If I had to summarize the
Dandy Warhols' career in a single word, "evolution" isn't the one that comes to mind. Most bands that survive past an album or two evolve, but the word implies too linear a course, as though some ultimate goal exists, whereas I'm not convinced that even the Dandy Warhols know exactly where the Dandy Warhols are heading. "Migration" might be a better fit. Like a rocking tribe of homosapiens, the Portland band have been criss-crossing the musical landscape since 1995's
Dandy Rule, OK?, and their latest release is no exception.
Earth To The Dandy Warhols (BTW), the Dandys' most sprawling record to date, seems to take a retrospective view of the groups' journey until this point -- surveys the wilderness, so to speak -- but the Dandys remain anything but sedentary.
