Free Music Review: Great songs and great guests fill out Minus Five's latest
Hit: 4 Stars
This side project of the Young Fresh Fellows' (and R.E.M. sideman) Scott McCaughey was originally conceived to catch the overflow from his prolific reservoir of songwriting. The Minus Five are more a constantly changing collective than an evolving band, with a complex history of membership, recording circumstances and releases. Initially formed by McCaughey with R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, and subsequently adding The Posies Jon Auer and Ken Stringfield, the Minus Five released a mailorder-only EP, an indie full-length and a full-length for the major-label subsidiary Hollywood. McCaughey's solo album was reissued as a Minus Five release, there was a one-off collection with Wilco issued under the Minus Five moniker, and outtakes from earlier sessions populated later albums. What's held this scavenger's path together has been McCaughey, whose voice and cockeyed songs have been the unifying thread.
McCaughey's fascination with the Beatles is on full display with the opener, blending a Lennon-esque vocal with strings and thudding Paul-and-Ringo styled piano-and-drums. McCaughey leads the collective through raucous Northwest rock, baroque pop, Nashville Skyline folk, and twangy country-rock, melding dark lyrical fragments with the craft of a pop album. In addition to the core "Five" of McCaughey, Buck, Bill Rieflin and John Ramberg, guests include the Decemberists' Collin Melroy providing vocals on the country-pop ballad "Cemetery Row," Wilco on "With a Gun" and Kelly Hogan and John Wesley Harding on "Twilight Distillery." Though recorded in dribs and drabs with a floating coterie of participants in a variety of locations and under varying circumstances, the songs truly hang together as an album that's sure to please Minus Five (and Scott McCaughey's collective of) fans.
