Held Like Sound #7

H.Chinaski plays a mellow, lo-fi slant of angular rock.   The use of sparse keyboards is a great accompaniment for the cryptic lyrics.   The emotional vocals are half screamed, half sung and boast some great, subtle melodies.   Standout tracks are "Flying Saucer,""Track 8 Club Dancer,""Give Me the D" (which contains a spaced-out keyboard breakdown) and the catchy "Red Cars".   Interesting cover art resembling a Communist Party propaganda poster.   A great album from a band that's been together for almost 10 years.   Fans of Don Caballero and Superchunk will really like this.
