| loose fur
born again in the usa
dc309 cd
rising from the undead three years after their debut is loose fur with an album of all new, all-american rock and roll called born again in the usa.
listening to the licks a-flyin’ and cowbells a-ringing, it’s clear that born again in the usa is more the work of a full-fledged rock band than the first loose fur album — which isn’t to say that kotche, o’rourke and tweedy didn’t bother to weave the ever-lovin’ kitchen sink into this brand-new sonic tapestry. on the contrary ... for their second coming, they gave everything they had — because our modern way of life hangs in the balance! if this shit don’t save you, then nothing will.
don’t get us wrong — born again in the usa is good old-fashioned fun for the whole family and all — but if you’re one of those types who wants to understand your yes albums, your king crimson concepts and your elo rockarias, loose fur have a few distinctly un-subliminal messages for you that are going to cut through all that middle-earthian crap and free your mind to go dancing in the streets. get your heads out of the clouds, kids — we need you here on terra firma. ain’t you heard? there’s a war on! no, not that one! open your eyes! and your ears...
with all messages aside, the loose fur ii sound is irreverently all over the place. twinned electric guitarmonies and stop-on-a-dime rhythms give way to breezy acoustics and melodious whistling, which in turn fades into an ominous well of vibes, percussion and ... distant thunder? throughout born again in the usa, loose fur keep the changes (and the chuckles) coming, crafting a complete album of classic and questing pop music that threatens to satisfy fans of wilco, o’rourke, on fillmore and even godspell all at once. it’s just that all-encompassing — a populist entertainment that takes no prisoners. what would we do with them, anyway? this is war!
the kingdom of heaven is coming — so duck and cover — and get born again in the usa! |
