Since there is absolutely no need for another Animal Collective review, i figure it couldn't hurt to write a couple short reviews of albums i enjoy - but were bliped over by most of the world - from last year. they are in no particular order.
(well its only one review, i might post more later)
"Moody Motercycle" by Human Highway
"Moody Motercycle" is one of two solo project releases by the frontman for Islands last year. the other "Reafer" by reafer was a concept album that had its high and low points. Moody motercycle is, in my mind, the far superior of the two solo releases. Althought, as with most of the work by Nicholas Thorburn it can come of as a tad "pretentious" as one my friend damned it.
On Secound thought it might not be a great idea to say the bad things about the album first. The positive of the album can be sumed up into a nutshell, albeit a large nut shell. Many, in fact probably half the tracks, are catchy and interesting. The song draw you in almost imediatly: The songs also don't feeling like forumlaic pop-song and the riffs dont sound recycled or generic. "Moody Motercycle", is another in a long vein of "Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone" the first album of Mr. Thornburn's. Dont get me worng, it show a real change from his origonal work- bu its unmistakably his. Mr. Thorburn has a real obsession with the sea in his lyrics - i think every CD he composed that i own has multiple auquatic tracks. Basicaly, what this review is trying to say is give "Moody Motercycle" a listen if you liked anything by Islands or The Unicorns.
The sound:
and of course thierspace
