Free Music Notes for The Dandy Warhols Come Down
Free Music Review: Come down from where?!
Hit: 5 Stars
The Dandys are one of those singular sound outfits, in that after you're familiar with them, upon hearing an unfamiliar song from another Dandy album, you'll recognize it in a few short notes. They've borrowed the wall of sound from Phil Spector and harmonies from the Beach Boys but they've massaged droning fuzzy guitars and catchy synth leads into a new sound all their own. The infectious "Not if You Were the Last Junkie on Earth" is clearly the hit on the CD. Rent 'DiG!' the must-see 2004 Dandy documentary film companion piece, depicting the Warhols' rise contrasted with the sometimes sad, always animated floundering of friendly rivals The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

The major-label debut from Portland's psychedelic-pop protagonists swirls earfuls of 1960s guitar riffs around 1990s Brit-pop nuances. If Come Down occasionally sounds like Neil Young fronting Oasis ("Boys Better," "Minnesoter") or Lou Reed doing The Verve ("Good Morning"), it just as often turns self-referential and obscure. The quartet constructs a slavishly fashionable sound rife with drug references (the relentlessly jangly post-Cobain anthem, "Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth," includes the memorable chorus: "Heroin is so passe") and sleepy, detached elegance. There's sweeping beauty here, too, in the lush, intricate guitar work (courtesy Courtney Taylor and Peter Holmstrom) and the cooing female backing vocals (Zia McCabe). --Mark Woodlief
