about

THE PROBLEM with kids these days is they aren’t getting enough Baby Carrot. After eight years milling about local rock clubs and Noise Pop fests, the trio only just released its debut Play Every Day earlier this year on its own Some Guy Down the Street label–and is now getting around to a CD release party this Saturday (Cinco de Mayo, y’all) at El Rio in San Francisco, with Carlos and Lower Forty-Eight in tow.

Play Every Day is a platter that merits more attention than it’ll get just around here. There’s some good ol’ power-pop thrown in amid the buzzing guitar and sweet la-la-la backup vocals of “Forgot to Read,” but more of the disc is full of molasses-flowing, burbling guitars, wry vocals, and lush and jerky arrangements. “Bet a Nickel” is bouncy and noisy-buzzy and sweet and all that is good in indie rock, and other tracks may remind you of Pavement or any number of other bands, but that’s just ’cause it’s so damn polished–and yeah, because it sounds a bit like those bands, but so what? The driving twists and turns of the distorted and pretzel-rhythmed “Sandblock” or the simple folk-song oasis of “Deciding Time” hint at a mammoth pop savvy that’s way too big for our bridges.
