Biography

Although Seattle pop quartet the Crystal Skulls have impeccable indie credentials -- they record for the faultlessly hip indie Suicide Squeeze Records and singer Christian Wargo is a former member of both the Danielson Famile and Pedro the Lion -- the root of their sound is a resolutely unfashionable strain of 1970s AM pop music, one that includes Steely Dan, Wings, Todd Rundgren, 10cc, and Gerry… Read more in Amazon's Crystal Skulls Store

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This is the highly anticipated debut from Seattle's smart and stylish indie-pop band. "Blocked Numbers" recalls 70's power-pop underdogs (The Motors, The Nerves, etc.) and integrates them with past and present heavy hitters such as Spoon, The Smiths, and Steely Dan. Equal parts clever and clear where humor and fun play side by side with sentiment and honesty. A hint of outsider jazz, a bit of George Harrison's guitar, a nip at Stereolab's rhythms, and the full package mounts up to a true pop pleasure. "The most promising art-infected indie rock Seattle has produced in years"--The Stranger.

5.0 out of 5 stars good stuff ere', June 10, 2005
By dale gunderman (Petaluma, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Like what the other two reviews say.....cool stuff here. I like this album a lot. Crystal Skulls have a very smooth vibe and it shows through on every cut. Well crafted songs that are both thoughtful and very well executed. If you enjoy guitars that hold tone and balance of melody this is it. Add to this, superb drumming and silky and bustling bass, smothered with clever and sublime vocal delivery you have an album worth the money and the time. No gripes with me about any of this albums content.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Smart, Jazzy New Sound, March 29, 2005
By Akiva (Port Frenzy, Togo) - See all my reviews
This is a tight, focused, and breezy record of intelligent music that walks the fine line between lounge and rock without falling to the shortcomings of either genre. A little bit of Karate and a little bit of latter day Los Halos, these guys have a clean delivery that hides a subtle depth that begs repeated listenings.

If there is any complaint to lodge against this record is that, at 34 minutes, it goes by way too quickly. Thank God for repeat mode.

5.0 out of 5 stars loungy goodness
This entire album has a fresh, chill, lounge sound. I went to see them last week at a club in phoenix and they sound just as good live as they do on the album! Read more
