Modwheelmood: “Enemies and Immigrants”
(Buddyhead Records)
Pot-luck fricassee of Blind Melon, Zep and Radiohead, spanning generational divides as far as that goes, but targeting a somewhat narrow demographic of altie record buyers. “Things Will Change” has an easily digestible Radiohead shuffle-rhythm moving it along as the vocals shoot for a neo-Sixties thing perfect for modeling pencil dresses to, and then “Going Nowhere” waddles in with a Tricky-vs-Cowboy Junkies sub-bolero routine urged on by John Bonham-worthy pots-and-pans-sounding drums. The refrains are often stupendous, never more so than in “Delay Lama,” where the Shannon Hoon-isms elbow their way into Yes territory over George Harrison guitars and another slick beat. A few more layers and this EP could be major label bait in a big way.
