Flattbush – Seize The Time! (CD)

Flattbush starts out their “Seize The Time” in a way that reminds me a lot of a blend of To My Surprise, Buckethead, Fear Factory, and early Korn. The use of double bass drums and shrill guitars is something that hits listeners throughout “Serve The People”, and while the track may only be two minutes long, the band feels as if they have been playing for four or five minutes.…

Syntaks’ “Ylajali”

Ylajali is the debut full-length from Syntaks, the Danish duo of Jakob Skott and Anna Cecilia. In Ylajali’s beautifully scorched sonic landscape, acres of drones run beneath Cecilia’s wordless sighs; Skott’s beats crunch like autumn leaves while synthesizers swell, flourish, and disappear. Songs either tramp through hazy forests until they fade into the dark (the Boards of Canada-esque “Love Camp 23”), or stack tone upon tone like translucent building blocks,…

Flashlight Brown – Blue (CD)

“That’s My Problem” is essentially what a Green Day or a Nofx song would start out if the band started out in 2002 instead of 1982 or 1992, respectively. “That’s My Problem” really seems to show a commonality between Flashlight Brown and bands like Simple Plan and the F-Ups. It is not even that Flashlight Brown has cribbed the style of the average pop-punk band, but rather that the vocals…

The Flaming Tsunamis – Fear Everything (CD)

I don’t know what I was thinking, but I was assuming some sort of indie rock when The Flaming Tsunamis opened up their “Fear Everything” with “The Ritalin Conspiracy”. What really awaits listeners is an eclectic style that mixes noise with odd breakdowns (as is the case with the Big Band interlude present in the first track), in a way that would make Men’s Recovery Project and Agoraphobic Nosebleed proud.…

DEEP ELM RECORDS RELEASES PAPERMOONS “NEW TALES”

Less is more. It’s a philosophy that Matt Clark and Daniel Hawkins of PAPERMOONS understand quite well. The idea that you can say a whole lot more without screaming or shouting is evidenced by the brilliantly constructed songs on their debut NEW TALES. They use subtle transitions, gorgeous Simon & Garfunkel-esque harmonies, intricate performances and attention to every minute detail to create a unique mid-tempo mix of indie rock and…

The Flaming Stars – Named and Shamed (CD)

Alternative Tentacles releases the weirdest shit. I’ve been able to get quite a few albums from them, and they never fail to amaze me. This time, The Flaming Stars come through with a Peter Gabriel meets Daniel Ash brand of brit-pop that has more than a passing gaze to the halcyon days of the 1980s. The first track, “She’s Gone”, uses a strong guitar presence and bass-laden drums to work…

The Flakes – Back To School (CD)

Where fellow label mate SLA created a style of psychedelic/dingy-rock for their album, The Flakes have a Who meets Monkees type of sound; the first track even throws a little surf guitar into the mix for good measure. “C’Mon and Swim” continues this same general sound, but scales back the explosive nature of “That’s All” for a more balanced sound. In a sense, the style of music that The Flakes…

The Flairs – Shut Up and Drive (CD)

The Flairs start off with “Poison Love”, and the style of music that they make is a punkish, rockish blend that can be compared to acts like The Donnas, The Eyeliners, and Bif Naked. The tracks are created with catchy choruses, the power chords are many, and the band just feels as if they will make it to the big time in just a few months. The second track on…
