Although Canción Animal is normally regarded as their greatest work, its follow-up, Dynamo, is much more experimental, and pushes the boundaries of the conservative Spanish music scene that much further, leading the front line into the world of alternative rock and shoegaze. It is engaging, trancing, and a worthy ending to Soda Stereo's stellar career. - 10/10"  [+]  Reply

Indeed, it is only right that an all female band like Savages should symbolise punk rock RIGHT NOW, as theirs is the true voice of rage and discontent in a system that is STILL dominated by white, male, hetrosexual men. Sure, there have been others like The Slits or The Raincoats but none have yet to push through the ranks to emerge as a fully fledged first division band to potently address the ranks of the misfits, the outsiders, and the freaks - and Savages are that band. All of the songs that brought the band to the public eye are here as are the visceral guitar dynamics that as so much spill from the speakers. Often coming across as an oceanic Stooges - circa Fun House - what's more than notable is the use of space leaving an airy tension between Gemma Thompson's roiling burst's of guitar show(wo)manship. Whatever, Silence Yourself is brilliant and this is the debut album of 2013. Buy it. "  [+]  Reply

You wouldn't know it by the lead single "the beast and dragon, adored" from "gimme fiction", their most complex song to-date. Spoon's into the funky, catchy, short single format -- leave 'em wanting more routine. While "beast" is a good song, it's not as representative of their usual indie pop/rock groove funk that they bring on the rest of this album (and all their other albums that i own). "two sides / monsieur valentine" is a song black sheep boy would've made for "the stage names" if they were trying to hit early 80s pop instead of mid-70s prog rock. "i turn my camera on" brings THA BASS and is probably tied for the best track with "sister jack" and "i summon you". For Spoon, it's more about the pure, unadulterated, make-the-beatles-want-to-reform simple pop gems than lyrics. Like on "i summon you" and that simple acoustic guitar lick and soft drum; the lyrics just roll off effortlessly as another fabric of the song as a whole ("you got the weight of the world coming down like a mother’s eye / And all that you can / All that you can give is a cold goodbye"). They brings some tricks too, like the reverb/gate of "sister jack" or they xylophone-like FX of "the infinite pet". I always have a blast putting on a Spoon album."  [+]  Reply

No. I don’t mean the grunge years. That was a given. No matter how improbable it seemed at the time. You just couldn’t keep that much talent - Nirvana, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains in particular - from going big. Seattle was going to blow. It was just a matter of time. Hair metal beckoned a correction. Metal had gone adrift way too far into the seas of cheese. A hard tack was in the cards. No. I’m taking about the rebirth. In the late 90s. Sub Pop was on its knees. Internal mutinies were plotted. Hell, even co-founder Bruce Pavitt wanted to call it quits. But not Jonathan Poneman. Poneman’s a lot like us. A music junkie. Addicted to the process of discovery. Finding that next musical high. That next big thing. That new sound. That’s right. Poneman of Sub Pop fame is a music addict just like us. And in the late 90s, he was desperately trying to jumpstart his once proud grunge behemoth Sub Pop. And by being a super music geek, Poneman pulled off one of the most successful rebrands of a record label in rock history. First came the The Shins Oh Inverted World. But no industry rests and Poneman needed to prove that Sub Pop was no longer just a grunge label. After all, with the Nicklebacks splashing in Puddles of Mudd 3 Doors Down, grunge or Sub Pop was hardly hip anymore. Quite the opposite. And he found it. After countless hours of listening to demo after demo after demo. He got that rush all over again. Finding Sam Beam baring his soul on an old demo tape. And there was magic there. No studio trickery. No band. Just Beam channeling Appalachalia into his bedroom. Channeling a campfire that never was. And this is the power of imagination. He made an a lo-fi Appalachian album. Call it lo fi indie if you want. The setting tell us to do so. The record label tells us to do so. Hell Allmusic compares it to Sebadoh. But the songs. The voice. The slide guitar. That banjo. They tell us differently. Reality check: I am NOT like Poneman. AT ALL. I just think I am. I let other people do my dirty work. You won’t catch me going through random demos looking for gold. EVER. It’s never happened. It never will happen. Shit, I didn’t even have any patience with those CMJ comps that would get mailed to my door back in the day. There’s tons of undiscovered gems out there. I just let other people find them for me. Thanks, BEA! Thanks, Spin! Thanks, Pitchfork! Thanks, Trouser Press and all the other countless lists I've scoured for the next fix. (Luckily, for all of us, I possess something called INSIGHT. That means I’m aware of my own shortcomings. I can see and more importantly smell my own pile of bullshit. Some people do not have this! They do not even realize that they shit! But more on this at another date.) Allmusic tries to connect this album to Sebadoh/Sentridoh and the lo-fi indie rock of the early 90s. But that’s bullshit. Sebadoh always felt neatly nestled in the indie rock universe. A logical and necessary part of it. This doesn’t. This is all its own. Even more so than Oh Inverted World. The problem with a lot of projects on this scale - one man bands in a bedroom- is that the songs can start to sound a like. Which is understandable. I mean it’s just one guy after all. In his bedroom. But this album completely bucks that notion as each song sounds distinct. Unique. The whole album somehow growing stronger as it travels along. Beam sent Poneman two albums worth of demos, and Poneman chiseled them down to this one record. A good editor is so underrated! Grade: A+. I really don’t know how Poneman did it back it the early 2000s. First the Shins and then this. He definitely deserves more credit since both albums sounded like nothing else at the time. Now we take the whole Indie Folk scene for granted. Plus they each came with their own identity. Their own mystique. Hell even the album title - The Creek Drank the Cradle - sounds like an old fable. Biblical in nature. It has this recorded in obscurity home vibe mystique to it. And neither The Shins nor Iron & Wine would ever quite capture that again despite continued success. Something other worldly. Like from an old radio station left behind by the Dharma Initiative. Something that would be playing down in that old hatch while Desmond waited around to push the button. To save the world. It was like you were being let in on this secret world. Something apart yet parallel to our own. And this album climbs out of that hatch an into the sunshine. No longer Lost on a desert island, a desert bedroom but rising high among the indie greats to number 16. "  [+]  Reply
