You get the feeling that the members of Milemarker grew up listening to Crass, Siouxsie & the Banshees, the Minutemen, and Wire as well as the aboriginal hardcore of their D.C. homeland. In spite of the obvious influences, the group (or, as they prefer to be called, the collective) has a completely original sound that lies somewhere between the melodic weirdness that was cult capital-area new wavers 9353 and the shimmering political prog punk explored by Fugazi, though filtered through the haze of guitar-friendly-period Rush.

Fanzine chats with the group tend to focus on the political nature of the band, and it's obvious that the members all see the group as a platform for such views. This is nice, but Milemarker isn't a soapbox shouter; the music holds up and the dogmatic overtures do not replace nor distract from the damn-near danceable songs on the disc. The lead cut, "Shrink to Fit," encapsulates the band's sound nicely, as it trades off different vocal styles, offers a catchy riff augmented with prominent '80s keys, and contains an eerie melody during the chorus that could be goth, could be electronica, could be rock, but whatever it is, it couldn't be better. As the record goes along, the songs lose their edge somewhat, but not in a bad way. This includes more surreal instrumentation like U2 might pull off if they were an indie rock band who loved Pink Floyd, such as on the dreamy "Ant Architect" and the droning, shoegazing disc-closer, "The Installment Plan," which completes the vision of an uncompromising group who writes brilliant songs of all temperatures. ~ Brian O'Neill

3 stars Shows promise?
An okay sort of new wave versus hardcore album. Some catchy songs remind me of Prolapse. Other songs drag and seem to go nowhere, but that's what the skip button on the CD player is for. Props to them for trying to be political, but their lyrics are very adolescent.

Consciousness
Windy & Carl Consciousness CD  (2001)

Anaesthetic music CDs
CD $12.95  Audio Samples
The world of experimental rock is crowded with musicians seeking to add more and varied sounds to their growing body of recorded work, while restlessly seeking to diversify their approach by absorbing more and more from outside their musical universe in terms of form, source, and stylistic considerations. Dearborn, MI, duo Windy & Carl tread a different path: They are interested -- no -- obsessed with creating a musical aesthetic based solely on digging ever deeper into the sub-subbasement of drone-based guitar music. As evidenced by this, their fourth long player, they've accomplished that. Windy & Carl, with their deceptively spare production mannerisms and subtle shadings of guitars, barely audible vocals, some keyboards, and employed sounds from other spheres, have developed a manner of letting the music speak for itself through them. By getting out of the way, they have developed a signature that belongs to them (apart from stealing an Archie Shepp album cover from the 1970s to illustrate this small wonder). While the tone of their music is always contemplative, it is never static: Movement happens at different speeds, in odd ebbs and flows, but travel is inherently what the music on Consciousness is all about. The beautiful shimmering single notes trilled and echoed repetitively are woven into a quilt of light on "The Sun," offering only glimpses of the atmosphere that underlies the track, which is considerable. A mass of transparent gauze -- weighing a ton -- gilds the guitar in gold and shimmering, glistening whole tones that find -- in their moving back and forth -- staggered nuances that create a microtonal ambience, where the drone is finally revealed in its nakedness and reverberating majesty. "Balance (Trembling)" moves from the predominant guitar sound into another field of exploration. The whirring sound of helicopter blades, paired with a guitar's elemental chordal drone, dominate the track. The blades waver in dynamic fibrillation and turn each other around to the point of being unidentifiable in both essence and existence. Is there a keyboard drone here? As long as the whirring continues it is impossible to distinguish how much things are distorted or shifting -- though it's obvious they are. And the constancy of the whirring -- itself a drone -- creates a trembling of anticipation for change, for the unknown to enter, for the caress of a lover's lips upon the skin. Beauty, foreboding, and electric anticipation ...
