Released but a few short weeks back, the latest batch of intricate and experimentally woven polyphono-orchestro (got that?) fare from San Diego fair haired favorites
Pinback is a perfected piece of studio performance, carefully crafted down to the punctuating needle prick and brimming with all the interlocking vocals, brainy bass lines, and chiming, Police-esque guitar work fans have come to expect from
Armistead Burwell Smith IV and
Rob Crow. Though
Autumn of the Seraphs (
Touch and Go) is as good as any that has slid through the mail slot this year, the album makes a pounding on the desk-top kind of argument for witnessing what they do in the fleshy present. Fortunately, the band is currently pouncing round the country on a long and lanky tour
which means what are you doing here? Go check them out! -
