专辑介绍

by Rick Anderson

The Appleseed Cast has a sound that you might have a hard time categorizing until you hear someone use the phrase &Midwest post-rock.& Then it becomes obvious that that's exactly what they sound like, even if the term itself is really kind of baffling. You have to hear it to understand: the Appleseed Cast's sound is often noisy, but is never just noise; they experiment with weird and unusual production approaches, but you wouldn't call them avant-garde. Nestled within the sometimes dense clouds of guitar noise are genuinely attractive hooks, and their songs often contain puzzling but highly effective contradictions. Note, for example, &Here We Are (Family in the Hallways),& which is one of the album's finest tracks and sounds both chaotically hooky and energetically heartbroken. Nothing can really prepare you for the sonically bizarre &Mountain Halo,& but then, the Robert Smith vocal inflections on &February& are every bit as surprising. The instrumental tracks are all very interesting, but with the exception of the excellent &An Orange and a Blue,& none is as engaging as the songs, and the one that ends the program takes things out with more of a whimper than a bang. Recommended overall.
