The second album by Illinois indie rockers Shipwreck has such a deliberately limited musical aesthetic that before it's even half over, even the most minimally musically savvy listener can accurately predict what the rest of the album will sound like. Even on relatively slow songs like the hyper-dramatic "Black Moon," guitarists and singers John Owen and Harman Jordan reveal themselves to be one-trick ponies in terms of guitar sounds and arrangement ideas. Think back and mentally reconstruct the first minute of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name," focusing primarily on the Edge's guitar part and Larry Mullen, Jr.'s drum pattern: this is the basic template of literally every song on Rabbit in the Kitchen with a New Dress On. The guitars are relentless in their high-register tweedle-eedle-eedle, and drummer Christopher Waage and bassist Vladimir Brilliant tend to favor the sort of tightly wound rhythms so popular among new wave revivalists in the years since the first Strokes album. When it works, as on the seriously Echo & the Bunnymen-like "Kiss in the Dark," individual songs can be appealing, if no less derivative. But listening to a whole album's worth of this is just deadening. ~ Stewart Mason

After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive ...

Rabbit In The Kitchen With A New Dress On songs

Upon its release, Rolling Stone called The Ballad of Todd Rundgren "the best album Paul McCartney" never made, and even if the album doesn't sound particularly McCartney-esque, it does share the homespun, melodic charm of the best of his early albums. Arguably, it's better than Paul's solo work, since it is focused and subtle, never drawing attention to Rundgren's considerable skills as a writer and producer. He tones down the hard rock and his impish wit, ...

| | Paul Haig Chain CD (1989) (Import) Bonus Tracks; United Kingdom
Rabbit In The Kitchen With A New Dress On music CDs
$15.85
Originally released in 1989, CHAIN is an archetypal album from Paul Haig's solo career. Far removed from the scrappy indie-pop of his early band Josef K (a key influence on the likes of Franz Ferdinand), Haig's solo career tended towards sleek, synthesized dance pop, and CHAIN is one of Haig's finest efforts in the style. This remastered reissue adds five bonus tracks taken from single remixes and b-sides, including previously unreleased remixes of the singles "Something Good" and "Ideal of Living."
Latter-day fans of Josef K who discovered the group and their leader, Paul Haig, through the neo-Brit-pop bands that take the Scottish indie stalwarts as one of their main starting points (we're looking at you, Franz Ferdinand) may be the target audience for this reissue of Haig's solo album Chain, but be warned: Chain was originally released in 1989. In other words, there is almost none of the shambolic guitar pop that made Josef K's name here, because like the majority of Haig's solo material, this is synthesizer-based dance music. Because it came out in 1989, the year of Madchester and the much-vaunted Return of the Summer of Love, one might expect that Chain is the sort of jump into Hacienda-style acid house beats in the manner of the albums that compatriots like New Order, the Style Council, and even former freakbeat-revivalists merchants the Times recorded around the same time. Sadly, however, Chain isn't even particularly interesting as an example of bandwagon jumping, because it largely consists of pretty much exactly the sort ...
