...this group does slow better than many, effectively mixing and matching instrumentation without sounding desperate for novelty..."
