title of review, October 30, 2004
This review is from: Louder Than You Can Hear (Audio CD)
This is really great music. A bit like Juliana Hatfield, but less obviously pop. A bit like The Spinanes, but more loose, and unfocussed. Not that any of that is a bad thing, it draws you in in a different way and keeps you guessing about where the songs are going, and it's always somewhere good, even if it's just meandering in circles. It doesn't feel like a purposeful fully-realised musical statement. Like after a song is over you can't remember a chorus, any part that stood out, or hum a melody from it, but the lo-fi atmosphere carries this amazing ragged fragility that is all the stronger for not being memorable, because that means it can surprise you every time you listen. It reminds me of Bettie Serveert, The Softies, and Seam.
