Hit: 4 Stars
Another gem from Lou Reed's deadpan bastard cousin, Bill Callahan, whose 2X4 baritone and ability to sound assured and vulnerable at the same time evoke a terse bartender packing heat in the world's unconsciously hippest saloon; there may be danger, and it could be your funeral, but everyone will dress sexy for it, and would you want it any other way? The usual Smog palette is in place: thoughtful, nuanced arrangements and understated, dry, poignant lyrics that avoid being maudlin. Pedal steel guitar anchors some of the lovelier harmonies, which are launched into orbit by a female vocalist (listen to "Feather by Feather" & the epic "Truth Serum", almost too short at only 7+ minutes); not as earthbound as his last "Rain on Lens", "Supper" aims for the ethereal sonic beauty of '97's "Red Apple Falls" with the incisive, laconic songwriting that marked "Dongs of Sevotion"'s austere power. Rather than uprooting you with the force of an earthquake, Callahan's songs usually feel like aftershocks, low-key jolts that will turn your head but still leave your house standing. As he sings (in the leadoff song): "When they make the movie of your life, you'll have to do your own stunts.....", you're struck by his prescience - songwriter or seer? That walk on the wild side may just land you in a pothole. Along with M. Ward's "Transfiguration of Vincent" and Howe Gelb's excellent "The Listener", you probably won't find a better album this year.
Supper Poster
While their eleventh full length may strike you as easy listening with its soft steel guitars, female harmony vocals, and fluttering guitars, Supper retains Smog's penchant for sharp observations, a steady stream of humorous specters, and discomfiting intimacy. 9 tracks. Drag City. 2003.Alternative Rock Music CDs
