Release Notes:
Where their eponymous debut was hailed as a 21st century take on grunge
back in 2008, this follow-up digs deeper into 80s post-punk and
hardcore to create something altogether pricklier.
Singer Matthew Schultz howls, screams, growls and whimpers like a
transforming werewolf while his guitarist brother Brad plays
tangle-wire riffs throughout that sound like Joey Santiago being strung
up by his own E string. On Indy Kidz, CTE even mock their own
(potential) fanbase with an intentionally discordant gutter-rock
open-throated croaks and lisping impression of a geeky indie scene
victim desperate to "get the right haircut". Provocative and
2001.
Like all the prickliest fruit, however, plunging past the defensive
outer layer opens up a delicious core. Though essentially pop at heart,
religiously adhered to and bubblegum hooks were buried beneath
mainstream-scaring wildcat vocals, guitars like out-of-control
chainsaws and the production values of the average abattoir. In an age
where US indie rock is as easily digestible as Kings of Leon, The
Around My Head is the offspring of Where Is My Mind?, Subbacultcha and
Here Comes Your Man; Sabretooth Tiger crawls, bruised and bloody, off
shades beaten out of it by a robot Slipknot. Japanese Buffalo even
Heaven before becoming a perfectly spliced amalgam of Vamos and Tame.
the subtle and original melodic twists CTE are capable of.
Elegant acoustic strumbler Rubber Ball lilts along with a cracked,
the best alt-country weepie since Elliott Smith. Throughout, CTE prove
mainstream sensibilities. Time to break their locks.
EU release (released today) comes with a bonus CD of great acoustic
tracks. Enjoy!
