aural jewel in the crown for the
ever-consistent pickled egg label. this four tracker is slow to kick in but give
it time and i promise you will wear the vinyl out. playing the mix and match game
homescience draw on such luminaries as velvet underground, pavement and will oldham
while dipping their toes into the slacker generation and the wacky variations
of west coast pop. not a chink in the armour in any of these four tracks, 'dust'
trips through with some lovely melodica and crooked guitars. 'end the year' has
a wintery country edge to it all, 'ghosts' out trips of montreal at their own
game with some tentative fuzziness. i have to say that 'carol k' will take some
beating this year, anthemic sounding, laid back vocals against a sublime backdrop
of celestial orchestrations, an indie power ballad without the ballad. with an
imminent album promised this is thoroughly recommended a limited pressing that
is sure to fly out so avoid embarrassment and invest now.
