Music reviews of When the Red King Comes
Music Review: When the red king comes, bake him a nice cake
Rating: 4 Stars
When I first heard this record I was immediately turned off by its lo-fi production and Velvet Undergroundesque chord progressions (lots of I-IV stuff). I don't mind lo-fi at all, but the world has seen enough velvets influence. ENOUGH. Please. NO MORE! However, many mysterious little elements kept cropping up: offbeat lyrics of castles and frightened singers, otherworldly pipes, eerie wooshing sounds, beguiling but subtle effects--not to mention a really cool album cover that took me back to the days when you could stare at a record's album art while auditioning the platter. Soon after, I was hooked, and didn't ever think of VU. These songs have a wistful, innocent charm and sense of mystery that blooms out from the simple band arrangements. The title track is a great anthem with an almost GBV meets tolkien feel. The Eno cover is absolutely wonderful. The melodies are simple but hooky, perfect for whirling my little daughter around. Like labelmates Olivia Tremor Control, this album is great escapist fun, but suffused with a poignant innocence that keeps it from being a mere pleasant distraction.
