Low To The Ground CD (2000) Bonus Tracks; Japan
 $33.75
It's hard to argue with such smart, heartbroken but hopeful narrative tunes as "Keeping the Sparks," "Into the Scenery," and "Ten O'Clock Your Time" -- all fantastic little chunks of American guitar pop storytelling goodness. Thankfully, lead songwriter and singer Dean Fertita and his band of merry janglers still keep the faith and hold a torch for the glory days of three guitar and harmonizing vocals as practiced by such rock & roll luminaries as the Byrds, Big Star, and, well, the Beatles. That and the band's apparent understanding that glib hooks and shimmering guitars lines alone do not a great guitar band make. LOW TO THE GROUND, the 13-track full-length from Detroit-based indie rock quartet the Waxwings, contains the songs "Keeping the Sparks," "Sleepy Head," and "Untied," among others.
If jangly guitar rock is a dead art form, no one told Detroit's Waxwings. But what sets Waxwings apart from their guys with guitars contemporaries is the multi-faceted approach -- from their multiple lead singer stance to their effortless stylistic variations to songwriting and performing. Yes, Fertita is the ostensible leader of this group, but Dominic Romano's heartbreaking lead vocals and the harmonies between the group's singers are just as crucial as Fertita's seamless songwriting in setting the band apart from such easy-baked new pop heroes as Zumpano and Apples in Stereo. Waxings balance the introspective with the celebratory, the dark with the light and the bitter with the sweet, with a combination of considered economy and emotional honesty.
