CD Review: Nickel Creek - Why Should the Fire Die?
A great deal of the album's warmth comes from its melodic enterprising, the soothingly fluent "Anthony" sounding like a cross between Gillian Welsh and Brian Wilson

CD Review: Deerhoof - The Runners Four
Quite simply, this is a brilliant, dynamic, and insane listen. Now, one could argue about what band came first and who influenced who 'til the cows come home, but it would be far more satisfying to try and determine just what the hell this is.
