Free Music Notes for Set Free
Free Music Review: Mellow, quietly gleaming songs
Hit: 4 Stars
"Mellow, quietly gleaming songs" sounds good. That's what AMG says about these guys. Kinda like Luna with a bit more Southern twang. Kinda like a cool breeze... okay, kidding. Good musicians. Good songs. "Immaculate Heart 2" and "Born on the Cusp" will make you happy. "Promise of Love" also good album, especially the propulsive "Hard to Find."
Set Free Poster
The Austin-based drone-pop quartet the AMERICAN ANALOG SET evolved from the ashes of Dallas' ELECTRIC COMPANY in 1994. 'Set Free' is the album that the band has been waiting a decade to make and with no time restrictions, no label, no money, and many miles between the members of the band, AmAnSet made it all happen exactly as they wanted it to. It is their strongest, most surprising work to date as it marks the culmination of many years playing together and growing as musicians and as a band. 'Set Free' completes this story with 12 songs about getting over something that never goes away.American Analog Set is one of the most endearing bands you've probably never heard of. AmAnSet, as they are sometimes known, have spent 10 years writing and recording six full-length CDs that are religiously loved by fans; their new disc, Set Free, is likely to be similarly worshipped. Those unfamiliar with the group's gorgeously floaty sounds deserve an analogy, so here's one to get you started: imagine that the late singer/songwriter Elliott Smith did a disc of lullabies, sometimes solo, occasionally backed by Stereolab. Sounds good, doesn't it? In fact, it's great. American Analog Set's beauty lies in its combination of simplicity, candor, and yes, repetition. There are some amazing moments on this disc; "Cool Kids Keep" pulsates with a subtle groove, while "She's Half" contains the kind of fragile beauty that can cause a full body ache. Set Free is the musical equivalent of a an old fleece hoodie. While this music can't change the world, it can make people happier, calmer, and more peaceful...one listener at a time. --Denise Sheppard
