The Curved Air comparison was a suprise to me as well, I can't even lay my hands on the album I'm thinking of (in a box of vinyl somewhere) but something in the singing brought it all back to me. 432877@blogcritics.org Sat, 26 Aug 2006 04:57:59 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/08/25/181004.php#comment-432765 You know, after Death Cab for Cutie, the Long Winters, Maktub, the Math and Physics Club, Minus the Bear, Pedro the Lion, and honorary Seattleite Neko Case, maybe we can retire the "Seattle = Grunge" review trope. I think the town has proved that it's broader than that. On the other hand, nice comparison with Curved Air--I think that's the first time in a while that I've seen anyone namecheck them. 432765@blogcritics.org Fri, 25 Aug 2006 20:35:40 EDT
