Free Music Notes for Getaway
Free Music Review: infectious grooves abound
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of my beloved bands playing on a really fine record. While better produced than some of their earlier work, this on again, off again trio continues, over and over again, to deliver music that is a joy to listen to. Combining folkish Velvet Underground-ish three chord rock with various indie rock sonic experiments, including some cuts that remind me of My Bloody Valentine at their most danceable, and featuring the fine accompanying playing of Yo La Tengo's Georgia Hubley and Ira Kaplan on two tracks, some mighty infectious grooves abound on this, a wonderfully warm, enjoyable recording by a legendary group.
Getaway Poster
If you haven't heard the Clean yet, you may have heard their influence bubbling up in Stereolab's loopy keyboards or in Sonic Youth's more experimental excursions. Getaway marks the Clean's triumphant return: brothers David and Hamish (the Mad Scene) Kilgour, with Robert Scott (the Bats), together again after five years, seem rejuvenated from their solo work, ready to reexplore the outer reaches of New Zealand space pop. With Yo La Tengo's Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley each playing on two tracks, there is indeed a feel-good guitar vibe on Getaway, but the chicken/egg argument ends there--the Clean have been around for over 20 years. Trading vocals in their customary fashion, Hamish recalls a more laid-back Lou Reed on "Crazy," while David summons Spacemen 3 on the vibrant opener "Stars." Scott's signature croon on "E-Motel" is as comforting as ever, breezy and gauze-thin. On other tracks, the cool sounds envelop you like a blanket, proving that when these guys get together, the total effect is greater than the sum of the chiming, jangling parts. --Cyndi ElliottAlternative Rock Music CDs
