One Of Indie's Most Overloooked Outfits,
By Paul H. "rmj84" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Know By Heart (Audio CD)
The American Analog Set makes some of the most lovely low-key indie rock, a mixture of warm strummed guitar, steady beats, vibes, analog synths, and Andrew Kenny's whisper of a voice. The unassuming songs are perfect tools for unwinding, but despite the subdued tones, the record never bores. The ironically-titled opener "Punk As F*ck" is a great place to start, while "The Postman," "The Kindness Of Strangers," "Million Young," and "Aaron And Maria" meld the quieter moments of Yo La Tengo with jazzy undertones lifted from Tortoise and other post-rock outfits. Know By Heart is not so much revolutionary as it is just simply strong and affecting.

their best yet?,
By matt wishnow (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Know By Heart (Audio CD)
3 albums into a career defined by gorgeous, minor chord drones and no-tempo jams that are reminiscent of the feelies and yo la tengo more than stereolab (to whom they are often compared), aas return with a daring new album of concise, beautiful songs. know by heart is one of the best albums of 2001. long time fans will want to spend a little extra time with this album toget used to the increased guitar and bass and the decreased organ but repeated listens will provide wonderful rewards.

For those looking for a bit of fresh air,
By A Customer
This review is from: Know By Heart (Audio CD)
I was looking for something new that I could really fall in love with. The sound of this record is amazing, and it shows some of the finest production I have seen for this band. If you like progressive rock and a new sound in your ears get this album. I am sure fans of Yo La Tengo, Wilco, Minus 5,and My Morning Jacket will love this album just for its feel. Even though this album tends to get lower ratings than the other albums, it is a better introduction into their music and in my opinion one of their best.
