专辑介绍

More than just the single from the recent My Life in Rooms long-player, Just More Drugs is a satisfying stand-alone release that showcases Barzin's primary strength. Three of the four extra songs on this 20-minute EP are radio sessions recorded in England and Barzin's native Canada, and the stripped-down rearrangements of the title track, &Mistakes,& and &Let's Go Driving& put Mike Findlay's guitar and voice squarely in the spotlight where his soft but not weedy vocal style and the offhand introspection of his refreshingly non-emo lyrics can be best appreciated. In comparison, the new studio track &Queen Jane& sounds so much like the full-band slowcore haze of My Life in Rooms that one suspects it's simply an outtake. And in the context of the three minimalist radio sessions, the original album version of &Just More Drugs& sounds unnecessarily over-produced, its heavy effects and processing on Findlay's vocals suddenly ostentatious and slightly off-putting. Back in the day, EPs were both an effective place for experimentation and a low-impact way to display different sides of artists; Just More Drugs mostly fulfills the latter function, but by focusing on the aspect of their music that differentiates Barzin from their slowcore contemporaries, it also points in a potentially fruitful direction for future albums.
