Music reviews of Furniture
Music Review: Part 1 of the Fugazi finale.
Rating: 5 Stars
So it really does look as if Fugazi are no more. '87 to 2001/2002 : 2 ep's, 2 mini albums, 6 studio albums, a soundtrack album, a documentary, countless live shows and status of one of the greatest bands of the past 15 or so years. That's not a bad run by any bands standards is it? Especially when you consider we're dealing with a band that came out of hardcore here, a genre that usually deals with bands burning out and splitting up after a handful of 7"s and one album or turning metal/alternative/polka-folk-bluegrass-jazz-Duran-Duran-lite-goth on their sophmore effort. Even more so when you remind yourself that Fugazi is a band that's never disappointed (well, ok : i admit the more jam-heavy Guy songs on "end hits" did take some getting used to) and, while keeping their style intact, have always managed to evolve and not repeat themselves with each successive release. I guess we can look at this and their "the argument" album as their last hurrah before riding into the sunset without even an official "that's all folks" but what a way to go out.
Track one "furniture" is the old sparse Gang Of Four-ish '87 Ian classic that anyone who has ever been to see Fugazi live a few times is already familiar with. It would've fitted in perfectly on the "6 songs" mini album alongside "waiting room" and "suggestion". Track two "# 5" is an uptempo, pounding Joe and Brendan penned instrumenatal song full of fascinating band interplay between the rhythm section and the two guitarists. And, finally, track three "hello morning" is the Guy effort. Like "# 5" and "full disclosure" from "the argument" ("five corporations" from "end hits" too if you really wanna nitpick) this is the hardest Fugazi have been since the "in on the killtaker" days.
As with every Fugazi release the Don Zientara production is stellar as it always manages to capture their live power, along with the subtle intracies of the music without it sounding overproduced or underproduced. I suppose i can see why they didn't put "# 5" and "hello morning" on "the argument" but, realistically, they would've slotted on there perfectly. Still, it's kinda nice they didn't as they gave us long-time Fugazi fans an ep with a live favorite that had never received studio treatment and two impeccable new tracks. The cd running time is under 10 minutes but this remains one of my favorite releases from the past 5 years.
Description of Furniture
Released in conjunction with Argument, Furniture is a three-song EP putting together older tracks that had yet to be put on disc. Running with similar consistency to the 3 Songs EP that preceded Repeater, these older songs still sound fresh. "Furniture," with its trademark Ian MacKaye call-response vocal, would have been quite comfortable on either of the first two EPs. The Guy Picciotto-led "Hello Morning" is reminiscent of "Break-In," while the driving instrumental second track, "Number 5," is scorching. Thankfully kept separate from the very different Argument, this should be heard by any Fugazi fan, no matter what time of the band they consider the best. ~ Chris True, All Music GuideAlternative Rock CDs
