American
Head "It's
a stab at pop culture. It's a challenge to convention. And it's silly "A tenet of sample-based music is that anything can be used to make a song -- from noise to other songs -- removing the distinction between background sound and music per se. While most electronic music tries to elevate samples to the level of genuine, emotionally expressive instruments, [American Head] explores the alternative: that all media is melodrama. Screams of pain, delicate strings, Christian radio, and musical theater all take on a feeling of boredom and sadness. Sometimes it's a can't-get-out-of-bed-feeling... sometimes it's frustration -- expressed not as noise but as beautifully, desperately huge beats..." -Eli Jacobowitz, extremely biased president of QQQuantity Records "This new and interesting burst of music has nearly vanquished the vulgar memory of the latest Ford commercials from my computer made of meat." -Kasten Searles, Junior Miss Junkyard "Let's just say the album's been in heavy petting. Er, i mean rotation." -Mark Hooks |
