SYNDICATE
Posted by: Dave on November 21, 2005 at 10:51 pm

Sound: David Berman’s husky, alcohol-soaked vocals meet up with country-flavored indie rock that alternates between spirited and mopey. Sounds like a recipe for depressing rants, but his oddball lyrics keep the tone light and amusing. His wife Cassie’s frequent background vocals also add pep and balance.
Heavy Rotation track:How Can I Love You If You Won’t Lie Down?icon
Medium Rotation tracks: Punks In the Beerlighticon“; “Sometimes a Pony Gets Depressedicon“; “I’m Getting Back Into Getting Back Into Youicon
Recommended: To anyone that ‘s enjoyed their dark and twangy slacker rock over the years, this a solid group of songs. But the whole thing leaves me a bit frustrated – the best songs are too short and the weakest songs are too long.
Grade: B-
