Record Reviews
Athens' own Mouser starts out this collection with four songs. The tender, darkly textured "Hear God" comes first and is gorgeous in both its arrangement and simplicity. And sadly, that's the last good thing we hear from Mouser on Snakemouth Maintenance Man. "Liquor Kitty" opens with a solid 50 seconds of staccato horns, which lead into a full-on staccato rocker which, except for brief blasts of a genuinely propulsive chorus, is completely irritating. "Netherlands," on the other hand, utilizes its horn arrangement intelligently even when breaking down at certain points. The four-chord guitar lines feed the song through a marching-band psychedelia and the track is solid, although it could do without the slowed-down afterthought of an ending. The final Mouser song, "Far Tart," is much too close to a Neutral Milk Hotel interlude (namely "The Fool" from In the Aeroplane over The Sea) to even really merit consideration.
[Mouser] has the ability to produce moving, intensely emotional music, but unfortunately, you'll only find scattered examples of that on Snakemouth Maintenance Man. [Mouser] would be vastly improved if it would dump the horns. Their presence is a musical crutch, and winds up weakening songs which could've been much stronger.
Last night (4/11/09) Dan Deacon, Future Islands, and Teeth Mountain played a show at the Masquerade in Atlanta. The other bands finished their sets completely and Dan Deacon w/ his ensemble set up and began playing around 11:45. Only 30 minutes into his set, without warning, the sound guy shut off power to Dan's equipment. They then proceeded to yell racist slurs over the PA system and yell at everyone to "Get the fuck out if you don't like it". The show was shut down and a DJ came in to play top 40 club music for a dance party.
This venue was lucky enough to have the likes of a few extremely talented and original artists play on their stage and they utterly fucked them over for a trendy dance party.
I went to the venue expecting a show run by greedy elitists, and the way last night's situation was handled only reinforced this. The management really showed their true colors. They're motivated primarily by money, and the artists are the second priority.
Come out to the show!!! SATURDAY MARCH 28th (tomorrow). Two bands are from out of town! Directions are below the flyer, then check out the links to the bands playing if you want to know what to expect:
Driections: From downtown take North Ave, turn Left onto MLK, go down MLK and when it crosses under the Loop 10 it becomes Commerce RD, 2465 Commerce road is on the Left about two miles from the loop, look for a "House Show" sign marking the driveway.
