Evening Tapestry
What we need is more tambourine! More hand
tambourine. More drum kit tambourine. Just more clangy metal
sound! But not in like a totally hippy way, but more like a
vaguely trippy 60s multi-colored Austin Powers kind
of way. Retro to a fault, I think these guys are going for that
Zombies sort of sound, but just end up sounding like a hung
over band full of drug addled slackers. I appreciate the sound
they're able to produce, and its spot-on throwback environment,
but if I wanted Belle &
Sebastian in space, I'd just run one of their albums on
33 through a megaphone and call it quits. I can't say I feel
compelled to listen to this one again any time soon, not because
it sucks, but because there have been a whole gang of bands
in the last 15 years that have approximated this sound, but
not done so at the expense of writing a good song. |
