Free Music Notes for At Sixes and Sevens
Free Music Review: Keeping indie rock alive
Hit: 5 Stars
The early 1990s saw the release of many classic "indie" and "alternative" rock albums. It seemed like the building momentum of the '80s post-punk underground scene, all of the great SST releases, the emergence of Sub Pop, the often [bad], but interesting Homestead Records bands... this whole broad spectrum of great underground rock music had become a tradition. And in the early 90s it all really seemed to come to fruition. Albums like Pavement's "Slanted and Enchanted" or Sebadoh's "Bakesale" represent a certain period for me. That music stood on the edge between what would become more mainstream rock, while having their feet planted firmly still in the underground. But you don't get any idea that the bands were conscious of any of this. It was just great distorted but highly catchy rock music. It's hard to explain, but there are so few artists today that still evoke that kind of sound. Most of the artists still around from those days kinda moved on to produce a lot of good records, but the raw immediate force of the older records was gone. Jason Loewenstein hasn't forgotten that sound though. He's still making it. And At Sixes and Sevens is just as raw and rocking as those old Sebadoh records, but with such better songwriting. Loewenstein has grown up in all the right ways in his music making, without the self-consciousness that often leads bands into over-producing and over-thinking themselves to the point where they lose some of the magic. Songs like "Circles", "Roswell to Jerusalem" and "Transform" need to be heard by anyone who fondly recalls those days in the early '90s when radio and tv still didn't know how to streamline "alternative" culture into a mass marketing scheme. Perhaps my review is simply meandering, but I think that some of you reading this might kinda get what I'm getting at. And if you like Jason's songs like "It's All You" or "Zone Doubt" on the last couple Sebadoh records, I don't think you'll be disappointed by this record. Another Louisville rock classic.
At Sixes and Sevens Poster
Jason Loewenstein is a member of Sebadoh. On the last three or four Sebadoh records, Jason wrote nearly half the songs. And, while Sebadoh was always a very democratic affair, each of the members writing and singing their own songs, with the other guys picking up the rest of the necessary instruments, At Sixes and Sevens is a democracy of exactly one. All of the guitar and bass playing, all of the drumming, the singing the schlepping of equipment from place to place, the pressing 'record': all Jason, all the time. Urgent, angular, at times even manic.Alternative Rock Music CDs
