Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Parts & Labor's lyrics, like their music, seek stability within the chaos. Lyrically, Receivers continues Parts & Labor's obsessions with technology gone sinister, post-industrial paranoia, and cultural divides. "Satellites" envisions surveillance machines growing bored watching humans and then hurling themselves into the sun. "Nowheres Nigh" and "Solemn Show World" meditate upon the seemingly endless homogeny of exurban American highways. However, the band's questions this time point more inwardly; these are less calls to arms than they are calls to self-improvement. For every pessimistic observation comes a positive declaration.

Brooklyn rock foursome Parts & Labor aims high, sometimes quite literally. The band’s fourth album, Receivers, opens with an epically sad elegy to an unspecified number of suicidal satellites. Meanwhile, the instruments burn intense musical fuel, piling layer upon layer of guitar, keyboard, drums, and billowing vocal harmonies atop a muscular quarter-note pulse rendered at relentless tempo, and the whole sonic cavalcade rockets forth at top volume. In all, “Satellites” may be the most grandiose statement of intention from an indie-rock album in years. Not that it’s totally unprecedented. Core members Dan Friel (keyboards, vocals) and BJ Warshaw (bass, vocals) already traded in gargantuan noise and imaginative songwriting on the notable Stay Afraid (2006) and Mapmakers (2007). But newly armed with guitarist Sarah Lipstate and drummer Joseph Wong, Parts & Labor have at last begun flirting with genius. In their twisted reconfiguring of popularly recognizable musical elements, the band lets shine the rock populism that distinguishes this masterpiece from its merely suggestive predecessors. True, there are feral aspects to Receivers: frequently indulgent codas, Friel’s voice (“Mount Misery,” “Wedding in a Wasteland”), and bagpipes (“Little Ones”). Each of the album’s eight songs drill through merciless decibel levels, draw filthy lyrical landscapes, and apologize for nothing. Yet ultimately, Parts & Labor offer an equal share of nirvana in return. --Jason Kirk

Still with great, complicated, hard-driving electronica sounds - if that's what floated your boat, you'll find it here. If you also miss the harmonizing that helped make Mapmaker, try "Stay Afraid" instead.

その変化を一言で言うなら「ハーモニーの向上」
無数のパルスがぶつかり合う「刺激」や「アジテーション」が目だっていた従来と比べて、格段に空間的な調和を増した楽曲群は、彼ら本来の素晴らしいメロディラインを何よりも強く描き出す方向にシフトした。
これまでその手数の多さやエネルギッシュな律動をたたき出していたドラムは、今作ではむしろクラウトロックを思わせる端正なリズムで滑り出す。祝祭的な輝きを増したメロディは、疾走するリズムや湧き起こるフレーズに乗って増幅し、随所でドラマティックな昂揚感を炸裂させ、美しい残響の余韻を置き土産に遷っていくのだ。初っ端の"Satelite"の輝かしい興奮に打ち上げられ、美しいレールの上を疾走し続ける全7トラック/35分間。今のところ、彼らの作品の中で最も好きな作品がコレ。
