4.0 out of 5 stars Cultured Teenage Angst, June 7, 2000

This review is from: Dead Letter Chorus (Audio CD)

I've been listening to the Llama Farmers since they sent demos out to radio stations and magazines and,i'll admit it freely, am something of a fan. But their debut lp doesn't live up to their earlier promise. Their are some brilliant songs here and they evoke memories of many brilliant bands along the way, Kim Deal (of the Pixies) could have written the bassline for P.V.C, and there are hints of Ash, Foo Fighters, Nirvana and Dinosaur Jnr along the way but ultimately they lack the emotion or passion. 'The Picture' is a notable exception, full of energy and angst with a simple but beautiful riff to go with it, 'P.V.C.', 'Yellow' and 'Forgot To Breathe' are also diverse and impressive, ranging from the steady bass riff of P.V.C. to the lo-fi fuzz of Yellow. Forgot to Breathe is a melloncholic acoustic song that shows that they can do the slow stuff as well as the power pop-rock and the rest of the songs are worthy enough but overall nothing leaps out at you. There's no moment of sudden realisation that this is what you were loking for even if you didn't know it and there's no real deliverance of the promises made on the debut single 'Paper Eyes', sadly absent here. Still for a band with an average age of around 17 it's impressive and the new single (Same Song/Movie) is out now in the UK and promises a maturity absent on Dead Letter Chorus. Fingers crossed then.
