On their debut, Louisville's Chemic shows themselves to be embracers of established approaches rather than radical reinventors -- no sin at all, but in an era of bands loving their collections not too wisely but too well it's always useful to keep some perspective. This said, Fever on the Forest Floor is an enjoyable listen in the realm of starry-eyed indie-rock that, unlike so many of its contemporaries out to recreate sweeping Flaming Lipsisms again and again, seek a more downbeat approach -- calm acoustic-led arrangements, reflective delivery, an approach more restrained than hyperdramatic. Lead singer and musician Scott Kirkpatrick's high, softly sung voice and his easygoing guitar, matched with the calm backing of his bandmates, is all the more enjoyable for suggesting they could suddenly pour it on but never actually doing so, aside from the appropriately titled "Calm Killers" -- songs don't suddenly burst out into explosive choruses, though occasionally they can kick up their heels like on "Off the List." Even a more jaunty number like the piano-led "War is Over" has its own calming air thanks to his singing, which in the overdubbed harmonies could almost be a bit of ELO-style flair. Certainly there are other more recent models for Chemic's general approach -- not for nothing does the band list acts like Will Oldham and Grandaddy on its Myspace page -- but there are times when Kirkpatrick and company gently step beyond them, as with the dreamy, flowing undercarriage on "Good Mary." Perhaps the most surprising touch in context is the brisk hip-hop beat that kicks off "Don't Go Close" -- not a radical move in general but it shows again that sometimes all that's needed is a little juxtaposition to make something really sharp. --AllMusic Guide Review
