I quite like the Wipers. And the Minutemen.
I actually don't like 90s music much, and I'm pretty ignorant on bands from the 2000s, but there is probably some pretty good stuff out there. I like the black lips, but if i know a recent group, that probably means they are well known. |

Silversun Pickups
Carnavas
5.0 out of 10.0
Given Silver Lake's fashion-forwardness (also absurdity), it makes sense that recent grunge-on-the-runway anticipates a 1990s throwback band straight out of aforementioned L.A. hipster pocket. Silversun Pickups, named in homage to a Sunset/Silver Lake liquor store, spurn the Beach Boys and Thrills approach to California, channeling, instead, the weirder darkness of acts like Autolux. Carnavas, the band's first full-length, comes off as something of an aural spiderweb: glinty, silvery, and vaguely treacherous. Their spidery technique for entrapping listeners is this: wrap them up in familiar noises toward which they feel more-or-less favorably and count on imminent stupo
Carnavas scores points for constructing dreamlike aural shrouds. Those nostalgic for Smashing Pumpkins tunes of yesteryear will find them nestled inside the minutes (and there are so many minutes) of "Lazy Eye". Those desirous of music to play while gazing at Magic Eye pics will appreciate the record for its fuzzy blur; it's possible that they'll even find this album extremely rewarding, and find hidden, wonderful things in it, like crosses or hearts, or whatever it is Magic Eye creators are putting in their images these days.
Maybe it's a prereq for making this sort of racket, but Silversun Pickups too often teeter into melodrama. Consider "Future Foe Scenarios", which seems like it could be about a village raising fists to heaven after plagues of something (Locusts? Boils?), dissolving into screams of "I must stop drinking". And "Common Reactor", which also winds up a screaming, terrifying display of pathos.
Unfortunately, the music fails to justify the histrionics. Songs start out exciting, drag on for too long, and/or become screaming. Lyrics seem like they're poking fun at Corgan, or impersonating a high school version of him: compare "Rhinoceros" ("Open your eyes-- to these I must lie?") and "Tempo" ("She said don't open your eyes/ Don't open your eyes/ And said goodnight"). Words elsewhere are wholly incomprehensible ("What was that scar situated from afar/ What was that light integrated in your mind" on "Well Thought Out Twinkles"). Other times-- OK a lot of times-- Brian Aubert's emo-boy voice gets to be too much, worse than even Corgan's barely-tolerable nasal delivery. Girl parts, offered by bassist Nikki Monninger, are welcome respite; also, she's way cute. In the end, despite the band's valiant and respectable effort, Carnavas ends up too unfocused, too rambly, too boring to make any lasting impressions.

Surfer Blood
Astro Coast
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fHmMvVZtEg&feature=relmfu
There's plenty to like about Astro Coast, the debut LP from the youthful Floridians in Surfer Blood, but first and foremost it's a great guitar album. This is a great guitar album in the way Weezer's Blue Album, Built to Spill's Keep It Like a Secret, or, more recently, Japandroids' Post-Nothing are: six-strings serve as a multiplier for hooks, making it every bit as easy and fun to air guitar with as it is to sing along to. |

Sleigh Bells
Treats
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhYYd5adVY4&feature=fvst
Once in a while a record comes along that makes you re-think loud: King of Rock; The Land of Rape and Honey; Nation of Millions; Super Ae; I Get Wet; Kesto. Setting aside the quality of the material-- there are classics here, along with albums I never listen to anymore-- these albums are notable for me because the first time I heard them, music just seemed bigger than it had before, like it took up more space and hit with more force and went further than once seemed possible. |

This is easily the best unofficial video I have ever seen. Does anyone know what movie(s) these clips are from?
