The major-label debut from Portland’s psychedelic-pop protagonists swirls earfuls of 1960s guitar riffs around 1990s Brit-pop nuances. If Come Down occasionally sounds like Neil Young fronting Oasis (“Boys Better,” “Minnesoter”) or Lou Reed doing The Verve (“Good Morning”), it just as often turns self-referential and obscure. The quartet constructs a slavishly fashionable sound rife with drug references (the relentlessly jangly post-Cobain anthem, “Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth,” includes the memorable chorus: “Heroin is so passe”) and sleepy, detached elegance. There’s sweeping beauty here, too, in the lush, intricate guitar work (courtesy Courtney Taylor and Peter Holmstrom) and the cooing female backing vocals (Zia McCabe). –Mark Woodlief
Product Description
This Portland, OR 4-piece play “an aggressive mix of psychedelic guitar, lush dissonance and stoner vocals” (Rolling Stone). Comparisons to “brit-pop” stars (e.g. Oasis) are made often, and front man Courtney Taylor’s “quote-ability” has helped them create a buzz at press and retail. The hip, often outrageous band sold 12,000 units of their 1995 indie full-length debut, Dandy’s Rule OK, and attracted alt-rock airplay and MTV spins on the track “The Dandy Warhol’s’ T.V. Theme Song.” the next single/video is “Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth.”
